Good day, how can I quickly add layers or sounds from the Media Bay to a MIDI track? The layers don’t exist in the layers section and I only want and need them in the tracks section. [image] Thanks for your help!

Hi! Layers are layers, so they can be found in LAYERS section. However you can connect any MIDI track to a LAYER :slight_smile: In VL the MIDI tracks are working the same clean as a MIDI track usually in any a DAW. They are reallly “just MIDI tracks”.

You talking about an instrument track in Cubase, that translates to a midi track connected to a layer (global or song layer) in VST live! Cheers!

I just want to be able to quickly load an instrument that has already been saved. So far I don’t know how to do this for MIDI tracks. I don’t see any of my saved layers or sounds here, nor can I quickly drag one to the output device… [image]

Hello @UdoBehm only Layers have the option to load “Shared” Layer Instruments. MIDI Tracks cannot share instruments. It’s on our future-list. See you, Michael.

I just see that I could use presets for quickly recalling instruments… However I don’t find where on the hard drive the presets are being saved and how I could delete them too… Could you tell me?

The menu you showed is the list of installed VST’s. If you want a VST with settings already for Piano+Strings then create your layer and save it in the media bay. Then drag it out of the media bay to a song. Note that media bay can be saved locally (i.e with the project) or globally (available to ev…

I’m talking about presets: [image] …and these I seem to be able to load and save… when I then go to the tracks, add a MIDI track, select Komplete Kontrol on the output device and open it I then can quickly select from my saved presets out of the list on the top as well. According to the manual (…

“Including the plugin” - I think that’s an interpretation/translation issue. I am unclear as to which presets you are referring to - VSTLs or Komplete Kontrol? Your screens imply Komplete in which case the preset locations are documented in the manual.

I’ve just saved a test layer with Kontakt in - 542kb - there’s no way that contains the Kontakt plugin. QED
