i’m trying to do an export and i have an external instrument feeding my blofeld … when i do the export in realtime , no sound comes from the external instrument it doesn’t even register in the mixer … what am i doing wrong? i’ve never had this problem before … i was going to freeze that track also and a pop up comes up and says the device isn’t connected… the problem is that it is connected and it plays back fine …
so i cant export the EI part and i cant freeze it … any ideas?
I’ve never used external instrument for my Blofeld (or any hardware for that matter). I usually just record the part to an audio track first and then export. That always works if you can’t figure it out 
Are you putting the MIDI out to the external instrument or to the Blofeld?
I would think that the chain should look like this:
MIDI to external instrument
Audio track being fed by the outputs of the Blofeld.
Assumptions:
That the Blofeld is like my Korg Radias-R in that it can use external audio to replace the waveform of the oscillators.
No, the blofeld has no audio inputs. I think he means the Cubase functionality ‘external instrument’.
This feature is only available in Cubase (not Artist or below) (I could be wrong).
It requires that a MIDI device be set up, Audio inputs be bused, and then it’s initialized by adding an instrument track (not an audio track).
(I’ve been reading the manual!!! 
) (Not meant as demeaning, just me being overly excited about reading the Cubase manual at 3 a.m.)
