Hello So I am playing inside Scaler with my midi keyboard, but my DAW outpout the sound of another VST because I sent scaler to ouput “6” and my vst instrument to input “6”. That said, I work inside an orchestral template and would like to be able to send midi CC (modwheel) to control the dynamics of my strings as I play / record for exemple. Is this possible ? I use FL STUDIO Thanks ---

Hi @walimaga, Scaler does pass MIDI through so you shouldn’t have any problems with your modwheel. Have you set up your instruments the same way as in this tutorial? > [@Using Scaler 2 in FL Studio 20](https://forum.scalermusic.com/t/using-scaler-2-in-fl-studio-20/4127): > > In this video you will learn how to launch Scaler 2 in FL Studio and how to trigger an external instrument from Scaler: [[Scaler 2 - How to load Scaler in FL Studio 20 and Control an External Instrument] ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrOTtBvcuVU) ---

Yes, it does but there appears to be a problem with the Vst3 plugins… Try the Vst2 plugins and see if that helps. (something to do with Steinberg implementation) This has been discussed in this forum. ---

As LivingEdge stated, VST3 does not work correctly. Until Steinberg fixes that (they implemented the standard) use the VST 2 version. Works just fine passing all the information. ---

Yes I tried the VST 2 and it works well, thanks all
