HELP! =( Mixcraft does not receive MIDI output from VST

Post by MaiandraGD »

I have Jam Origin MIDI Guitar 2, I loaded it as a plugin on a new audio track (recording my guitar), but I can't send the midi notes to an instrument track, in the plugin GUI says that midi output is ready for the DAW, but in Mixcraft I can't figure out how to make this work. I need something like in this vid at 1:00 minute:

Ableton lets you receive the midi info from the plugin, but in Mixcraft all I have is my midi keyboard, I need it to receive the Midi Guitar 2 plugin midi output.

Can someone help me please?

Forgive my bad english

When you load MIDI Guitar 2 onto a track, are you loading it as an instrument (the keyboard icon with the tool tip "Change instrument ...") or as an effect plugin (the "Fx" icon with the tool tip "Edit Track Effects")? If you can only load MIDI Guitar 2 as an effect and not as an instrument, then you will need to use the workaround described here:

Briefly, you need to route the output of the track to an external MIDI loopback driver (for example, LoopMIDI or LoopBE) and back into Mixcraft on a second instrument track.
