MSI 1.1.2 non-UB MAS - there is a good side to it too...

Post by papageno »

DP5.1 on IntelMac and MSI non-UB MAS plugin... I had to see to some other AU or VST host and that is how I discovered Bidule. A brief descritpion of Bidule's hosting capabilities:

Stand-alone version:
* can be as Rewire slave or master. As a slave can be ReWired to DP
* can host AU and VST (including AU or VST version of MSI)

AU plug in DP:
* can host AU and VST (save on VST Wrapper)
* can host MSI as VST plugin. I couldnt get it to work with MSI AU in DP.

Both versions:
* provides loads of modules (bidules)- too much to describe here
* uses CPU sparingly as VI host... unlike DP

Anyway, there is a good side to everything. If MOTU would have provided UB MAS instance for MSI right away then I wouldnt have discovered Bidule. I bought an "early bird licence" and i will probably keep using it as VI host even when MOTU provides UB MAS for MSI. I am also waiting for Kontakt2 to go UB. Bidule Rewired to DP 5.1 works really great. Didnt work when a first tried but I simply didnt do right stuff in right order (had to consult manual...)
