How do I use virtual instruments under DAE?

You can use TDM, HTDM, and RTAS instruments under DAE in Digital Performer 4.5.

TDM and HTDM instruments are accessed in the same way MAS and AU instruments are when you are using the MOTU Audio System (MAS). To open a TDM/HTDM instrument, go to Project menu > Add Track > Instrument Track and select the desired instrument from the list.

RTAS instruments must be inserted as plug-ins on an audio track. This track must be record-enabled for the plug-in to receive MIDI input. For more information on using RTAS plug-ins in DP, check out the tech note, How do I use RTAS plug-ins in Digital Performer?.

For TDM, HTDM, and RTAS instruments, you will need to create a MIDI track to trigger the instrument. Go to Project menu > Add Track > MIDI Track, and select the desired TDM/HTDM/RTAS instrument as the output of this MIDI track.
