Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Hi folks,

I haven't been following the list for a while, and I am wondering if  
anyone here is using Vyzor on OS X?  I've noticed that it hasn't  
moved on from Pre-Release stage for a long time - are they still  
alive?  Is it working well for you?  I like touching knobs more than  
a mouse, so I'd be using it more as just a librarian...  I'm running  
Cubase SX 3.1.1 on G5 2 GHz here.

Thanks!!

I am using it on PC and it hasn't really been working
very well for me. It crashes Ableton when I run it as
a VST and it doesn't seem to be able to recieve sysex
when it is not crashing my program. If it is not
running as a VST then it takes over the midi in and
out that it is working on making it so you can't run
any other kind of midi into like a keyboard or your
sequencer or whatever you want to be using.

It's visually stunning and well layed out but the
function is lacking dramatically. I don't know what
the deal with the pre-relase thing is either. I am
waiting for them to move it to full relase so I can
get an upgrade. 

So anyhow that is my two cents on the whole issue. I
would say just get the DaveSmith editor.

Hi Matt & Derek,

Thanks for the replies.  I was not aware of the fact Sound Tower one  
is available for OS X.  I will try it out!

Thanks again.

All the best,

Hi Matt,

While you describe the Vyzor Evolver issues you've encountered in 
Ableton Live 6 very colorfully, you forgot to mention that Vyzor 
Evolver does run flawlessly as a stand-alone editor and that the 
other editor you recommended doesn't actually offer VST features in 
addition to stand-alone operation. 

Also, you should be aware that the MIDI port trouble you attributed 
to Vyzor Evolver in stand-alone operation is a consequence of your 
MIDI interface having single-client drivers. If you download the 
Sound Tower demo the issues you describe will apply to their editor 
software as well. FYI.

Nonetheless, as a Vyzor Evolver user you are in line for some 
excellent news: Please stay tuned to the Vyzor Evolver pre-release 
group for the big announcement that will be coming in the next week 
or so.

Cheers,

Tony
