I have downloaded a free VST that requires multiple outputs. I thought that the vst was broken, but I found out that it needs multiple outputs for it to work. However, I haven’t encountered anything like it before. Can Podium Free host these type of Instruments? If this is possible, what tweaks do I need to do? It would be nice if someone can give an answer for this poor beginner. Many thanks. 🙂
Yes, you can run multi-out vst instruments with Podium free. There is a youtube video here that covers the process:
Essentially, when importing a multi out vsti Podium creates mappings for all the outs in a sub-folder. Hit F2 and your list of instruments and fx will be displayed on the left. Locate your multi-out instrument and drag the entire sub-folder onto the track header area of the arrangement page/view. Have a look at the video and hopefully it should become clear.
It’s one of the many things that Podium does so well. Once you’ve set things up to your liking just save as a track template and it’ll be ready to go in a couple of clicks.
