Routing of VST instruments using the VSTi manager.
There are many flexible methods for signal routing of instruments.
As described in the previous paragraph, an instrument can be fed from several MIDI tracks,
and the outputs of an instrument can also be sent to several tracks.
Routing instrument outputs
Instrument outputs can be easily routed in the VSTi manager. To do this, open the VST
instrument to view the individual outputs and right-click on the "Output to track".
Now search for the track which should be fed the corresponding individual
output. The assigned output then appears in the plug-in slot of the target
track.
Alternatively, you can also route directly to the track box of the arranger:
To play the output of an already loaded (or installed) instrument on a specific track, right-
click on the record button of the track, go to "Instrument outputs" and select the output
of an instrument available in the project you want to sound on this track by adding a check.
Several outputs of an instrument can also be used simultaneously in one track. You can
even combine the outputs of several different instruments into one track.
Deactivating the instrument outputs works the same way. Remove the instrument output
by removing the check in front of the corresponding output in the "Instrument output"
submenu.
Please note that you can also use the entire routing options of the mix engine. You can
route any track containing the return of any instrument to any bus, AUX bus or master.
Route MIDI instrument inputs
Nearly all software instruments require MIDI data in order to be heard. To route the MIDI
input onto a specific track which contains the MIDI data, click on the VSTi button in the
track editor of the corresponding track and select the instrument from the "Out" slot which
you wish to activate. Already loaded instruments are mentioned in this list.
To open a completely new instance of an instrument which works independently of already
existing instruments within the project, select its name from the "New instrument"
submenu. Multiple instances of the same VST plug-in can be noted from the count (index)
in front of the name of software instruments.
