No :-)

I can send MIDI to other channels, but when I select other channels on my drum kit it sounds like crap and I can't play the drum kit "direct" because whatever I'm playing makes no sense. What I am playing comes out of the drum kit, not the interface / VST.

What VSTi are you using?

Some freebee called DVS-DrumSampler.

I use Addictive drums, and have tracked a Roland TD-8 several times with it. Addictive drums allows you to route each kit piece to individual tracks - also known as a "multi-out" vsti.

And that's exactly what I am looking for. I had promised myself to not buy a real drum VST before I had understood what I was doing and tried using what I had. I wanted to try using a freebee to then EQ/compress each instrument for educational purposes.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but would it be preferable for you to keep all of the midi data on a single track, but have the audio sent to individual tracks (where you eq, compress, etc)? That seems to be a pretty standard way of working with drum VSTi's.

I'd love to do that.

I am at the point where I have all my MIDI data to one track. How do I send each sound (if not each MIDI note) to a different track?

Nevertheless, you could:
1. duplicate the entire midi track to each kit piece track and delete the notes that don't apply;

A bit too manual for me. Although I could, for each track/instrument, only load a sound for that particular note. Meeeh :-)

2. create sends from the master midi track to each of the other tracks, and use the JS:IX/MIDI_Tool II to filter out the unwanted notes on each track; or,

That, I like. I'll try it.

3. Well,there are probably several ways, but again, I kind of hope you choose to do it differently.

How would I? :-)

Thank you so much for taking the time.
