DirectWave - Multi Window (VST only)

The Multi Window can be used to load up to 16 separate program banks and control them from 16 MIDI CC channels and or route them to 16 separate outputs for septate FX processing.

Use

Left-clicking on a line - Ch. 1 to 16 in the MULTI window will select the corresponding PROGRAM window, program number.

• Load a program - 1. Open the MULTI window (click on the tab) and select the MIDI Channel (Ch) you want the bank to load in by clicking on the corresponding line. 2. Open the LIBRARY tab and double-click a soundbank to be loaded. The bank will be loaded into the MIDI channel slot selected on the MULTI tab.
• Sequencing & Live playing - Instrumens will respond to notes on the same MIDI channel as their Multi tab channel (Ch.). In FL Studio you can use the note colors to drive the different MIDI channels from a single Piano roll or use several Piano rolls feeding MIDI Out plugins set to the same Input Port number as DirectWave and the MIDI channels of the intended instruments.
