Ken Kasriel Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Sorry to ask something so basic, I have not used Sonar for midi in a few years and I've fogotten how to do something. In Track A I have a midi-generating VSTi. It is processing the midi chord file in its lane and outputting some kind of arp pattern as midi. It makes no sound on its own,that output midi has to be played by another VSTi. Let's say I have a VSTi in Track B. How to I sendTrack A's midi output to Track B?

Byron Dickens Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I've done it before but I would have to go back and look to see exactly how I did it. I do remember it was enough of a PITA that I will just write out the whole thing from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mettelus Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 The VST you are sending MIDI from needs to have MIDI output enabled. Once that is done, that should be viewable as an input to any other MIDI track. Here is an old post on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mettelus Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Another quick comment on this since I read the OP title again... there are a handful of VSTis with arpeggiators that only use them internally and will not pass them as an output. I am not sure if the OP is working with one of these though. Some of them with really complex arpeggiators (like Z3TA+2) allow you to drag the arpeggio to a MIDI track as well, which may or may not be an option but would require PRV work afterwards (the arpeggio doesn't follow performance at all doing this). Many internal arpeggiators are fairly rudimentary, so something like Scaler 2 would be another option if the OP is working with one that will not pass arp notes out. Scaler 2 is designed specifically to pass its output and allows for significantly more complex performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mettelus Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Not sure, why when I read the thread title again it made me wonder what the VSTi is (names are always helpful), but also reminded me of the ones which only process arpeggios internally. If the OP is related to one of those guys, it is another ball of wax to deal with. The OP would need to clarify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
