Pass on MIDI data to inserts on the Instrument channel

[snook]

Would save a lot of time if there was a simple button you could click on an Instrument track that would send the MIDI data to the inserts on the channel… i.e. some plugins like Rift can use MIDI data to trigger envelopes etc… currently the only way is to create a MIDI track and send or route the data to the plugin, which is great for various routing options but when you just want the same MIDI data to goto the inserts of the instrument track you’re working with it takes far too long.

Also, I know it’s been requested before but can we have the MIDI send options on Instrument tracks, again it’s more effort than it needs to be to have to create a MIDI track to send MIDI info if you want to layer synths etc…

For quick use, and simple tasks, or in a composition context, MIDI on instrument tracks is really handy. But in every other context, making a separate MIDI track seems to be the best option. So much so, that It isn’t even a question for me any more. I wire up instruments in what I call a “kit” and I save them as external track archives, and then use those instead. When I want to use a new instrument I haven’t made a “Kit” for, I just copy an existing “Kit” and edit it.

I tried asking for what you are getting at here;

Tracks with MIDI and Audio

As it is, if you want to use a Virtual Amp, or a many other VSTs, you have to rout a MIDI and an Audio track to the track with the VST separately. It would be really nice to have all of this as one track. Under the covers it can be separate track objects, but I really only want to see one track in the view. This way too, you could use midi learn for more than just 8 CCs without having to map them to quick controls. While you are at it, make inserts able to use separate Cores and bypassing inser…

My Groovy Template With Manual The best I could do to get clip-launching and non-linear in Cubase

This is kind of scary. I would rather fumble through a live set, after 2 days of no sleep than share this as far as how much anxiety it is generating. I have this fear that the included example (which contains no music) will be used to create Cheesy Science Fiction based songs. But then again, it might not be so bad. When I was ripping out my own “Kits” I didn’t spend much time making examples so… Cheese away if you must. That said, here is an abstracted version of my primary song writing Te…
