Usage in Ardour

Ardour supports loading ArtiString and Synths in one audio track, however by default the entire signal chain is audio-only. The fix is easy, add a midi output to the container in which ArtiString is loaded

• load ArtiString and your software synth into an audio track (lets call it artistring)

You can see that ArtiString and the synth are not connected

• right-click on ArtiString and select Pin Connections...

• in the pin connections click on Manual Config then add a midi out

• connect the midi out of Instance #1 to the newly created midi out of the plugin container. Left click and drag the connection to the target midi out

• close Pin Connections.... Now ArtiString and the synth are connected

• select input monitoring, pluck a string and you should hear the synth
