Plugin problem

[sunsetsoneuropa]

I just recently added a drum vst and when select it on the instrument track i get a mesage that pops up and says

The mixer configuration expected My Drum Set to have Output 1: Stereo
-The instrument currently has Output 1: Mono, Output 2: Mono, Output 3: Mono, Output 4: Mono, Output 5: Mono, Output 6:Mono, Output 7: Mono, Output 8: Mono, Output 9: Mono, Output 10: Mono, Output 11: Mono, Output 12: Mono
-The instrument channel will be silent


Then it asks me if i want to export these warnings as a text file. But the plugin itself still comes up and it is silent just like it said it would be. Any ideas on this one? This is Cubase le 4 by the way.

what drum application is it? it sounds like it needs to feed into a stereo track. have a look and see if the VST itself has an internal mixer where you can set the routing...

All the Vst has is parameters for the drums, it has nothing else to edit. I have it set on an instrument track. It is a Bluenoise plugin.

That seems strange... as it is listing separate outputs you'd imagine that they'd be configurable (like EZDrummer for example).
...found this on the bluenoise forum (which would've been the best place to look 1st )
"for Cubase 4 people select activate all outputs and the whole twelve mics come up as seperate instrument tracks"

I actually found the forum and followed the directions. It said to activate all outputs click the icon next to the name of the plugin (it looks like an arrow with a fence around it) I did that and nothing happens. I have searched everywhere i can think to activate these outputs. Im not sure if i have to add outout buses but i tried and couldnt get that to work either. I basically just need to figure out how to activate all ouputs and i have searched the manual 3 times now.

Okay i found something in the manual saying that vst instruments cannot have more than one output. I dont understand why. Maybe its because it is Le? So i guess i cannot use drum vst can i? Unless anyone knows of another free one that doesnt use seperate output channels.

I knew they had to limit Cubase LE 4 SOMEHOW!!!!!

I have no trouble with this in Cubase SX3 so I'm guessing this is just an LE4 limitation.

I'm using Cubase LE(not LE4) and I can have multiple outputs from drum and sampler vst's which then show up in the mixer as seperate outputs, maybe you could try installing another vst with multiple outs and see if the same problem still occurs. Drumatic3 from E-Phonic - Home is agreat instrument with multiple out and is free I'm sure LE4 would allow multiple outs Dezz.

It says in the Le 4 manual that it doesnt support multiple output plugins.
