Assigning instruments/voices to endpoints

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. Expand the instrument track whose assigned endpoint you want to change.
  2. Optional: For instruments with independent voice playback enabled, select the voice whose assigned endpoint you want to change from the Voice menu.
  3. Optional: Change the flows to which you want your changes to apply in one of the following ways:
    • To change the assigned endpoint for the selected voice in the current flow only, click Set for This Flow.

    • To change the assigned endpoint for the selected voice in all flows, click Set for All Flows.

      Note

      This affects all voices in the same position in the Voices menu rather than by voice type.

  4. Optional: To assign the instrument/voice to an endpoint in a different plug-in instance, select that plug-in instance from the menu in their track header.
  5. In the instrument track header, select a new option from one or both of the following menus:
    • Port

    • Ch.

Result

The endpoint to which the instrument/voice is assigned is changed.

  • Changing just the Ch. value changes the channel in the plug-in instance that the corresponding instrument uses.

  • Changing both the Port and Ch. values changes both the port in the plug-in instance, and the channel in that port, that the corresponding instrument uses.
