Append per-output Instrument tracks

When you insert a multi-timbral soft synth, you can specify how many Instrument output tracks to create, up to the maximum supported by the synth.

Figure 36. The Insert Soft Synth Options dialog box.

If you do not initially create the maximum number of available output tracks, you can later add additional tracks on demand from the Synth Rack view. To do so, do one of the following:

Right-click the instrument in the Synth Rack (Views > Synth Rack View) and select Append Instrument Track.

Right-click the instrument track strip in the Track view and select Append Instrument Track.

 

Note: If you originally created used per-output Instrument tracks for that synth, then Cakewalk will create another per-output instrument track. If originally created split instrument tracks, then Cakewalk will create another split instrument track.

Add Track menu behavior change

The behavior of the Track(s) counter has changed when inserting a multi-timbral soft synth via the Add Track menu. When Instrument Track Per Output or Split Instrument Track is selected, the Track(s) counter now specifies how many Instrument output tracks to create instead of how many unique instances of the synth to create.
