Midi routing

Date: February 1, 2006 @ 2:57 PM

Hello there. I`m slighlty new with FL 5 and quite lost at using the MIDI capabilities. I import a MIDI file, and it displays correctly on different MIDI channels, one for each instrument. I managed to assign them(in the MIDI settings window) to the basic General Midi setup, which plays successfully. Now, since I`m using an M audio delta 1010 which supports VSti, I`d like to route the MIDI tracks into some VSti instruments. More or less expectably, they dont show in the output port mapping, althogh I can open a dedicated chanel for all my VSti instruments. Secondly, and here I think I`m missing FL`s essence, I don`t find a way to route any channel into any other. So if I do open a VSt channel and throw a few notes in it, and then I fancy changing the instrument (say Artist drums for groove agent), I have to completely delete the first channel (or disable it), coping the contect from the piano roll and pasting it onto the new instrumet`s window I want to try, and repeat the procedure until I strike the one I like. It seems very unorthodox, or I`m just not getting the point of FL???? Would much appreciate a hand on this topic which is stopping me from giving the world some music!! Many thanks!

Your first problem may be with the delta 1010. Though i cant help you with it, google searches for problems with the delta 1010 may be more helpful than FL problems - just a guess...

As for new sounds to each track, you can simply drag and drop a new preset to the channel instead of assigning the sound to a new channel then copying.

Hope this helped!
