Re: Midi 2.0

Here's a video, posted very recently, from the MIDI Association's COO, which explains it all pretty clearly, with much basic info about compatibility with MIDI 1, cables, hardware, etc., PLUS including the fact that what's still yet to happen is the development of "class-compliant" drivers for MIDI ...

Re: Plugin Alliance - most plugins $29.99

OK, because they all seem quite different from what others are posting about, I grabbed Matcha as I'm a collector of virtual guitars, and have already picked up a lot of the PA guitar amps, which to my ears are some of the best around <snip> What do you think about matcha?

Re: Waves GTR3, did anyone try it?

The Waves stomp-boxes are kinda fun, but definitely replaceable with more interesting options as well (my choices are Guitar Rig and BiasFX). I never use the amp sims, nor their PRS emulations. For amp tones I much prefer the ones from Plugin Alliance (all bought during sales) ( Fuchs , Deizel , Meg...

Re: Code Re-Use: Plugin Alliance: MEGA-SALE-20-OFF

Pre-Metal, old-school guitar tones: I know that PA get a crap-ton of bad-mouthing elsewhere (KVR!), but I've always been really pleased with what I've bought there. This time, I finally decided to explore guitar-amp and stomp-box emulations, and wow, there's some unparalleled stuff there (I've been ...

Re: Voltage Modular 2

One of the coolest things I've discovered with this is that you can use the aux audio outs in Voltage Modular as a pseudo-cv out... I run audio thru a Thor matrix for audio to cv conversion and it works like a charm! :puf_bigsmile: Interesting! Details please? I can't quite figure out how you're do...

… Downside is you need to build your own synth, upside is when you have built it you can use it to make new patches. I've been using and loving Reaktor since way before Reason appeared, and I've NEVER built my own synth with it. There's literally over 5000 already built examples in the completely f...

If you have a lot of files you are probably going to want to batch process them. Something like Adobe Audition can do this or Myriad.

Re: Favourite Waves plugins?

Believe it or not, the only ones I still use (bought Gold at least 18 years ago~) are the guitar racks/amps/stomps. They still sound great for low-distortion stuff to my boomer ears, even though I've got lots of other newer options.

Re: Players and Ableton...what am I not getting?

AUs have never sent MIDI out. That's why Apple created AU MIDI FX, but AFAIK, Logic, GB and Mainstage are the only DAWs that allow them.

The only thing is Mainstage is NOT a plugin, and you'll have to use a workaround to get the sound into Reason or any other DAW. But it can be done.

Is it possible, to have one single MidiFX plugin to trigger multiple instruments? Unfortunately you can't put a MidiFX on a track stack sum channel to trigger all the other included instruments.

Re: Reason 11.2 and Logic Pro X

If I recall correctly, using Logic features only, you have to use an IAC Driver loop and their External Instrument device to record MIDI from one track to another. REALLY wish they'd bring Logic into the 21th century MIDI--wise!
