I'm working on a project where I'm outputting MIDI out of max and I'm having with routing. I have a presonus audiobox 1818 and would like to send the midi through outputs 5-8. But because it goes through the AU DSL Synth, I'm having trouble getting it to those outputs. If I use the system preferences to set my audio device to the presonus, I can get it to come out the main outputs (1 and 2) but that's it. I've tried playing with the audio midi setup and the presonus' virtual mixer, but can't seem to figure it out. Any advice?

AU DSL Synth uses whatever is set as system Audio Output in Audio Midi Setup.

Why not use it as AU plugin inside Max, then You could route the output to

2 channels stereo only.

any Presonus channel pair.


from your Max patch's noteout object is actually going out the MIDI out connector on the rear panel of your Audiobox, located underneath the word "MIDI". It's also going to the computer's built-in AU DLS Synth, where is is converted to 

which is then sent out the Main Outputs by setting the sound preferences in your System Ppreferences.

 from the AU DLS synth come out other Line Outputs, you'll have to use the software that comes with your Audiobox to route the system sound to those outputs. I think you may have to 

in order to route your DAW output to Line Outs 5-8. Check out page 24 of the VSL manual.

Or you could build your own synth in Max (DIY or try BEAP) and connect its audio output directly to the the dac~ object. Try "dac~ 5 6 7 8". This is much more fun, and you won't need the VSL app to route the audio.

To make the audio from the AU DLS synth come out other Line Outputs, you'll have to use the software that comes with your Audiobox to route the system sound to those outputs. I think you may have to Enable VSL Mixing in order to route your DAW output to Line Outs 5-8. Check out page 24 of the VSL manual.

There are numerous free plugins that can load or have prebuilt GM banks,

I would rather go that path, instead of using apple DSL,

if for no other reason, then because You can route them to individual audio outputs, if that is Your goal.

So look at sforzando, Sample Tank etc etc UVI Player, just to name a few.

My personal favorite is fluid~ synt external, but I don't know if it was updated for 64 bit max version.

Read the vst~ object's help.
