[Cubase] Multichannels (Help)

[Peege]

Hi all,

I am having trouble with the multichannel feature in Cubase Essentials 4…

So in the EZdrummer plug-in I select different tracks for bass, snare so on and what not,
but in cubase it only plays whats in channel one. I can’t find anywhere on the instrument track where it would let me select a different channel.

Am I being stupid? I am new to both Cubase and EZdrummer, but I was thinking this could be a limitation of Essentials? No idea…

Thanks,

Peege

First, you need to check the Cubase Essential 4 manual Chapter 12 ‘VST Instruments and Instrument tracks’. Specifically ‘The VST Instruments window’ section page 121-122. This will setup Cubase for multi output channels for the VST instrument (in this case EZDrummer).

“The rightmost button allows you to activate the desired output for the instrument. This is useful when you are using VST Instruments that have a large number of audio busses, which may be confusing. Click entries in the pop-up list to activate/deactivate output busses for this instrument.”

Then you need to open the EZDrummer manual, which can be accessed via the ‘?’ in the top right hand corner of the EZD GUI. Go to Chapter 4, ‘4.1 Advanced Routing’ (page 14) and follow the step by step instructions on how to set up multichannel in EZD.

Ok, took a little messing around but I got it.

I didn’t see the “rightmost button” and also i kept accidentally opening new instances of EZD.  Well, I sure am a Noob!

I was also wondering how to do this, so will give it a try – thanks.
