However, even worse, if you try to select a different instrument from the drop-down list at the very top of the VSCO2 screen (the drop-down with the black text on white background) it will almost certainly crash Mixcraft. When you then go inside the VSCO2 editor it may let you choose another instrument from the central editing panel, but it will still tell you in Mixcraft that it is Violin, even though it may play the sound you have chosen. If you don't do this, it always defaults to solo Violin. When you assign VSCO2 Orchestra as a VST instrument, you need to choose which particular sound you want it to play BEFORE you open up the VSCO2 editor eg choose Flute, Violin etc from the drop-down inside the Mixcraft instrument setup screen. Click the Option menu and select MIDI settings.
Add an instance of the MIDI out plug-in to the FL Studio channel rack. (I have Mixcraft 8.1 64 bit Pro Studio but I suspect the same would apply to other versions). Before you begin, you’ll need to make the audio and midi cable connections between your external MIDI instrument and your interface, as described in our FL Studio Quickstart Guide. Now - a heads-up for Mixcraft users (echoing similar comments below). This is absolutely brilliant, and so easy to use.
