After having loaded an Instrument from the library you should be able to trig-
ger it via MIDI using a keyboard controller. B4 II’s sound will generate through
the VST mixer and directly to your sound card. If the plug-in does not receive
MIDI or generate audio, then make sure to check the following areas:
• Make sure "MIDI thru" is enabled in Cubase.
• The MIDI channel of your MIDI track must correspond to the receive
channel of the loaded instrument.
• Make sure that you have properly configured your sound card for use
with Cubase.
(please refer to your Cubase manual for more information)
Using B4 II in Nuendo 3
• Launch an empty or current project in Nuendo.
• Click on the Devices menu and choose VST instruments from the
menu options (or press F11 on your keyboard).
• A window showing the instrument rack appears. Click on an empty slot
and choose B4 II VST from the available list of installed plug-ins.
• The plug-in will now appear in your list and automatically be turned on.
It will also create a set of audio channels in your VST mixer that will be
used for mixdown within your project. This will allow you to mix, pan,
and process B4 II's output just like any other existing audio track in
your Nuendo project.
• Click on the Edit button to call up the B4 II interface. Here you can
control and edit all the features and functions that B4 II has to offer.
• Now go to the "Project Editor" page and create a MIDI track (if you do
not have one already created).
• Go to the Output parameter section for this MIDI Track and click on
the field. This will create a list of available MIDI out ports to assign to
this MIDI track. Choose B4 II VST from the list. Also make sure you
assign the MIDI input port to correspond to whatever MIDI controller
your are using.
