Routing MIDI playback from one virtual instrument to another in DP 11

Post by ericshans »

Hi all.,

Been a DP user for almost 20 years ...but...for some reason I cannot figure out how to route a MIDI instrument to another - am using DP 11. I wanted to try Instachord for the heck of it so basically it's an instrument track which would route its MIDI playback to another virtual instrument. It seems I cannot change the input on Instrument 2 to receive that MIDI as it just says "any" and there's no other option. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Turn multi-record on and you should see it as a MIDI input.

Thanks, that doesn't seem to work. See screenshot.

My experience is that the VI has to be a VST version for this to work.
