Single MIDI source for multiple VSTi's

Hello, is there an efficient way to set up one MIDI source track for multiple soft synth/VSTi tracks? This seems very simple, I'm just struggling with how to do it. I want to do this for layering, and want to have only MIDI track that I have to mess with in PRV.

Thank you,

Todd

No it is not supported.

You can copy the MIDI and paste it to new tracks and those you can route to new VSTis.

For MIDI playback (not for live play):
"Copy" - "Paste Special" - tick "Link to Orignal Clip(s)"

The pasted MIDI track(s) will then be identical with the original clip, and edits are automatically applied to all copies.

Thanks all. I've done the copy/paste special/link to original before. I was hoping there was a cleaner way to do this. Oh well, I'll keep on doing it that way.

I could swear that when I first went through the Sonar manual back when I bought X1, it demonstrated a way to do this. Perhaps in one of the tutorials near the beginning. Maybe I dreamed it?

I believe you can "play" multiple synths in real-time by enabling their Input Echo buttons... maybe this is what you had read?

Ah, perhaps that was it yes. I remember following some instructions and playing layered sounds, even if I didn't fully understand what was going on at the time.

Thanks sharke and stevec. I was familiar with that, too.

It would seem that a trk could output midi info it has recorded on it to a assigned midi channel, at the very least.

But because of internal routings it can't be done. Maybe I'm just over simplifying it and thinking it should be easy.
