I had a template for this but something seems to have changed and it no longer works. I was sure all you needed to do was create an instrument track then an audio track and set the input for the audio track to the instrument in the instrument track but when I do that the audio track won't arm unless I turn off record and monitor in the instrument track, but then of course the instrument won't play a note which defeats the whole point. What am I doing wrong?

I figured out what has changed, not good. Looks like the problem is if you have low latency selected you can only live record an instrument track if you set the receiving track to mono. If it is set to stereo, which I had my template setup to do, then it disables the record arm. If I disable low latency mode then I can record live in stereo as normal. Question is, is this a bug or by design? And does this mean low latency mode is actually outputting in mono?

That's a shame if it is so (i haven't tried to record live in S1 3.5 yet). I always liked how easy it is in former S1 versions to record an instrument's output.

Well I guess it's still the same, just that you can't use the low latency option if you are doing so (or put up with mono)

Ok. I'll give it a try later. The low latency option is on by default, isn't it?

I think so but easy to turn on/off (there's a little button for it)

OK it turns out it's not outputting to mono, it's just you can't live record to an audio track when in low latency mode, not sure why but this seems to be either some built in limitation or a bug. The interesting thing is it only seems to be midi in that is being disabled, if I play the instrument using its own gui keyboard (those that have one) it can be recorded but I can't play it with my midi keyboard. So maybe that is a bug?

I've discovered a workaround - if you ignore the midi inputs for the track and set the external midi keyboard as the direct input for the instrument (direct inputs button in the instrument header) itself then it's possible to record into the audio track, the arm doesn't get disabled even in low latency mode
