Instruments with multi-channel outputs
The number of available individual outputs generally depends on the
instrument, and this may be adjusted via the instrument's settings. Outputs
may be available in stereo or mono.
Distributing sounds on multiple single tracks
This approach, for example, is ideal for all drum samplers if you want to
address an entire drum set, but prefer to mix and edit the drum sounds
individually.
Addressing an instriment on several MIDI channels
Several MIDI tracks are typically used for so-called "multi-timbral" synthesizers
which can play several sounds on different MIDI channels simultaneously,
whereby each addresses a specific sound program (part) on a specified MIDI
channel. This also has the advantage that such instruments only require one
instance of the plug-in for several sounds. Multi-timbral software instruments
often have separate audio outputs. Please remember to route the individual
parts to the desired outputs within the VST instrument (panel).
Adjust instrument parameters
The instruments editor (panel) is then opened when an instrument is loaded
and can be opened again at any later date by right clicking on the VSTi slot in
which the instrument name is displayed. Alternately, the VSTi editor can also
be opened by right clicking on the record button on the track -> Instrument
output -> VSTi editor.
The graphical interface opens by default. If the selected instrument (or plug-in)
does not have its own interface, the parameters dialog will open. This display
mode is limited to just a few control elements and can only be opened via the
menu of the instrument window. Use this mode if you find the panel of the
plug-in too unclear or if it takes up too much space on the screen. In this
dialog eight freely selectable parameters of the instrument are clearly and
numerically displayed. Bar controls can be used to adjust the parameter
values.
Alongside the combi-boxes for the selection of all instrument parameters, the
"Auto" checkbox is also of importance. Once activated, the automatic
processes of the selected parameters are started. The automation curve is
