Re: PT12 has less Instrument Tracks?

I believe there may be some miscommunication. Many people here are likely thinking of a different situation - one multi-timbral VI (kontakt with 16 instruments loaded) on a single instrument track, fed by multiple MIDI tracks.

Re: PT12 has less Instrument Tracks?
The thing is, that's not multi-timbral. That's unitimbral. Multi-timbral implies that there are multiple instruments loaded in Kontakt - which does require a separate MIDI track for control of each channel.
So we have two situations - 16 unitimbral instances verses 1 multi-timbral instance. The former requires more processing power and instrument tracks, the latter requires separate MIDI and AUX tracks but only one instrument track. Whichever works better for you is fine, just as long as we're all on the same page about this situation

Re: PT12 has less Instrument Tracks?
Correct me if I'm wrong but you can do that with instrument tracks, can't you? On each instrument track you can give it an input from a plugin, and assign a MIDI channel to it. So Inst1 will have kontakt loaded, that all works fine. Inst2 you assign it's input to Inst1's kontakt plugin, and then change the midi channel to 2 (or whatever, just different to Inst1).

In the first image you can see the input that I've selected, to use the plug from Inst1, and then the second image i've selected the output. All audio goes through each track (1-16) so I can mix them separately within the PT mixer. (The bus is just something I do to group all my tracks, for example 1-16 might all be strings, so i have them going to a strings bus) |

Done. Hopefully Bruce will post here once clarified.

I have the same workflow when using ReWire applications, I think I just got lost on my way through this thread.

Re: PT12 has less Instrument Tracks?
Has anybody ever been able to get 64 VI's going at once in any version of PT much less 128? I would have to see it in person to believe it.....

The actual engine of PT11 is great for VI's except that VI's never got the dual buffer. Really hoping they do that in 12, I guess freeze will suffice if not though. Anyway hopefully this is a typo... |
