anyways. if I already have the track playing sepreatly and want to bounce it to wav I would go to “export → audio mixdown” and pick “multiple” and pick the option to a import the track to your project when it’s done
so if the instrument just plays the audio but don’t have any midi in the sequencer windows it has nothing to trigger.
So I assume this instruments does it’s processing internally ? and that would be why it won’t render in place unless you put the midi in for it to trigger
