Virtual instruments
VST instruments can now be integrated with virtual projects in Samplitude 7 professional. The instrument output signal is fully integrated in the samplitude mixer for subsequent editing with effects.
The VST instruments can be selected from the list of MIDI playing devices. You can then load one VST instrument per track. The instrument can be triggered by all MIDI objects on the track. The MIDI IN signal can be used as a control element with both MIDI recording (right-click on the REC button and select MIDI recording) and ASIO software FX monitoring.
The Editor and/or the GUI (graphic user interface) of the instrument opens automatically when you load the VST instrument.
Once loaded, VST instruments are assigned numbers and added to the device list from where they can also be used by other tracks. If you select such a numbered plug-in, the MIDI data of the track is sent to the loaded plug-in.
If the GUI is poorly designed or robs too much screen space, you have the option of displaying 8 plug-in parameters as slide controls. You can select these parameters from the Listbox.
VST instrument settings can be saved and loaded in either patch (*.fxp) or bank (*.fxb) formats.
VSTi Multiple Outputs
Multiple output VST instruments are supported by Samplitude. Additional tracks for each output can be added as the instrument is loaded.
Every VIP track output can be routed. Several outputs can be routed to one track, and vice versa.
