Dorico Pro automatically loads plug-in instances as required, according to the instruments in the project and the current playback template. However, you can also load VST/MIDI instruments manually, either into new plug-in instances or into existing ones to replace existing VST/MIDI instruments.
Prerequisite
-
Any VST instruments you want to use are saved on your computer.
-
You have connected any MIDI devices you want to use.
TipWe recommend plugging MIDI devices into your computer before starting Dorico Pro. Similarly, if your device is not recognized, we recommend restarting Dorico Pro.
Procedure
After Completing This Task
-
You can edit VST instruments, such as by loading sounds into channels.
-
You can assign instruments/voices and expression/percussion maps to endpoints in the VST/MIDI instruments you loaded.
-
You can save your changes to VST instruments and endpoints as custom endpoint configurations for reuse in other projects.
If you loaded a MIDI instrument, we strongly recommend disabling it for MIDI input to avoid feedback loops.
