Re: DP/ Stylus RMX question…

Hi, I've been creating some multis inside Stylus RMX. Everything plays as expected , however, after setting volume levels and pan positions and saving the multi , I then hit the space bar to engage DP with the sync to host tab in Stylus toggled on. The saved settings are ignored and volume sliders ...

Re: Question on 64 bit....

Omnisphere, Trilian, and Stylus RMX, like almost all 64-bit capable plugins, are both 32 and 64 bit. The 32 bit and 64 bit versions are combined into a single component when you view them in the Finder. A 32 bit host like DP will use the 32 bit version and a 64 bit host like Logic, Cubase, VEPro, or...

Re: DP 7.22 Spacebar Play/stop not working w/ Plugins open

It's a bug in DP with the handling of Cocoa-based plugins. Most plugins now use Cocoa, so this is becoming more and more noticeable. MOTU put a fix for this into 7.11 and that improved things for many users, but there are still reports of some users encountering this problem. If you encounter it, be...

Re: NI and Spectrasonics VIs steal transport

It works fine here with DP 7.22, but that's a bug DP exhibited in earlier versions, so I'd suggest contacting MOTU with the details to let them know.

Re: 64-bit Stylus RMX 1.7 ready; amazing groove-matching fea

Glad you like it, but regarding the "long-awaited" comment: that announcement you're referring to is 2 years old. Stylus RMX has been 64 bit since 2009 :-).

Re: 64 bit right around the corner...this spring!

Perhaps now i'm confused... do i need to boot my Mac differently (64bit) to get the 64 bit benefit even though i use VE Pro in 64 bit Server mode? No. There is no reason for the average user to ever boot their Mac in 64 bit mode. You can take full advantage of 64 bit apps and plugins, including the...

Re: 64 bit right around the corner...this spring!

I do wish that some companies like NI and EW would include the option to switch one of their plugins to a newer version, without having to manually go through and duplicate your settings. Last night I was trying to switch a project over to use Kontakt 4 instead of 3, and there was no straightforwar...

Re: NAMM report

Does a 32 bit kernel still get locked into the 4 GB limit? The answer to that is "No". Running 64 bit DAWs and 64 bit plugins is old news on the Mac. Many people do it already and are enjoying the benefits of practically unlimited memory. Those people are almost all running 32 bit kernels...

Re: NAMM report

It's not whether DP will run in 32 bit mode that concerns us. It's whether a 64 bit DP (in the future, of course, since it has not been released) will run in 64 bits on the Mac Pros that we have. They will run 64 bit apps, but they won't boot into the 64 bit kernel. It's a subject on which there ha...

Re: So many issues... [RESOLVED]

Using the preview mode helps a little, but not as much as I thought it would. It sounds like there may be a misunderstanding here. Preview mode doesn't reduce memory usage. The sampled soundsources in Omnisphere and Trilian are unapologetically rich and detailed. But, that doesn't mean you necessar...

Re: So many issues... [RESOLVED]

fyi, if you're running Omnisphere in server mode, it is only using about 10% of your available memory (unfortunately, DP does not yet support 64 bit addressing which would eliminate this problem entirely). So, if you're running out of memory, that means you were using almost all of your available me...

Re: Which VI's do and dont work with SL?

Atmosphere wrapper 1.2 (always crashes DP) Trilogy wrapper 1.2 (always crashes DP) Those were just temporary until Omnisphere and Trilian became available. The upgrade to Trilian is free. Omnisphere and Trilian are compatible with Snow Leopard. Stylus RMX (old version .. not sure how to check which...

fyi, that was a problem in DP's handling of all Cocoa plugins, but MOTU fixed it in DP 7.11.

Re: stupid workflow things that I haven't figured out

For example, if I want to automate an LFO in Stylus, and want to assign that LFO knob to an external MIDI controller knob like one on my Kore2 hardware controller, how would I do this? As others have stated, I don't believe you can attach a MIDI controller to automated plugin parameters in DP. You ...
