Multitimbral VST

RC 4.0 4 ways loads a new instance of a VST when you add a track regardless of the multitimbral setting. I have tried direct editing of the .RCinst files without success. Am I doing something wrong?

When you change the setting for multitimbral, be sure and close RC and restart (RC). Just checked mine, and it works like it is supposed to..

That is Settings -> VSTi tab and the circle check below the VST you are using..

When unchecked, it will create a new instance every time.. when checked, you should see a choice to create a new instance, or use the existing instance that is already created, when you use the VST drop down for the track.

Also, I had this issue once before as well, and this is a link to the fix.. it is the last entry of the post..

First make sure the "Multitimbral plug-in" setting is checked (this replaces editing the rcINST file )



There is one small bug here, because the plug-in does not become multi-timbral immediately, you need to restart the program.

If you use the plug-in for a track, the instrument menu will allow you to use an existing instance or a new one. In this example 2 tracks are using their own instance, so you can use one of those for a third track, or load a new instance:



Please let me know if there is a plug-in which does not work well as a multi-timbral plug-in.

Thanks,

I was also going to suggest to remove the vst from the list, restart RC, then re-add the VST. (rather than edit the inst file)

Thanks kindly for the responses. Very much appreciated. Who'd a thought: "Turn it off and turn it back on again!" Again, now working and thanks so much.
