Where to insert vst instruments to a midi track in cubase 11

I’m not used to Cubase 11, but I knew my cubase 5 really well, and things have changed.
When I click on a midi track, after I’ve opened a Kontakt instrument in the VST windows rack, when I click on the midi track on the right hand side of the screen, I cannot work out where to find my vst instrument to insert into the track. Sorry if this is such a basic question. Thanks for some help with this.

Track inspector, MIDI output to VSTi input.

If you don’t see the Left Zone where the track inspector lives, click the show_hide_left_zone
icon near the top right corner of the project window that folds it out.

You don’t insert VST instrument to a MIDI track. There needs to be a separate Instrument Track that contains the VST, then you point the MIDI track to the Instrument track, Alternately/also the instrument track can contain MIDI data.

Hi Brian,

thank you for that. Now I can see what I was looking for.

thank you for taking the time to help me with this and link me to the pages you selected in the online manual.

No problem, here’s a link with more specific information on the MIDI preferences. I edited it in above as well.

Better yet, this one: Import Options

Thanks so much Brian. Very much appreciate your help.

Oh, the preferences thing, I’ve posted to the wrong thread. Oops.

Hi mhazdra,
