Hey everyone,
I have read the manuals and bunch of forums and other documentation but there is one question I still have not been able to answer for myself....the sad thing is I am sure it is really simple! So I will swallow my pride and ask
I have a older midi controller keyboard (Roland PC-200 mkII) and all I am trying to do is control multiple virtual instruments without having to move over to my PC.
I thought it would be as simple as this:
1. Assign my different VSTi's to different midi tracks (ie. track1 output = drum VSTi, track2 output = organ VSTi, etc, etc and midi in on all tracks being the port my controller is hooked up to)
2. Ensure that each track has a unique midi channel
3. Using my keyboard controller simply change channels to control the different VSTi's
However this isn't working for me. I am pretty sure my individual tracks are setup correctly because if I setup any individual midi track and record enable it I control the instrument with no problem.
Can someone offer some advice on this. I am sure I am just missing something really basic - which is why it doesn;t seem to be documented too often in these terms.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
jk
