The PlugSE is designed to serve as a bridge between the host and the synthesizer and in principle the TRIGON-6 should be connected directly to the PlugSE via MIDI. By default, most of the VST hosts are set to grab all MIDI ports on startup and this may create a connection problem for PlugSE users.

If you are using a Windows PC many MIDI interfaces including TRIGON-6 USB MIDI are not multi-client - this means that ports can be opened and used only by one application at a time. It also means that in practice, after you start the host application the host may first access and open MIDI ports that your synthesizer is connected to and prevent the PlugSE from accessing the same ports later on.

• Start Cubase session.
• Go to Cubase Studio Setup/MIDI and set both  TRIGON-6 USB MIDI IN and USB MIDI OUT to Inactive.
• Run TRIGON-6 PlugSE Instrument type plug-in.
• Go to PlugSE MIDI Setup and select  TRIGON-6 USB in and out. At this point you should have it ON-LINE.
• In Cubase, select MIDI track and configure  TRIGON-6 PlugSE for track's input (if you using TRIGON-6 keyboard to play notes) and output.
• Go to PlugSE MIDI Setup and select TRIGON-6 USB in and out. At this point you should have it ON-LINE.

USING TRIGON-6 PLUGSE IN ABLETON

To establish the proper MIDI communication between TRIGON-6 and the PlugSE/Editor:

Please make sure that the Global Parameters are set MANUALLY (not through the computer) on TRIGON-6 as follows:

MIDI Channel: ALL (ALL)

Param Xmit: NRPN (nr)

Param Rcv: NRPN (nr)

MIDI Control: ON (On)

MIDI Sysex: MIDI (Nid) or USB (USb) depending on your connection

MIDI Out: MIDI (Nid) or USB (USb) depending on your connection

Also, please make sure that the MIDI track channel has the same MIDI channel as the TRIGON-6 MIDI Channel or the TRIGON-6 MIDI channel is set to ALL.

Here is what you should do:
