You have to go with one or the other. You can choose any combination of VST devices - meaning you could mix Finale GPO with the full GPO, Kontakt, EWQLSO, etc. OR you could mix (as you always could) the soundfont, sound card MIDI out device, etc. One thing I have not personally tested and can not comment on is whether using an external device for MIDI output could work in tandem with VST instruments. I suspect the answer is "no," but I don't know. Tyler __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
