(Aux tracks always default to faders down)<\/p>\n<p>3. Launch the softsynth plugin of choice. (In the Mix window, top 5 buttons are plugins, click on one)<\/p>\n<p>4. If required by your soft synth, select a patch\/instrument. (some like Sampletank do not come with a default patch, you must select one. Others, like Reason, have presets for all the modules)<\/p>\n<p>5. On the MIDI 1 track, make sure the input says All (will respond to any incoming MIDI signal from any port, any channel) (input is the 3rd button above auto read)<\/p>\n<p>6. On the MIDI 1 track, select the output as channel 1 of your softsynth, which should be listed as an output. (e.g. Sampletank ch1 &#8211; 16, or Reason and its various modules) (output is the button directly above auto read)<\/p>\n<p>7. Record-enable your MIDI track. (press the red R button) Your softsynth should respond to incoming MIDI messages from your keyboard.<\/p>\n<p>* Please note that Aux Inputs WILL mix down in real-time during a bouncedown, so in most cases, you do not need to make the soft synth into an actual audio track, this will happen automatically when bouncing down.<\/p>\n<p>* You can use multiple MIDI tracks on the same Aux track soft synth- you can send any number of MIDI tracks to one or more MIDI channels within that soft synth.<\/p>\n<p>* The output of the synth will come out your Digidesign interface.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[35531,35724,35165],"storecat":[],"itemids":[20943,25447,24674,20948,20944,11870],"manufacturers":[33441,33300,33298,33151],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check out the How do I add a rewire soft synth to my Digidesign Pro Tools?
