That's it! Now you can enjoy sequencing multiple tracks to the same VST and send their outputs to individual mix tracks. I'll then route audio out 1 and 2 to the first mix channel, audio out 3 and 4 to the second mix channel, and audio out 5 and 6 to the third mix channel. First expand the CV Programmer of the Bidule VST rack unit.

Now lets flip to the back of the rack and wire things up.

That's all we need for the VST part, now lets add 3 mix channels to the rack.
PLOGUE BIDULE HOW TO
Check your multitimbral VSTi's manual for information on how to configure this specifically. Layer 1 will respond to MIDI channel 1 and output to audio out 1, Layer 2 will respond to channel 2 and send to audio out 2, and Layer 3 will respond to channel 3 and output to audio out 3. I'll double click the LuSH-101 node to open up the VST interface and I'll configure the first three layers. When you're done it should look like this: Next I'll connect the loopback port to the MIDI in on the LuSH-101 by dragging from one node to the other, and then do the same for each of the audio outputs. I'll let you check the Bidule manual for how to get your VST plugins to show up in the palette, and I'll similarly drag an instance of LuSH-101 onto the Bidule surface. I'll find the same loopback port that I assigned to the EMIs and drag it onto the Bidule surface. Now I'll bring up the palette window and expand the MIDI devices and subsequent input nodes. The first thing I'll do here is delete the current routings and the channel mixer but leave the Bidule Plugin_0 nodes. Now let's open the VST interface for Bidule. I'll drag it into the rack while holding shift so we don't get a mix channel, and then I'll right click on the rack unit and delete the associated track that was created as we won't need it. For this example I'll choose the instance with 16 outs. Now, lets add an instance of Bidule to the rack, making sure we pick one of the options with multiple audio outs. For each, choose the same loopback port and increment the EMI's midi channels so they should read channel 1, channel 2, and channel 3 for each of the rack units respectively.

Once you've got the ports in place, we can get into Reason and start wiring things up!įor this example, I'll be wiring up 3 layers of LuSH-101, controlled by 3 separate tracks and output to 3 separate mix channels.Īdd 3 EMI (External MIDI Instruments) to your rack. I've added 5 and labeled them Loop1-Loop5. Double click the icon and add some ports.
PLOGUE BIDULE INSTALL
Install Bidule and your Loopback MIDI solution.įor LoopMIDI you can access the configuration panel from the system tray on the task bar.
PLOGUE BIDULE WINDOWS 10
MIDI Loopback Solution (I'm using LoopMIDI and Windows 10 )Ī Multitimbral VST, I'll be using LuSH-101 to demonstrate Also, I have no affiliation with any of the manufacturers of any of these products, just an user who likes to toy with this kind of stuff.įirst, let's take an inventory of what we'll need for this. I've been searching for a way to do this since VST support was released.ĭisclaimer: I'm a Windows user and am not sure if this works on Mac but I assume it would if Mac has any proper MIDI loopback solutions. Hey guys, this is my first post and hopefully will help at least one person enjoy their multitimbral VSTs in Reason.
