multi audio output from a single plugin to feed multiple sample tracks #2071

Open Reaper10 opened 9 years ago

Reaper10 commented 9 years ago

The idea is to allow a user to set up a multi audio output from a single plugin to feed multiple to better support the Sample Track #1471, if you want to. Ie you can set up the input by using a midi Chanel, by keymap or a plugin's built in mixers outputs. The keymaping is for those plugin have no other way to set the in thtput ie the plugin doesn't have a mixer built in them, or Midi Chanel output. The the keymap is basses on the MIDI mapping using custom key ranges tab #1381 ie the key range the user sets are the only keys to send sound to sample track. When there is a Midi Chanel output you can just set the sample tracks input to the Midi Chanel output. In the case of of a Plugin with a mixer built into it you can use it's outputs to feed a sample tracks input

A list of Plugins with a mixer built in them:

  1. Addictive Drums
  2. session drummer
  3. Kontakt
  4. battery

How to use it:

Using a plugins built in mixer option: First set up the plugins built in mixer outputs then go to the gear menu of the Instrument plugin then click the set multi output option.

If you add output to #2185 it could help with this.
