Just in case anyone with the same issue stumbles across this thread, I managed to sort something out. You can solve this by using a chainer or 32-bit host that itself acts as a VST in a 64-bit DAW. VSTHost by Herman Sieb works with Ethno and Cantabile Lite 2.0/3.0 x86 also works with Ethno. I finall...

Once again, you have three choices: Upgrade Ethno, downgrade Windows or lose the functionality. This is the sum of your three lengthy posts. Something I and everyone else already knew. What a grand waste of time. :| But actually, Ethno already works on Win10 64-bit. The Creators update messed with ...

Then don't buy anything. The loss of functionality is yours, not MOTU's nor mine. People have been howling at the moon over this as long as computers have existed. It's a non-issue and the sense of entitlement that, because you paid for something once, it should always work for no extra charge is a...

I believe that support has given you the correct answer. When they say that an old version no longer works but a current version does, that is not "dropping the ball". It's progress. If you are not going to upgrade, the app, then you must figure out how to downgrade Win 10. Good luck with...

I recently updated Win10 with the Creators update. Since then my MOTU stuff won't work. I finally got MOTU Symphonic to work in UVIWorkstation but MOTU Ethno will not. I tried Ethno.ufs in UVI workstation. Won't load, invalid file! And just the regular .dat file with the VST. Says,"This softwar...

I donwloaded the latest version of MSI about ten days ago and installed it on my new Win 7 laptop. It installed and started to work with my Sonar OK. I notice that MOTU don't yet affirm that MSI works with Win7 (unlike Ethno which I have too). When I use Sonar, I lay down two tracks: Piano and Strin...

I am using ASIO.
The buffers are locked down to 'fast' 16.5ms
To adjust the latency I have to click on the ASIO Panel button and adjust the latency buffers and scale.
In this ASIO panel the settings are:
Audio buffer size:
[9]
Asio buffer size 720 samples.

thanks,,

I have a pretty fast Dual core. My sound card is not the best but its more than adequate, or I guess it should be. MSI is not supposed to be CPU hungry. I opened my task manager and saw the load being put on my CPU. It only got as high as 24%. I also was only using 1.66Gb of 4GB I have on board. My ...

When I am playing MOTU symphonic I load up the piano on one track and strings on another track in Sonar. I am having trouble with pops and clicks. I have played around with the ASIO buffers a lot but can't get much joy. If I put them right up then there's latency. I took out the conv reverb from MOT...

Yes, I do think my monitors have something to do with it. When I wear headphones it does sound slightly better. I am learning that I've got to be more gentle with the keys / velocity. If its too hard then it distorts a little bit. Another thing I have though is a bit of a sound card issue. I mix the...

I just got MOTU Symphonic and I read a few reviews about it knowing it had issues but they mentioned a pretty good piano sample set. Anyway, I loaded it up and finally got it working in Sonar... I find that the piano sounds (eg: German) around middle C (up to an octave below and octave above that) a...

I just got MSI and installed it. Actually the install only appears to have half-worked because when it asks me to insert the Ilok, I do that and it just hangs on " updating registry" so I have to cancel it. Having said that, I can get it to work in UVI Workstation, ... but Sonar (Home 6 XL...

When I drag and drop loops from Ethno to Sonar it does not work as it should. For example, I have an African drum beat and I drag it to start at 10 seconds into the song. The loop is positioned on the timeline in the right place but it starts from the beginning and plays all the way through the song...

I've just got MOTU Ethno in the mail yesterday. I also bought Sonar 6 Home Studio XL. I'm completely new at this but saw that Sonar needs VST plugins to be in a certain directory (something like c:\program files\sonar\VST plugins or similar). Do you have to install MOTU to a special directory in ord...

Thanks, I found a good comparison page for Sonar features: http://www.pcmusicsupply.com/sonar_3.html I may well go for the 6XL because it has session drummer 2 and a cut down version of Garritan personal orchestra. The PE is a lot more expensive than Home 6XL. I found a website called J&R that d...
