In order to use my purchased Philharmonik Classic sounds, I have to use Carla Patchbay where I load ‘SampleTank 3’ which of course is a windows VST-host.
Rather than loading a Carla-patchbay and a corresponding SampleTank instance, I’d like to use just one Carla-plugin with one instance of SampleTank, and then use the midi-channels to define which midi-events (what music) goes to what sound.
I am trying to accomplish this by setting up one track w. the Carla-patchbay-plugin and then my idea is to route midi-outputs from other tracks through this track. But no midi is flowing …
I’m not able to figure out where ‘Receiver/midi_out 1 & 2’ are sending events. It’s obvious that they go to my Carla Patchbay - otherwise I wouldn’t hear anything at all. But why are midi-events that are ON the Sender-track used while midi-events that are routed through the Sender track are not - and why can’t I see the carla-patchbay anywhere in the routing scheme?
dang - If I click ‘record’ on the Receiver track, the meter on the track reacts on the midi-events from the Sender-track. I can ‘see’ it playing … but I can’t hear anything. A note on the Receiver-track is sounding fine, but notes from the Sender-track are not sounded, even though they register output on the track-meter. The master-output meter is reacting in accordance with what I hear.
Well - it seems that all I needed to do was to turn on monitoring on the Sender-track - that is -> click the ‘in’ button on the Sender tracks mixer-strip
