Meaning, you need to connect them to something. Some of these VSTi programs are 'stand alone', but a lot of interesting software is realized as 'plug in'. For instance, one Virtual Studio Instrument (VSTi'), can produce the characteristic sound of a specific type of organ, another simulates the reverb characteristics of certain acoustic environment. On the Internet and in specialized shops, all sorts of programma's are availble, which you can use in your 'virtual studio'. That concept - software, representing a set of virtual sound devices - is called Virtual Studio Technology. Together, your virtual devices inside your computer can form a Virtual Sound Studio, existing of programs only.

Actually, since MIDI Yoke offers 8 MIDI in and 8 MIDI out ports, MIDI Yoke can conduct MIDI signals from eight programs to eight progams. The program MIDI Yoke conducts MIDI signals from programs to programs. The MIDI data stream is passed directly from output to input. That sound mixer program would be called a 'virtual device'. The functions of a MIDI sound mixer, for instance, can be represented in a program, running on the same computer, acting as and looking like a sound mixer.

The devices, which MIDI Yoke connects, can very well be 'virtual' too. Since MIDI Yoke is a computer program, acting as a cable, we could call it a 'virtual cable'. A MIDI connection cable passes MIDI signals through from one device to another. It is used with devices for creating, editing or processing MIDI sound like MIDI synthesizer, keyboard, echo, mixer, equalizer, interface card. MIDI Yoke is a modest computer program, functionally comparable with a set of cables, for connecting MIDI devices. If you do not want to spend money on such a program, you can use (free available) MIDI Yoke. A Windows PC requires an extra program and settings.
