I'll just be quick to mention this for anyone interested in that four letter word (MIDI), and get out of here quick as I only just escaped last time with my life

Join the Image-Line Forum and download free MiniHost 32/64 Win or Mac use IL Minihost Modular (FX).dll

http://forum.image-line.com/viewtopic.php?t=123031

Set AU start time to 1:2.00 to sync bars n beats to vsti's like EZDrummer EZKeys RapidComposer etc..

Load IL Minihost Modular (FX).dll into a track with a wav or empty wav

The piano roll editor don't sync to the host so you can use MidiLooper piano roll 32/64 Win Mac Insert Piz Here - midiLooper

midiOut 32bit Win Mac use JBridge for 64 Insert Piz Here - midiOut can be used for MTC sync to another audio app (but Mac midiOut lacks MTC)

midiIn 32bit Win Mac use JBridge for 64 Insert Piz Here - midiIn

You can Render it by recording the VI to another track.

There is a Re-wire VSTi ReWire VST - VST plugin with ReWire works with midi.

You can also use a VSTi like RapidComposer Music Prototyping and Automated Music Composition

If you come up way a better way to have midi support, please post it here for those that keep asking for that four letter word.

It is the same Au Grey

Was that English? This did not answer my question. This is the only thing that google search brings up on the issue. Did I join a conversation in the middle? Does or does not Adobe Audition support VST instruments?

Audition does not support VST instruments, no. The limited support there was was dropped after Audition 3.

Audition had MIDI in version three. It didn't really catch on at all, and was promptly dropped in the next version.

I've been a user since the old days, having started out with Cool Edit Pro.

I don't believe midi support didn't catch on, but rather that it was never properly implemented.

Lack of support for VSTi like EZdrummer seriously impairs the overall recording experience in Audition in my opinion. I record lots of ideas for my band and use EZdrummer, bass etc. to try out the basic band feel when i have recorded a guitar riff. Then later the real drummer and bass player can do their parts using their own equipment and in their own time. Especially in the present time people are not always working together and at the same time. To be able to use a midi drummer and so on makes life so much easier. I believe Adobe has forgot about what made Cool Edit Pro and later Audition work in the first place. And that is musicians, not radio stations and professional video editors...just simple folks making great music in their home studio. With pain in my heart I have recently started using a different DAW than Audition, just for the VSTi support. I kinda hate it, but I think I'll have no choice than to stick with it as I don't expect Adobe to move back in the direction of Audition being a proper home studio recording program. Then again...here's hoping...

For anyone else contacting me about RapidComposer VSTi here is an example of RC sending back to Kontakt.

Remember to Save/Load your connection Graph in MiniHost.

Ableton has ReWire support, you can try the ReWireVSTi in MiniHost.

Another way is Blue Cat's PatchWork - Fully Configurable Plug-Ins Chainer / Standalone Host or Plug-In

There are Win/Mac Demo Downloads on the right you can try.

For the OP, an interesting solution. My personal way of incorporating MIDI is to create my MIDI sounds in Ableton, convert them to wave files, then transfer to Audition for editing and mixing.. I know of others who work in a similar way using a variety of other software for the MIDI portion.

As you probably gather, this is a "hot topic" with users pretty split on whether they want MIDI implementation in Audition or not.
