I’m wondering if there’s any way to use only one instance of vcv rack driven by multiple midi tracks in Ableton. I want to have a more hardware-like approach and use Ableton as a super sequencer.
Please tell me if you know how to do this or any resources that can help
Stick a MIDI track down, put VCV on it.
Create other MIDI tracks in Ableton and send the output of each to the VCV rack plugin on different MIDI channels.
Stick a MIDI-CV module in the rack for each distinct sequenced MIDI and take the V/Oct and gate from each into whatever oscillators and envelopes etc you want to use.
channel 1&2 from VCV can’t be routed to the “external instrument”, they return to the midi track the VCV plugin is in. The 7 other stereo pairs can go to the other channels set up with “external instrument” on seperate midi channels.
Edit: as of 10 March 2024, this no longer works in Ableton Live 12. No “internal” destinations in “External Instrument”.
