How to set iBassist to send chords to external instrument and use internal bass sound? SOLVED

I would like to ask you for help.
But my goal is to process chord 1 or chord 2 by Pure synth Platinum and for bass I would like to hear internal iBassist instrument. How to do that?

  1. When I start with empty project, add PSP AU and set iBassist as MIDI source for this PSP, I can also set bass, chords1 or chord2 in "MIDI cable" option. All these options works. I can hear bass line, chord1 line or chord2 line depending on the selected MIDI channel.
    But in case of bass I want to hear instrument from iBassist which is not possible because iBassist is add as MIDI item, not AU.

  2. If I add iBassist AU to the empty project as first and then PSP AU, I have no idea how to connect MIDI out from iBassist to MIDI in for PSP.

    First add iBassist as an audio AU. Then Add MIDI and choose the AU instance you already added. It makes your loaded AU a midi source

    @espiegel123 Is there anything you don't know? :smile:
    Thank you very much for your advice, it works now!

    Hmm, let me ask you once again, @espiegel123.
    I'm trying to extend what is worked and would like to use "Live MIDI In" feature. It is set on both iBassist instances. I'm sending notes from Tonality. The AU instance of iBassist (on the right side) is reacting as expected and playing Am chord, but MIDI instance of iBassist ignore it.

    Not sure I understand. If you set it up as I suggested, there is really only one instance. Can you post a screenshot of your mixer setup?

    My fault, I'm sorry.
    Instead of literally following your "First add iBassist as an audio AU. Then Add MIDI and choose the AU instance you already added" I grabbed the second instance of iBassist. It worked as an answer to my original question, so I had no suspicion that I had done anything wrong.
    Thank you again.
