If you have one or several Instruments selected in the VST Instruments window, (see the chapter “VST Instruments”) a number of VST Instruments channels will appear in the VST Channel Mixers:
• VST Instrument channels appear to the right of the ReWire channels. If you cannot see the VST Instrument channels, you need to select a Mixer View that contains VST Instruments (see page 468).
• The number of VST Instrument channels depends on the selected Instruments. A single-timbral stereo Instrument will have two channels, while a multi-timbral Instrument will have several channels.
• VST Instrument channels have the same functionality as regular audio channels. This means you can set volume and pan, add EQ, Insert and Send Effects and route the channel outputs to Groups or Buses. However, VST Instrument channels have no Input/Monitor buttons and no VST Dynamics.
• The VST Instrument channel settings can be automated just as regular audio channels.
Note however, that the actual VST Instrument parameters have their own automation, as described in the chapter “VST Instruments”.
