![]() :) As a matter of fact, I just bought the Arturia V Collection, and while there are 64-bit dll's for inclusion in 64-bit Sonar, stand-alone versions of individual synths, like their amazingly good Modular V are only present in 32-bit form. I am actually going to go ahead and install a 32-bit Dim Pro, as i REALLY like this Free Piano for browsing myself - this is of course all your fault, and I thank you for it. ![]() I do not believe any sounds are above 24-bits, so I think whether or not you are previewing in 32-bit Dim Pro or 64-bit Dim Pro, or whatever synth you want, I would imagine this Free Piano app would still fit the bill very well. The 32-bit Rapture sounds are the exact same as the 64-bit sounds, and the same would be true for Dimension Pro. Well, I did not install 32-bit Dimension Pro, so I do not at the moment see that either, BUT I did install a 32-bit Sonar, and all of its included plugins and such, so Rapture does show up. Anyways, I think this is a pretty cool application. It allows routing to whatever type of audio device you have installed and want to use, and you can also set it to use midi controllers as input, though I do not know why one would use the program in that event, as you could just point Rapture to use the same midi controller for input. Double-clicking the desktop shortcut fires it right up, no problem. It doesn't even need installation - just copy the contents of the zipped folder to an uncompressed folder and then right-click on the application and send it to the desktop to create a shortcut. If this is the functionality you are looking for, I thought this app fit the bill very well. Then, I could quickly play some notes using the mouse to very quickly cruise through a bunch of sounds to look for a particular bass sound, or whatever. I got it to work by clicking on the Instrument tab, then selected Rapture from the list, then scrolled back to the top of the list and clicked on Show VST Instrument Windows, and it popped open the regular Rapture UI windows, where I could load up whatever sound I wished. I don't happen to have the 32-bit Dimension Pro installed, but I loaded up the x32 Rapture, and it worked flawlessly to allow mouse and keyboard triggering of Rapture sounds through FreePiano. That scheme works with hundreds of instruments (and other midi contraptions) and every DAW.Update - I downloaded the FreePiano app, from the above links, and it works like a champ. I.e., use External instrument midi output => virtual midi cable => DAW midi input The general solution that will work more reliably for every DAW is to follow the advice given several times above, On the other hand if the VST plugin is designed to generate interesting midi rather than just being a keyboard then it's worth solving the midi routing puzzle in your DAW If your DAW has a virtual keyboard - why not use it? why bother looking for a VST solution that will probably be less effective. ![]() Configure it all correctly and then use Kontakt's keyboard to output midi to a Reaper track.īut none of that is any better than just using Reaper's virtual keyboard! Reaper has very flexible routing options (very flexible everything!) and Kontakt can be set to output midi from its built in virtual keyboard. ![]() There are many solutions available that do solve the above puzzle - but they're all slightly different.įor example, you can run Kontakt in Reaper. Second question has to be "Can the VSTi actually output midi?" - many still can not. So the first question has to be "can YOUR DAW handle the midi routing?"Īnd if yes then you'll just have to look up how your specific DAW handles that routing. VST was designed to convert midi input into audio output.īut now many VST instruments CAN output midi and most DAWs can handle the routing for midi-from-VSTīut there are no 'standard' ways of doing it - and so all DAWs do it differently. The original VST standard was not designed to work with midi output from VST plugins. ![]()
