Sounds like a joke

Did you consult their very active user forum ?

AFAIK, Kontakt (full versionm which I don't havve) can use WAV files as "samples" and assign then to midi Notes. (You don't even need to import them.) Now playing this note (e.g. by taking the midi event from a drum pad) will fire the complete WAV file content, unless you use Kontakt means...

mschnell

If the software can do "direct Disk" streaming, the size of the files should not be an issue at all, as the first -say- second of all possible files are preloaded into RAM, and loading from SSD while playing is fast enough With LinuxSampler I am able to trigger so 30 Wav files at the same ...

mschnell

The hardware does sound perfect.

So SamSolo1.3 seems indeed to be the culprit.

I tested LinuxSampler (which can be d/led as a Windows version) very successfully (as a stand alone program). I don't know if it can run as a VST. But there are lots of other SoundFont players around.

... has been causing drop-outs too. I'm using some pretty large wavs (3 x 90Mb at a time) I suppose this is a hardware issue. At best you try a rather fast PC, enough RAM and - most important - an SSD. If you can't use an SSD you might consider to create a RAM DIsk and copy the wav files there befo...

I feel that "Translator" adds exactly those features to Forte that are still lacking to make the system a really versatile VST player. I wish the companies would work together to create a fine-tuned bundle of the products or even add some hardware to offer an affordable Receptor alternativ...

mschnell

???? You seemingly want your system so send out something. My question is: as a result of what action by yourself do you want this to happen. And regarding Forte: what happens within Forte right now when you do this action: How does it know about it and what is is programmed to do at this point. Re ...

mschnell

What in fact should make Forte send a program change ?

If it's a scene change, how do you initiate the scene change ? And is it really desirable to send always the same program change for the change to a specific scene ?

-Michael

mschnell

Yes, I'm wondering if I could have MT duplicate its output Of course you can. The output of all Translators (and active Presets) are merged while each scans the assign input ports. I understand that you connected MT's input to your hardware Midi input and Forte's input to one of MT's virtual Midi p...

http://www.seelake.com They created a hardware Box that comes with multiple analog and digital Audio I/Os, Midi I/Os, a remote control panel, seemingly using Windows 64, plus workalike features from Forte and Bome MidiTranslator under the hood. I suppose the price will be even higher than Receptor. ...

mschnell

In fact I had the idea that the original request could easily be managed by Midi Translator Pro by just setting the sounds in Forte to react on different Midi channels and with a global variable in MT switch on and off generating the same midi event on the additional channel. (You can copy the note-...

mschnell

Maybe you can get more help in the MidiTranslator forum. -> http://www.bome.com/forums/ In fact I do not fully understand the problem yet. What do you mean by "common on hardware multitimbral keyboards". I don't know if/how Midi can be router out of Forte, through Translator and back into ...

mschnell

If you don't find an internal solution with Forte you might consider to use Bome Midi Translator in the Midi data stream between the Midi input and Forte. Here you can do "Midi Mute" (and a lot more).

-Michael

In my case I need to change Forte scene (by MIDI Program Change) and then a lot of MIDI setup should be done automatically (various stuff for different scenes!),... I recommended the maker of MidiTranslator to work with the maker of Forte to allow for an integration of the two products in a way tha...

I did take a look at the Soundigy Website.

Their Forum has lots of slots but exactly three posts that were posted nearly a year ago and are just a feature request and supposedly a fake.

This does not sound encouraging at all

-Michael

mschnell

So I suppose the major feature difference between Bome and Soundigy is that Bome seemingly can't work as a VST. I'll take a look at Soundigy Midi Processor solution, as well :D . Nice for me: They have a German website :D :D Edited: even nicer, Bome is a German company :D :D :D :D :D -Michael

Thinking about all this (especially seeing that pure Midi Filter VSTs are possible but don't make too much sense) .... The main advantage of the VST format and hence of a VST-host based system such as the great Forte is that the VST format defines as well the MIDI- as the Audio- stream interface (an...

mschnell

Can Bome MIDI Translator work as a VST plugin? Can I run multiple instances of it? Does it change presets (settings) automatically whenever forte scene change event occurs (for each instance separately)? I don't suppose it can work as a VST, and I suppose that is not necessary. How do you intend to...

mschnell

I d/lded the test drive of this one: http://www.bome.com/products/miditranslator Seems like a similar concept and looks very promising (It's the same price). The Translator seems to be able to do just about anything with Midi Data. I was happy to find that I got an answer to a question in their Foru...

in this thread: http://www.native-instruments.com/forum/showthread.php?48959-KORE-LINUX-Drivers "sleen" states, that, using Wine, he was able to run the Windows version of Reaper in Linux (already 6 years ago), and successfully run Native Instruments VSTs in this configuration. Reaper is a...

