Hello
Having a huge workflow problem with multichannel vsti’s such as Kontakt or Superior Drummer
I route my channels as usual but when it comes to mixing, selecting different outputs does not change the channel on the channel panel on the left, it always shows the first channel.
I can’t access my volume and inserts on the left panel anymore so I’m forced to go into the mixer window which is super frustrating.
it was working as intended in Cubase 12
Sorry, what was the point in changing that?
I can’t access the inserts so I have to open mixer back and forth every time I need to add processing to a certain channel, it’s extremely annoying
(especially after it was working perfectly up until now)
if I want to add a plugin or change levels, the quickest way was to select an output and do all that in the left panel, whats the point of it staying on channel one all the time? makes no sense
if its possible to add request changing that back to how it was before, please do so
Hi kavinsky,
selecting a specific return channel of a multi-out instrument in the tracklist should show the content of that channel in both the track inspector and channel tab. This will be fixed with the next maintenance release.
Best regards
Meanwhile, and as a workaround, use Kontakt and/or Superior Drummer as instrument racks : both the Inspector and Channel panes will be updated accordingly to your channel selection, this way.
Actually, I still don’t use any instrument track when a multi-outputs VSTi/External instrument is involved…
It’s the age old conundrum: Use Rack Instruments and have Return channels that makes sense or use Track Instruments and enjoy the benefits of import/export.
@Martin.Jirsak No, we’re talking about audio channels, not automation lanes.
oh I’m so used to instrument tracks by now. having modular setup so I can quickly import my custom instruments from progect to project, getting back to racks wouldn’t work for me personally
There is no Audio Channel for the Instrument Track. I believe you are talking about the Audio Return Chanel, which is represented as an Automation track in the Project window.
this is actually helpful as a workaround until they implement left panel to do the same. the inserts and fader are off by default but switching them on did the trick.
EDIT - I was wrong - the fader in the inspector doesn’t follow the output selection. the fader always shows channel 1 only just as in the far left channel tab
at least the inspector shows different inserts, that should get me through to the maintenance update
Happy to hear that this will be fixed in an upcoming update.
The work around for now, albeit requiring an additional click for each and every multi timbral output, is to click the “Select Multiout Return channel” icon in the upper right hand corner of the left pane window. …again, for every single output.
