CHAPTER 13. ROUTING AND I/O 173
Using Impulse's
Individual Outs to
Separately Process
Sample Slots.
We simply create an audio track and select from its Input Type chooser the track with the
Impulse. The Input Channel chooser now offers, in addition to Pre FX, Post FX and Post
Mixer, Impulse's eight individual outputs, labeled according to the sample used in each slot.
Notice that routing an individual output from Impulse into another track automatically takes
this signal out of Impulse's own internal mix. This convenience is not standard behavior of
most plug-in instruments, however. Soloing a track that taps one of Impulse's sample slots
will still allow you to hear the output of that slot.
Using Multi-Timbral Plug-In Instruments
Many plug-in instruments support multi-timbral operation. A multi-timbral instrument is like
several instruments in one, with each component part (or whatever term the manufacturer
uses) receiving MIDI on a separate MIDI channel. Usually, the multi-timbral instrument
offers individual outputs so that the parts can be separately routed into the mixer. Or, the
instrument might offer a submixer of its own.