Supposedly without checking the jbridge box in Forte.

Seems easy. Hence this Checkbox just is a little bit confusing

-Michael

mschnell

I did not know that you can use jbridge "stand alone" without Forte telling that you do.

Good to know.

Thanks,
-Michaerl

mschnell

What I would love to see is the existing jbridger options included in the forte plugin manager options, so that I don't have to worry about running the jbridger tool externally in order to avoid duplicates. This is what I meant by "Personal jbridge. As I doubt that this can be done without mod...

Today I ordered the Audio 6.
Lets see how it works...
-Michael

mschnell

I heard of bad experience with the Behringer's ASIO driver for low latency applications.

So I likely will buy a Native Instruments Audio 6: similar specs, proven low latency operation and some €50 higher price.

-Michael

mschnell

BTW, "VFX", a version of software stuff V-Machine seems to use to run VST's in Linux seems to be available on it'sd own: http://www.smproaudio.com/index.php/en/products/v-machines/v-machine-downloads It is not available for Linux, but AFAIR, it allows for running Windows VST on Mac. -Michael

mschnell

OK for me.
Thanks,
-Michael

mschnell

It would be nice to take a look at Receptor and try to understand how they do it. I suppose handling of midi and sound is no problem for maker of VST Host software. Supposedly, ASIO needs to be replaced by the Linux "JACK". Of course support for audio hardware might be a problem. (Both Rec...

mschnell

In fact I just found out that the NI Kontakt "Player" does not seem to allow for instrument banks and thus does not allow for switching loaded sample instrument via program change midi events and thus it is not usable as a stand alone "sample host" for live playing (the very expe...

mschnell

I take this for "The problem is decently solved and a licensed user will get a working software".

That is exactly what I hoped to hear

Thanks for your comments,

I (of course) get the same crash with my just installed NI Kontakt instruments. I did not yet have a Forte license, as I am still evaluating the hardware and software. Si I understand I can't try the Beta. As Kontakt in Forte will be the main working mode for me, I do need a solution. Any news about...

Many thanks for the enormously valuable information ! Obviously my requirements are - USB 2.0 - at least 2 output channels - low latency - symmetric outputs - not too pricy (say < € 200) My wishlist additionally includes - Midi in - two decent quality Microphone inputs - Phantom power for the Microp...

mschnell

Thanks for the link. I'll take a look. I wrote to the music store where I intend to buy the I/O Box. They confirm, that the driver is the main cause of such latency. They say that the new Behringer/Midas box features a buggy driver and is not at all suited for low latency application. They confirm t...

RME offers both USB and FireWire in equal quality. Thanks a lot. Great to know ! I already was in fear that the box I bought (which can't be equipped with Firewire) would get an unresolvable problem. Moreover I am not very inclined to invest in Firewire which after being promoted by Apple and with ...

Thanks a lot for the replies. I only borrowed the rather old Tascam for testing, so no damage done yet. I did not think that the interface would make such a big difference. I don't understand yet what the "buffer size " numbers in Forte mean 22,81 mSec @ 44,1KHz obviously is 1006 Sample, 1...

Hi Experts, Knowing that latency is critical for live performance and that for low latency we need decent system performance, I bought appropriately fast (end expensive :( ) hardware (Intel i7 4 cores / 8 Threads, 4*2.5 GHz, 16 GB Ram.

Generally, if a program is working under wine, it works perfectly fine and there is nothing to worry about. If a program is not working under wine, it usually has something to do with the GUI, but not always. I use Reaper under wine all the time, with a few vst plugins that are not available for OS...

Looks very interesting.

Sounds like a perfect job for a SoundFont player triggered by a Midi Drumpad.

BTW.:
I installed a USB Audio convertor with ASIO driver.

The testing system works _a_lot_ better than wirth ASIO4ALL.

Any comments on how to do my own Midi-Filter VSTs ?

Anybody ?!?

-Michael

Of course, at best, a jbridge alike functionality would be integrated in Forte, so that the 64 bit version seamlessly can handle 32 Bit VSTs. Another option might be a kind of wrapper (i.e. a "personal jbridge") for each 32 bit VST to be used so that Forte 64 is seamlessly sees as a 64 Bit...

mschnell

If Forte recognizes a DLL as a VST it will always try to include a "reason" for ignoring it if it has to. Does that mean you suggest that the DLLs shown as ignored without a reason just are not VSTs at all ? This in fact does make sense. Anyway it would be nice to have forte issue the rea...

mschnell

Thanks for your hints !

It might be worthwhile rescanning the ignored VSTs again (from the ignore tab - highlight and click rescan). It could be a problem with the VSTs, or Forte of course but Forte will keep these ignored until you select the VSTs in the ignore window and rescan. I did so. It does not change anything. &q...
