How to record MIDI events generated by a VSTi?

[BearDenBob]

Ok, I admit to be a little dense when it comes to understanding MIDI inputs and outputs in Cubase SX2, but here's my question:

Suppose I'm using LM-7 as a VSTi. Is it possible to use the drum pads on its GUI to record a MIDI track? More generally, for those VSTi's that have some sort of triggering device built into their GUI, be it virtual keyboard or drum pads, can I record MIDI events when I trigger them? It seems as if I should be able to do this, because the VSTi's show up as input sources for MIDI...

TIA,
Bob

I don't believe this is possible. I just tried it out and it didn't work. I think Cubase will only record MIDI data from the device specified in the Device Setup (All MIDI Inputs).

Yeah, FL Studio is really that great

Actually FLStudio can do this if the plug outputs MIDI - just point it to another plug and record.
