Okay I need some help. Im kinda new to ableton.

Is it possible to create a midi track that has one VST instrument as the input(for crontrolling) and an other as the output(for sound).

Hope someone can help! =)

Cheers!

ah never mind, I got it.

There was a small button in arrangement mode that said I-O. That made the input/output come out.

Okay still not working..

I can choose to control my VST with computer keyboard, but I can't control it with the other VST. The other VST is only made to control a second one, not make sound it self.

Anyone know how to link these together'?

In the session view send the midi from the track the keyboard vst is on to the track the other (audio) vst is on. Then set that track to receive midi from the keyboard vst track, and record arm both tracks. Then play the keyboard vst ...

Thanks, that is also how Ive been trying. However it doesnt seem to work. I dont get any midi signal from the keyboard VST.

I got this working in FL Studio before I changed DAW, very easy. Grrr...

Live 7 here...

Not sure you can send midi from the VSTi track... but you can from a blank midi track (just duplicate the midi).

Here is Reaktor FX on the audio track and the midi track sending midi to it:

It's easy in Live too. You must be doing something wrong. What midi-keyboard vst are you using, and which synth are you sending to? Have you set up as suggested by mckenic?

I got it working.

My mistake was:

In the sound making VST I only selected midi type and forgot to set midi channel. They both had to be set to the controlling VST.

Thanks for the help guys! =)
