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.

    And as for the financial part that the previous poster has commented on. I couldn't agree more. The home recording artists of today (partly students) are the big ticket users of tomorrow. If I stop using Audition it would cost Adobe 5 paying subscribers. That's not a lot, but I'm sure there are (and I know of a few more) more people just like me out there. Adobe could stand to make quite a lot of money if they would target the home recording studio market a bit more. Audition is actually quite close to competitors like Pro Tools and Cubase, but it now competes against free options like Tracktions and the likes because they have better VST and VSTi support. That is such a shame, given the potential of Audition. So to finish this monologue again...here's hoping...


    You'd have thought that after 11-12 years of this, people would have got the message...

     

    1) It was radio that made Cool Edit, not music.

    2) Big ticket users are corporations, with seats apparently running into the millions. Today's bedroom music artistes do not become corporations. If you think they do, please name one.

    3) Audition is not music creation software. It may be capable of music recording, but that's not the same thing.

    4) The moment free options become available, there's no market anyway.

     

    You may find it hard to believe, but Adobe is pretty savvy. If they really thought they were losing out on a market that they could make money out of, they'd be there. Some of the developers would like Audition to 'do' music - they've said so. But also they want to get paid at the end of the month, and the hard economic reality is that for this to happen, you do what the man in the suit says.

    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.
