Help me with playing my VST instrument...

Post by ctajikep » Fri Mar 09, 2007 1:06 pm

Hi, i need to start the Ableton Live as a host, and some VST... for example NI Accoustic Piano... but i can play with my Keyboard only in Rec mode in midi clip. But i need to start the VST and play it (or some synth.. and make patch for exmpl.) what should a do, to start doing this ? I need another program, or i need some right settings in Live ? (yes, i know that Acoustic Piano have standalone prog, but i need it in Live)

Thanks for help, sorry, i'm newbie :)

You should start live, launch the VSTi, then select in on the monitoring on the midi channel, then select the midi controller to control it, and play away.
