[you may need this] Multichannel output plugin export

I'm posting this because I'm sure someone will search the forum for multichannel out RNBO plugins before they find it in the manual!

It took me a bit to find this, but I did, and met with some success.
I have a RNBO patch with 6 audio outs. I initally tried to export as a VST3, but the outputs did not show up in Bitwig 4.4.8 or in Live 11.2.10.
I then found this bit in the RNBO manual about exporting, where you label the outputs with the "@meta bus <name>" tag. Once I exported with unique bus names on the [out~] objects, the DAWs recognized the plugin as multi-out. Yay!

Here's how you get the individual outs from Live and from Bitwig.

Thanks for sharing this! I know I eventually will run into that problem as well :)

Sure thing. For additional reference, here's what this looks like in a patch:
