    I am trying to get two instances of vemberaudio surge VST on 2 separate tracks. For some reason surge shows up as a folder in the Map section, not an instrument. In the folder are 4 instruments labeled:

    Surge (#1)
    Surge (#1) (01)
    Surge (#1) (02)
    Surge (#1) (03)

    What does this mean?

    If I assign Surge (#1) to a track, then assign it to my second track I keep getting the error “The mapping is active on a previous track” both tracks are sharing the same instance. This happens even if I use Surge (#1) on one track & Surge (#1) (01) on the other – I still have just 1 instance shared by both tracks apparently.

    I can assign multiple instances of a regular VST to different tracks, but not to surge for some reason – again the key difference from other VST’s is that surge shows up as a weird folder.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Surge (#1)
    Surge (#1) (01)
    Surge (#1) (02)
    Surge (#1) (03)

    What does this mean?

    This means that Surge is imported as a global plugin with multiple mappings for one instance. The (#1) refers to the instance number and the (01) (02) … refers to MIDI channel number.

    If you want to use more instances, go to the device list on the project start page, and use the “new instance” context menu on the surge folder. This should give you a new set of mappings named with (#2). If you are not using the multitimbral functionality of Surge, you can use the “new insert mapping” context menu. This will give you a mapping that you can place on any number of tracks.
