Ableton

To properly use a MIDI instrument like Pachinko or Rotator in Ableton Live, you need to set up two tracks:

• On Track 1, load the MIDI instrument (e.g., Pachinko or Rotator).
• On Track 2, load the virtual instrument that will produce the sound (such as Velvet, Massive, Serum, etc.).

Next, configure the MIDI input on Track 2 as follows:

• In the “MIDI From” field, select Track 1.
• In the second dropdown (below “MIDI From”), choose the third option, which corresponds to the name of the VST (Pachinko or Rotator) loaded on Track 1.
• Select In option in Monitor.

With this setup, Track 2 will receive the MIDI notes generated by the instrument on Track 1, allowing the virtual instrument to play the corresponding sound.

FL Studio

To use a MIDI instrument like Pachinko or Rotator in FL Studio, follow these steps:

• Create two instruments in the Channel Rack:
  • One is the MIDI instrument (Pachinko, Rotator, etc.).
  • The other is the virtual instrument that will produce the sound (Velvet, Massive, Serum, etc.).

• On the MIDI instrument, set the MIDI output port to Port 1 (or any port you choose). This is done from the plugin's settings panel (gear icon → second gear tab → Output port).

• On the virtual instrument, set the MIDI input port to Port 1 to receive the MIDI messages. This is done in the plugin’s settings (gear icon → MIDI tab → Input port).

With this setup, the virtual instrument will receive the MIDI notes generated by the MIDI plugin.

Bitwig Studio

• Create two tracks:
  • One track with your MIDI instrument (Pachinko, Rotator, etc.).
  • Another track with the virtual instrument that will generate the sound (Velvet, Massive, Serum, etc.).

• Route the MIDI instrument's output to the virtual instrument:
  • Click on the output section of the MIDI instrument track.
  • In the dropdown menu, choose Notes To Tracks → Tracks → [name of your virtual instrument track].

With this setup, the virtual instrument will play the notes generated by the MIDI plugin.
