How to enable an instrument from V-Rack

Post by 7Think8Thought9 »

I have a V-Rack right now with multiple instrument tracks, however when composing i like to only use my sketch instrument track. Now that Im orchestrating though, I need to enable my other instruments, how do i do this when I can only access them from the Mixer Window?

-thanks

Route your MIDI controller to the V-Rack instrument? That is how they are supposed to be used - you keep the recording part (MIDI) separate from the VST instrument part (V-Rack). You can also make an audio recording track that receives from the V-Rack instrument as its input. No recording takes place on the V-Rack side, as I understand it.

Not sure what you are encountering here - a screen shot would be useful.

It sounds like all he wants is to turn on his V-Rack instruments which are currently off.

OP, check your other thread. It's quite easy to do. You're on the right track only enabling them when you actually need them, BTW.
