• ASIO drivers ("Options menu -> System/Options -> Audio setup -> Driver system")
• Activate global record monitoring in the transport control ("Moni" button)
• Activate the monitoring button for the track (loudspeaker symbol)
• Software monitoring or mixer monitoring ("Options menu -> System/Global audio
options -> Audio setup -> Monitoring settings")
Tip: You can also select monitoring mode by right clicking "Record monitoring" on the
transport control.
Latency: Please note that a system-dependent delay between pressing the key and
hearing the sound occurs when you play virtual software instruments. This so-called
"latency" time is mainly determined by the buffer size which is set for the ASIO drivers. To
play in an acceptable manner, we recommend a buffer size of max. 1024 samples. This
corresponds with 23ms at 44.1 kHz. For many users, however, a latency of 3ms (i.e. 128
samples) is optimum. Please note that the CPU load also increases at a lower buffer size.
The "live" delay only occurs when an instrument is played, playback latency of an already
recorded MIDI track over a virtual instrument is automatically compensated by Samplitude.
Since software instruments are fully integrated into the program's audio engine, the signals
can be routed, mixed, and equipped with plug-ins any way you like. Limitations apply
depending on the monitoring settings selected when inputting VST instruments.
Hint: Please note that monitoring effects during input requires that "Track FX monitoring"
mode or "Mixer FX monitoring/Hybrid Engine" be activated.
Recording and playing back an instrument
An instrument is recorded in much the same way as a normal MIDI track. Make sure that
the MIDI recording is active in the desired track and then press the record button in the
transport control. The recording begins immediately.
When playing back already recorded MIDI tracks, track monitoring should be switched
off.
To be able to record MIDI data sent by a VST instrument in another track, activate the
"MIDI OUT" function in the plug-in panel menu for the respective track VST plug-in or VSTi.
This sends MIDI data from the VSTi.
By activating the option "VST MIDI OUT recording" on a track, you can record all VSTi
MIDI OUT data that is received in the corresponding track. Right click on "REC" in the track
editor and set a check next to the corresponding context menu item.
Now you can record VSTi audio output for VSTi return tracks by activating recording in
these tracks.
If "MIDI Thru" is activated, this signal can also be routed to another VSTi/VST-FX or
external MIDI device.
