Tips on handling virtual instruments
You can realize so-called stack sounds (i.e. sounds that use several
synthesizers and play these in unison) by opening several instruments and
activating monitoring for all channels.
To program beats, you can create and save individual drum maps in the MIDI
editor that match the respective instruments.
If an instrument can limit the amount of voices, then you can use this option to
save CPU power if you do not require the full number of voices.
Some instruments use sound sets according to the "General MIDI" standard.
You can use these instruments for playing back MIDI files according to the GM
standard. Please import the entire MIDI file to a single track including all
channels. Make sure that virtual instruments can also receive program change
commands that are also saved in such a file, so that the correct sounds are
played back.
ReWire
If this option is activated, ReWire-compatible client applications (e.g.
Propellerheads Reason) can be integrated into Samplitude 11.5 Producer as
synthesizers.
Activate ReWire functionality in the program settings ("Y"). Afterwards, installed
ReWire applications can be loaded as instruments into a MIDI slot. All ReWire
client applications appear as individual sections in the selection menu of the
plug-in slot of the track and are loaded as software instruments (VSTi). The
client application should always be launched after Samplitude and should be
closed before exiting Samplitude. Some client applications can be opened
automatically by right clicking on their name in the MIDI slot (red) – just as you
can open the plug-in window for VST instruments by right clicking.
The ReWire application can then be accessed like a software instrument via
MIDI, the audio output signal of the ReWire client can be routed to the
Samplitude 11.5 Producer tracks. The client application runs, starts, and stops
synchronous to the time position of Samplitude.
ReWire supports up to 4096 MIDI buses. A ReWire client only registers the
MIDI buses that are actually available with the host (Samplitude 11.5
Producer). You can therefore select the bus within the track in the MIDI
channel menu (e.g. the receiving instrument for Reason):
