4.4.2 Set Up External Hardware Instruments
In Studio One, an External Instrument is an external MIDI hardware synthesizer, workstation, or
other device that can generate or manipulate sound. External Instruments are set up globally
and then are available for use in any Song.

1. In the Options/External Devices menu, click on the Add button.

Channel 1 is selected by default. If you are unsure of the appropriate MIDI channels to
