You can assign your MIDI tracks to any VSTi, not only Halion Sonic SE. And if you have more than 4 MIDI channels of HS2SE, I strongly suggest you use another instance of the same VSTi (or a different one), or else you’ll quickly run out of polyphony (don’t know what the limit per instance is, but I’m guessing 128 or so.)
Hi all, this is a topic Im also struggeling with. I use Cubase together with Native Instruments Maschine. I hope anyone out there can be kind and help me with the following problem:
I create a beat in Maschine(drums and various added noises). I work in Maschine because it is perfect ofr my musicstyle and has a great sampler and so on. I say this because I dont want this topic to be focused on why I dont do it in Cubase:) Anyway, I then export my beat from Maschine to Cubase. I do this by creating a VST Instrument in Cubase and have one associated midi-track for each instrument, which means the kicks will have one midi-track, the snares will have another, hat another and so on… My problem is that I cant add effects (reverbs, distortion etc) to these midi tracks. If I try to create audio of these midi-tracks(export audio mixdown), then I can only choose the VST Instrument as a whole, and not the midi-tracks individually.
Do I need one instance(VST Instrument) of Maschine for each instrument? It seems very strange in doing so… That will be many instances since I would like to be able to put independent effects on many of those instruments(kick,snare,hats,toms,perc,etc).
Would very much appreciate some help on this since its preventing me from getting forward.
