I take it then that it can be done, is it a midi thru on the channel.

Ive got the guy on hold who is selling this.

I was really wanting it for external f/x, i.e. compressor, reverb etc, as I would like to try recording vocals with an external f/x.


yes it can be done. That's how the vocaloid synths and every other synth works. You install the synth and place it in your PLUG IN MANAGER....whatever that is called in the specific DAW you have. It then becomes available to use in the DAW and you select it when you do the "insert synth" function. You can then use your mouse or a midi keyboard to enter the notes you want the synth to play. I find using a midi keyboard is much easier, more accurate, and certainly faster than mousing the notes in to the source midi track.

It also works in a similar fashion if it's a hardware based synth. You send the midi track source data out and capture the hardware synth's audio output back to a track. Depending on the exact device..... there may be a learning curve to using it the way you want.
