Seeking help with recalling presets on instruments rack
Posted: Wed Jan 03, 2024 2:04 am
New Ableton user here, I managed to recall different instruments with the chain function and dummy clips however I am looking for a way to recall presets within a VST without loading it as an additional instrument - Is there a way to do that?
Example:
Instrument rack:
Massive VST
Ableton's Drift Synth
Kontakt Player VST
Clip 1 in session view would load preset X on Massive
Clip 2 would load preset Y on Massive
Clip 3 would load Kontakt preset X
Clip 4 would load Kontakt preset Y
Clip 5 Drift preset X
Clip 6 Drift preset Y
I managed to do that but only when loading additional Massive, Kontakt and Drift to the instrument rack, I figured If I have a long set of 50 scenes, each with a different sound it would be beneficial to load an instrument once and recall the presets rather than load the same VST 10-20 times to the instrument rack.
Is there any way to do that? thank you!!
