Track Instruments vs. Rack Instruments in Cubase 7.5

Quick question from me. Suppose we have a VSTi with 16 outputs, can you do the following:

  • Create 16 “instrument tracks” which are each routed to the appropriate MIDI and audio channel in the VSTi
  • Have automation available on each of the 16 tracks for the VST instrument and corresponding audio channel

In Cubase < 7.5, you would have the following when using the instrument rack:

1 x VSTi track - ALL automation for the 16 tracks would reside here
16 x audio tracks - For each corresponding output, automation for the audio outputs would reside on each of thisi
16 x MIDI tracks - Each of these would only send note and CC data to the instrument

What I’m hoping for is:

16 x instrument tracks - Each can automate the VSTi, its associated audio channel and send MIDI / CC data

Is this possible in v7.5? If so, then I’ll definitely upgrade from v6.5! :slight_smile:
