You can assign instruments to any endpoint; for example, if you have loaded a plug-in with multiple ports and want to change the endpoint of an existing instrument to an endpoint on one of your new ports. For instruments with independent voice playback enabled, you can assign each voice to a different endpoint.

Prerequisite

  • If you want to assign different voices belonging to the same instrument to different endpoints, you have enabled independent voice playback.

  • If you want to assign instruments to endpoints in specific plug-in instances, you have loaded those plug-in instances. You can do this by applying a suitable playback template or by loading VST/MIDI instruments manually.

Procedure

  1. In Play mode, in the track overview, select the instrument/voice track whose assigned endpoint you want to change.
  2. Optional: If you selected a voice track, choose one of the following options for Edits apply to in the Routing section of the Track Inspector:
    • To change the assigned endpoint for the selected voice in the current flow only, choose This flow.

    • To change the assigned endpoint for the selected voice in all flows, choose All flows.

  3. Optional: To assign the instrument/voice to an endpoint in a different plug-in instance, select that plug-in instance from the audio plug-in menu in the Routing section of the Track Inspector.
  4. Change the endpoint using the following value fields, individually or together:
    • To assign the instrument/voice to a different port in the selected plug-in instance, enter the required port in the Port field.

      Note

      Only necessary when using a plug-in that has multiple ports of 16 channels.

    • To assign the instrument/voice to a different channel in the selected port, enter the required channel in the Ch. field.
