Dear Bluecat.
I'm asking this cos I can never get 'serial' and 'parallel' sorted out in what passes for my brane!
So pretend I've got 16 instances of LABS - their plugin's monotimbral which bugs the heck outta me. Can I put them all in ONE instance of Patchwork, put Patchwork's single instance onto ONE channel and route the 16 sounds to 16 separate channels (Be nice if I'm using 'channel' wrongly, I'm not good at techie terms. I mean outputs, so I can put notes to each of the individual sounds individually, not have them all playing a solid chord of all the sounds at once, on one note.)
Example of what I'm trying to ask is the Korg M1 Emulator. Can load up ONE instance of it, put - say - 8 sounds into each of its 8 slots and have 1 sound going to each of 8 outputs, so I don't need to have 8 instances of the Korg M1 going to get 8 sounds. Is that what the Bluecat Patchwork makes possible, only with a mixture of monotimbral VSTs (WHY do they make them all mono-ruddy-timbral? Even most of the Maizeplayer ones are monotimbral - but they come up SHOWING 16 slots, you just can't ACCESS 15 of them!!)
I'm asking cos I'm using a 32-bit disability DAW which never got updated and this would be a godsend if it does the above (bet I got it wrong!)
Yours feeling-stupidly
Chris.
Idiotic question re. Bluecat Patchwork cos can't sort techie terms out ever!!

In your case I guess you just want to select the appropriate I/O for each instance of the virtual instrument so that it gets to the right audio output channel in Patchwork. Since you are using different channels for each instance, it does not matter much if they are in series or parallel (except that you can use multicore processing only in parallel chains).
