multiple midi-out vst bug fixed?

Can you point me to a thread discussing this issue?  Or explain it to me?  Perhaps I can assist - certainly to test something in X2 to see if an issue is still present.

But I would like to have a hint as to what the problem is,

Thanks, I have time this morning to do some testing.

Well, I will try to download the Catanya plugin a bit later this morning, and will try to see what's what with it in X2.

I am a bit confused as to why you refer to this as "multiple VST's using midi out", as it seems to be more of a question of using multiple instances of this particular plug in.  Maybe I am not getting something.

I have thus far in X2 had projects with as many as 5 instances of the same plugin (Kontakt 5), with no problem, and also multiple copies of Rapture - using arpeggiated presets, with no trouble - for whatever the worth.

Anyways, I will let you know what happens in a couple of hours or so.  I have been up for many hours now, and it's nappy time.

can anyone recreate this, or is it fixed now? thx :)

thanks bob, much appreciated :)

Sorry I have taken SOOOO long.

I will go get a GIANT cup of coffee and try to do all of this for you this morning - like right after I step down the hall for a moment.

Did some more digging - Catanya does not work in 64-bit Sonar.  I do not have 32-bit X2 installed, so I am afraid I cannot assist you after all with this.


Sorry - wish you good luck in getting past your issues here.

If you have any others to have me try, I would be happy to.

I am in the process of getting ready to try out the dreaded Jamstix/Kimu Killer Kombo, to see what happens on my Win7 x64 X2 x64 system.

Can you please tell me what I need to do in X2 to test them out?

Thanks - I have no probs using my system to try to help you guys - I just confess to having NO clue as to how to use these guys.  So far, it seems trickier than unclasping someone's bra one-handed without looking, while they are dancing, and parts of the bra are trapped under rolls of yeasty unwashed fat... aaaarrrrgggghhh

I appreciate someone posting some configuration and basic use steps for this test - sorry about any mental images I may have seared into your brains.  (well, not really sorry I suppose - I got a mean streak - hee hee)

Hi Bob,
It's the MIDI out functionality that the OP was talking about  rather than the particular VSTi. I was just using Jamstix because it happens to have MIDI out

I'm familiar those ways of working with Jamstix, however Sonar doesn't appear to support MIDI drag and drop from Jamsitx ( I've got Jamstix 2, it might work in the latest version).

When Jamstix is in a project without Kirnu, I can record the midi directly from Jamstix (via its MIDI out) so that I can edit the midi and just use Jamstix as a sample player (or replace it with SSD). You need the MIDI to be able to bounce to audio, and I can't get your point 2. to work.

To test the combination:

load Jamstix and Kirnu, checking Enable MIDI out in both cases, and, for clarity, using separate MIDI and Audio tracks rather than an Instrument track.

Load a synth, and change its MIDI in to Kirnu omni.

Load a patch into Kirnu

Click Echo on for Kirnu and the synth - you should be able to play your synth, which will respond to midi from kirnu, while Jamstix does its thing. However, if I try to record e.g. the Jamstix midi out, I get no midi, and often I get Sonar to crash. Sonar is otherwise stable for me, and, as I said earlier, I can normally record the midi out from Jamstix, so long as it's not competing with kirnu.

hi guys, thanks for trying, and yes as simon says it's no vst in particular, rather those that send midi out... also, i believe the drag'n'drop works in v3 jamstix (and there's a x64 native beta avaiable to reg users) p
