I have a Virus TI desktop that has three analog stereo outs in addition to up to three stereo USB channels exposed as VST outputs. I am trying to squeeze as much use out of the device as possible, and was curious how to utilize the three USB Stereo outputs as if they were 6 mono channels. (The plugin only exposes the USB outs as stereo pairs; there is no mono outs option, like you might find in NI Kontakt.)
In the Virus Control plugin I can force a Virus “part” to use either the L or R channel of a given stereo USB pair, but on the DAW side, I haven’t figured out how to process the two channels separately. How would I apply different effects to the L and R channels when my Cubase considers it a single input? And how would I spread them across the stereo spectrum, so the channels aren’t panned hard L or R?
It’s pretty easy to handle the analog outs (just set them up as single channel input buses), but I don’t know what to do about the USB channels…
