VST sanity checks... |
 |
Howdy, newbie stuff again. I read Inge's tutorial on how to incorporate VST plugins into MT, and it was very useful.
I wanted to double-check with one thing to be sure I understood it correctly, and that's the whole 'multitimbrality' thing. A VST has to be written to support this, correct? And it's usually denoted when you see a "channel" selection on the VST interface? If that's not there, then there's no other way to have different outputs of a VST instrument w/o loading it multiple times, correct? Just want to make sure I've got this right, I think I might actually be starting to understand it... hehe (although a fair number of them don't seem to be working correctly...) |

Qaantar: correct. You might actually consider multitimbrality as loading a plugin multiple times, but then only its underlaying engine (and not the whole skin and bells and whistles and so on). You need to check the manual or website of the author if it is multitimbral, since you can't see it from the VST interface. MT always allows channel selection, whether is has multiple channels or not.
Yannick: isn't there a way to make MT determine if a plugin is multitimbral, and disable channel selection if this isn't the case? |

No. (Unless I'm missing something in the VST2 specs.)
