MIDI question

Hi Folks..

I use NI Reaktor 5 with Ableton Live and I have encountered the following problem:

If I create an empty MIDI track, I am able to send incoming MIDI-information to other tracks containing MIDI-instruments. But when I load a VST Synth onto the same MIDI track, this function disappears. And as Reaktor 5 is able to produce and send MIDI-information OUT, I would like to be able to use Reaktor as a MIDI-effect.

But as the MIDI-out function disappears as soon as I've loaded a VST plugin, I don't know how to do this. Any suggestions?

Cheers
Matt

Use Reaktor's options to output data to IAC or Midi Yoke? I don't have Reaktor, so I don't know if you can do this, but that's how I would have programed it to work!

You can use the input choosers for a MIDI track to pull data from anywhere you want. Try exploring in the I/O section of a channel; you can find some complicated stuff.

OK, this has sorted it out for me. It's a bit confusing that I have to chose the midi source and not the destination, but it works. That's what I wanted.

Thanks for your help!
