Mac or PC?

Look at Devices > VST Instrument Rack. If you open a VST Instrument there
you can send the midi data from different tracks in Cubase to different instruments
in Halion. And there’s a small arrow which points down in the rack right to the instrument where
you can add new audio outputs for the instruments.

This video describes it very well. Have a look at 4:55:

You can do the same thing with the different instruments of halion which makes it a little easier.
And well, for my case more VST Instrument instances mean less CPU Power.

Best regards.

Thanks for explaining. If it may mean less CPU drain then well worth a try. Cheers

If you’re gonna go the Mac route, I’d say get a Mac Pro not an iMac. iMacs are very beautiful and sleek, but their all-in-one design is somewhat conducive to overheating. If you were gonna use an iMac for less CPU-intensive tasks, it would be fine. But if you’re running Cubase with lots of VIs and samples, it might have a somewhat shorter lifespan than a comparable PC tower.

Much appreciated

Get what makes you more productive. Personally, I’m more used to a PC and am fine with building my own and setting it up.

Make the computer become as invisible as possible. It stands between you and the music. It’s a little bit different answer for everyone.
