Using music instruments in GT Player Express: The only difference between using effects (VST's) and music instruments (VSTi's) is that effects usually process the audio signal from input to output while music instruments process MIDI data and generate an audio signal. MIDI data for instruments is received from MIDI devices selected in Preferences on all MIDI channels. You can use the built-in MIDI keyboard (see Keyboard control) to generate MIDI notes for testing and playing of music instruments. NOTE: You can further process output from music instruments through effects.
