Jason, what do you find is the easiest way to output individual pieces of say a drum kit? Are you playing each piece individually? In Addictive drums you can set outputs for each indi piece of the kit, but VO does not see this button so I have created some presets with outs, but not helpful if I use a kit that I've not created outs for. Thanks for your thoughts.
