Please Help: All Softsynths being Triggered -ACID Product Family

Subject:Please Help: All Softsynths being Triggered Posted by: AcidProSteve Date:3/14/2013 7:31:12 PM Been using Acid Pro 7 for years. Just started using Massive and Kontakt with it. I'm using separate instances for each track and have selected all different midi channels. Still, all synths are being triggered for one or more tracks! I would appreciate any reply, thank you.

Make sure each track is routed to each VSTi properly. By default, different instances of the same VSTi are labled the same in the Mixing Console (at the bottom). You can re-label these by double-clicking them and typing in a new title. You can then easily distinguish which VSTi is which when you go to route the MIDI track to that specific VSTi by clicking the MIDI output button in the track listing. HTH
Subject:RE: Please Help: All Softsynths being Triggered Reply by: AcidProSteve Date:3/15/2013 3:45:43 PM Thank you! Took your advice and labeled them. But I think had everything correct in MIDI output. Until just now, I did not notice the button to the left of that (MIDI input)! All tracks were set to Auto Input. Would that have screwed up my playback? I set Input to the correct channels and its working fine so far...

But now I can't play real-time on midi keyboard on those tracks. but the virtual keyboard does work and trigger the right sounds. ugh, I'll post more specifics later.
