control a virtual instrument with Scaler 2

How can I use the generated Midi-data from i.e. Scaler 2 to control another VST loaded in a different sound or group?

Is it possible to route Midi from one sound / group to another?

MIDI can be sent from one Pad to another by setting Sound>Output>Destination, however Maschine does not support MIDI Out from plugins, or "MIDI FX".

This means that if you bind notes to Chords for example Maschine will just record/send the original note to the other Pad instead of the Chord Scaler is generating. There's countless threads about this on the forum, the 2 workarounds are either:

1 - using another host inside Maschine (like Element or Minihost) - This way you load the host on a Pad and Scaler inside it.

2 - Use the MIDI drag-and-drop functionality of Scaler.
