Has anyone been able to set up instacomposer to run correctly on Waveform 13? Is there a way to have a plugin on one channel send 6 separate midi channels out to 6 channel strips each with there own instrument plugins?

Yes, I tested with the demo of Instacomposer 2. You need to right click on the plugin and choose 'wrap this plugin in a new rack plugin' , then CTRL drag this wrapped plugin into 5 other tracks to make copies . Now add whatever plugin you want to use for each channel after the wrapped plugin on the tracks and you will be good to go.

hmmm just noticed that the tracks are all receiving MIDI from each of the 6 tracks in instacomposer. I tried the patch bay plugin to filter out the MIDI channels for each track, but that doesn't work . I think Waveform is not seeing Instacomposer as a multi MIDI out plugin. I'm testing this on Linux ( bridging the windows VST ) which might be part of the problem. Let me know if you can get it working, if not I will let the developers know.

Something looks odd with that image. You have no MIDI input or output on the rack, and the audio output L/R from the plugin is being sent to destination tracks in proper stereo?

I would have expected MIDI out to be fed into either a MIDI patch bay that does selective output to midi outputs based on channel; or to have "n" output MIDI filters each with one channel allowed, and all being fed from the output of InstaComposer's MIDI.

There's a preset called MIDI channel splitter that is a good example of that, where a single MIDI input is send into multiple filters, where each channel has the "complex" MIDI input that is then filtered to ONLY allow one channel through, and fed to a synth. Rather than directly to a synth, you can direct that to the midi output to a number of individual tracks.

Does InstaComposer have built-in MIDI-to-audio so that it outputs both MIDI and audio directly?
