Re: Multiple synths - how would you do it

If I have a project that I want to use 2 different synth sounds from, and the synth is not multi-timbral (can only play 1 sound at a time, whereas multi-timbral is where a synth can play multiple sounds on multiple midi channels at the same time), then I simply insert an additional instance of the synth into the synth rack.
So, each instance of FM8, for example, would have a different sound loaded, and would have its own audio track(s).
With regard to the midi, if both sounds are to play the same midi data, clone the midi track and point that midi track to the 2nd instance of FM8, and have the audio track(s) for that instance point to the output audio from that 2nd instance, and then both sets of midi tracks will trigger their own FM8 sound, with one sound coming from each instance of FM8 in the synth rack.
I hope that the above is understandable - I AM on my very first tiny fledgling coffee, so I don't even know if I am typing in English yet. :)
