feature request Insert Soft Synth Options

[IgoRr]

Hi!

I have been using Cakewalk DAWs for many years, and have long dreamed - in the process of adding VST Instrument, to be able to select the exact number of audio output channels from VST Instr.  It would be great to have the same option, which is already there - "Instrument track per output", but something like "Audio tracks per output" with the option to choose the number of channels. For now this option is available only for "Instrument track ..."   At the moment I am condemned to select the option "All synth audio outputs", to have automatic routing of VSTI multi-output, and then eliminate the excess channels. For example, Kontakt creates 64 (!!!) audio tracks, of which 10 to 15 remain.

 

This option could save a lot of time to do a simple operation of adding VST instruments, many users would be really happy I think!

FWIW Kontakt (5) gives you 3 options of 8, 16, or 32 mono tracks via 3 separate VSTi's.

Yes, i know, but i use Kontakt 6.6.1, and I was talking about making the already existing option of selecting a specific number of "Instrument track per output" (screen N1), also for "Synth audio tracks per output" (screen N2), and that it works for any VST instruments.

In the 'Insert Soft Synth Options' pop up window I inadvertently unticked the 'Ask This Every Time' button and can't find out how to reset it.

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA.

This one is rather obscure.

Ask This Every Time
To open the dialog box when the option is unchecked, click the Insert Soft Synth Options button in the Synth Rack view toolbar. (4th button)

Thanks so much. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to do it, not that I've got much hair left.?
