Using the M-Audio GM Module as a Plug-in
M-Audio GM Module works as a plug-in with many applications such as Pro Tools (RTAS), Cubase (VST) as well as Logic and
GarageBand (Audio Units) When running the GM Module software as a plug-in, your host application’s MIDI input settings
determine the MIDI information received by GM Module Some host applications can only address the first of the 16 channels
when using GM Module as a plug-in Load multiple instances of the M-Audio GM Module in several tracks of the host application
to overcome this limitation Some host applications allow a single instance of a plug-in to be used with multiple MIDI channels
but require additional configuration steps to achieve this We recommend making these additional settings since this method of
operation is far more CPU efficient when compared to the use of multiple instances of the plug-in within several tracks Consult your
host application’s documentation for details
