Link Instrument
For instrument tracks. Play your own synth inside it, and False Audio can work on both.
Link Instrument goes in the instrument slot of a MIDI track. Inside it, you load your own synth or sampler. Your MIDI plays it as usual, and you get everything a Link has on top.
Why use it
- False Audio can hear your instrument and help with its sound.
- It can tweak the instrument itself. "Make the synth darker" might turn down your synth's own filter.
- Notes controls built in: transpose, velocity and quantise on the Notes tab. Your clips aren't changed.
Step by step: Use your own plugins.
Good to know
- Bypassing it silences the track, because your instrument is inside it.
- Requests don't change your notes. The Notes tab is yours to set.
- Opened the project on a Mac without your synth? The slot shows Not available here and keeps its settings.
Link MIDI
Prefer a separate MIDI effect? Link MIDI has the same Notes controls and goes before any instrument. Ableton Live can't load it, so use the Notes tab there.
