The way I've always done it in Mixcraft is that all of their "Virtual Instrument" tracks are similar to Cakewalk's Simple Instrument tracks in that both the MIDI data and the synth are part of the same track. Nope, no matter what I choose as the MIDI track's output, only one synth at a time makes a sound. I tried creating a Simple Instrument track and putting the other synth I wanted to use in its FX rack. I've tried different combinations of Synth tracks, Simple Instrument tracks, MIDI channel assignments, examined the Synth Rack, still, nada. Some equivalent to the hardware synth "thru." My MIDI track seems to allow only a single output, and I can't see any way to "stack" or daisy chain soft synths. I have a recorded-in-real time MIDI track that I want use to drive 2 different soft synths. Playing multiple instruments from a single source is something MIDI has been able to do for 37 years, so there must be nothing to stacking 'em up inside Cakewalk. It’s a LOT easier to copy/paste this separate MIDI file than open up the Synth 1 Midi channel and manually copy the automation curves into Synth 2’s track.This is such a basic thing that I must have just missed it in the documentation. I don’t have to do ANYTHING but copy both MIDI notes 4 bar loop and Midi Automation 4 bar loop to Synth 2 and I have an exact duplication of the filter automation I did without having to manually write it out… Now let’s say I want to add a 2nd to a 2nd synth, Synth 2… I can easily chop this automation and spread it throughout the 40 bar loop … and … I don’t have to manually write this 4 bar filter automation throughout the 40 bar loops. Then I find a great filter cutoff sequence I did over a certain 4 bar section of the 40 bar loop. So all it records are my automation changes played in real time. But this time when I play the 40 bar loop, I only play with the Filter cutoff through it. Then I Create my Automation Midi track which again outputs to Synth 1 Midi channel. Then I copy this 4 bar MIDI track 10 times and now I have a 40 bar loop. Let’s say I’ve got Synth 1 doing a 4 bar melody. The advantage of having automation on a separate track… let me give you an example: Otherwise you could opt for two Instances of Omnisphere …ĭunno, I use a lot of multi-routing VSTis, incl KONTACT, MASCHINE and HALION, and haven’t experienced such difficulties, although I don’t automate in separate tracks.ītw: what’s the advantage? being able to swap notes more easily without getting concerned about the automation info? Is this only occurring in channel 4 towards 2? or are there also other channels interfering?ĭoes this also happen when you restrict usage of only 4 routings of the VSTi? The problem is that I’m automating the Arpeggiator’s Note Length and apparently it’s set to CC74, same as the instrument’s Filter Cutoff… I think this might be the problem.ĭoes anyone know what CC # that Arpeggiator note length comes under for sure? I checked the Omnisphere manual and it doesn’t say. I made sure that each Midi Track was set to the specific Midi channel outputĮx: for Omni B – my Midi Channel must be set to 2 (not Any). I noticed a MIDI track on channel 4 / Omni D at the beginning of the track – it was one of the recorded takes of automation I’ve done this many many times with Omnisphere and other VST’s that have multiple instances within the same VST instance and it’s never happened before. Have you tried adding a second instrument in Devices/VST Instruments? The Automation controls the entire instrument. Please help if you have experienced anything remotely like this… maybe it’s some obscure Midi setting i’m not gettingīoth your MIDI tracks are routed to the same Instrument. I’ve done this many times but it’s never happened like this. I want independent Automation channels for each Omnisphere instance. I am losing my mind I have no idea how to fix it. Even though I’ve programmed automation for Omni D, the Omni B Automation channel control overrides the Omni D automation The 4th instance we call Omni Dįor some reason Omni B Automation Channel controls Omni D’s automation. The Second Omnisphere instance we call Omni B. Instances where I am doing automation of the synths… I have a MIDI Channel that just controls the automation. I am using one Omnisphere VST with 8 instances routed as separate mixer channels via VST Instruments RoutingĮach Omnisphere synth instance is controlled by a separate MIDI Channel But this has been happening only on this one track that i’ve been working on since Version 7.0
