fl studio question

how do you switch midi channels in fl? like for example I have a piano in channel 1 of halion and strings in channel 2, how would I play the strings? I have the "typing keyboard to piano keyboard" enabled cause I don't have a real keyboard yet

OR.. does anyone know how to do this in vanilin midi keyboard, it's basically the same as the one in fl but with more features.. there's a menu with the 16 midi channels but when I change it it's still playin the first instrument

I think you use the vst FL Midi out from your vst list. Im not sure tho havnt used FL in a very long time.

I don't think midi out is right but I figured out how to do it in project5 with vanilin midi keyboard
dunno why this doesnt work in fl.... maybe ill have to switch soon
