How do we use multi midi mode ( omnisphere, kontakt )between DAW and synfire pro. If someone explain I so appricate. For example I opened four midi tracks in Omnisphere on Logic pro. How must be use in synfire pro Sound Selection wizard as a multi channel ? I am sorry Andre, but I couldn’t success anymore. Thanks for all people on the forum. I know that we must use drone. DAW part is no problem, problem is Synfire pro sound selection wizard.

Multi-timbral is supported. That's 16 MIDI channels, each of which can select a different sound. There are device descriptions in the Online Repository that can serve as an example (e.g. the JV-2080 devices). For Kontakt or other samplers, you set a fixed sound per channel. The Wizard guides you through this.
Multi-port is a different setup. For every 16 channels you'll need one Drone, each of which loads an instance of your plugin. Basically however, it's just multiple multi-timbral devices, as explained above.
Oh, and of course, you need to add (empty) Drones to your DAW before you call the Wizard.

Manual....
Tip: Drones are designed to link an arrangement with a DAW. While it is possible to
build a global rack based on Drones, we do not recommend it. The Engine is way
better suited for that, because it can save and restore your racks automatically.
Engines also ofer a lower latency when playing “live” from your keyboard hardware.

With this in mind : why should i use ever a drone in a DAW ?

why should i use ever a drone in a DAW ?
I can think of a couple of reasons.
- DAW is probably a better tool to master your music.
- You may want to include audio tracks with your synfire generated tracks (vocals anyone).
- You might want to record live musicians.
- DAW is probably better suited for rapid editing of automation.
- You might want to export individual tracks.
A lot of the above will depend on your genre of music.
