Working/Broken VST-i's

[pipelineaudio]

Please post the VST-i's that you have working and those that are still broke in here to expedite the VSTi integration proclamation

If any of this info is in error please let me know

Working:


Asynth
Crystal
Drumatics
FabFilterOne
Iblit
Invader
LazySnake
Odo Dr-Fusion
Polyblit
sfz
Solostring
String Theory
Synth1
Toxic
Wusikstation CM

[scum]

All of the vsti`s i use are working well. Tey are not much, heres the list:

All of e-phonic - drumatics, invader, solostring
CM 505
Claw
DVS guitar
EVM bassline, syncoder and ultrasonique
Loopazoid

[BoxOfSnoo]

I have also played only with a few...

All of CMusic's plugins seem to work
Crystal
LazySnake
FabFilter One
String Theory
Wusikstation CM
sfz

Did you also want to know about VST effects?

[chrishurley]

Jamstix doesn't seem to work... (rayzoon.com)

[sinkmusic]

Iblit works fine. (also Polyblit)
Ephonic Drumatic too.

[bullshark]

Reaper ver. 945

Working:

Asynth
SFZ
Synth1
Crystal
Toxic
Kjaerhus Classic series

Partly working:

Wusikstation 2: randome sticking last note, otherwise working
GPO (Kontakt player): randome sticking last note, otherwise working
Augur: sticking notes, randome patch mix up

Not working:

MinimogueVA: freeze Reaper
Richman 2: freeze Reaper
Subduer: freeze Reaper
Triangle II: shutdown Reaper with abnormal condition when tweaking parameters, otherwise working

Should be noted that loading FXPs or FXBs is not working.
Should note also that the sticking notes problems, especially with GPO, is also present in the rendered output. So, in effect, GPO, Wusik and Augur are unuseable here.

[malcolmj]

Jamstix doesn't seem to work... (rayzoon.com)

Bear in mind that any VSTi that requires MIDI Clock information won't work at the moment. It's not yet implemented in REAPER.

[sinkmusic]

Buzroom grancomp works fine, and also : Arcdev blitter, posihfopit eq, Mutagene 2warp delay, Tone2 Filterbank2, Bionic delay 1,2,
and Odo Dr-Fusion as a drum vsti...

But i still do NOT undesrtand the way midi recordings works : why, when i finished the recording, is there a window telling me if i want to keep about half a dozen of midi files (as i only recorded one single take), and why does everything does not show up.. ?

[sinkmusic]

Me again..
List improved, Justin : hope it helps...
The testing has been very basic, as i still do not know very well how to record coplex midi stuff... So i tried it with a basic one measure beat running...

VST
OK : Sknote Mirror philter, Kjaherus classic delay.
NOT WORKING : bram supatrigga, mdsp LiveCut ;

VSTI :
OK = Odo DR-FUsion2, Ephonic Drumatic2, Xoxos Regula, Rgc audio Triangle, Minimogue VA ;

[bullshark]

The testing has been very basic, as i still do not know very well how to record coplex midi stuff... So i tried it with a basic one measure beat running...

I suggest you try this project http://www.cockos.com/forum/showthread.php?t=682 for testing VSTs instead, as a single one measure beat doesn't tell much as to the stability of a plugin.

For instance, I can load Triangle II no problems, I can choose a patch and play it, but if I try to tweak the parameters while the song is playing, Reaper Crashes, hard.

I can load GPO no problems and have it plays, but only for a single instance; as soon as I add other instances to a project, I get missing notes on the start of some midi section and sticky notes at the ends.

All in the interest of helping get Reaper more functional and stable.

I've got:

All the digitalfishphones (Blockfish, Spitfish, Floorfish, endorphin) and Mr ray73 (a synthedit plugs, and it worked no problems? a first for my experience with Reaper) working allright.

I seem to have problems with the Jesusonic plugs thought, I tried the delay and chorus as a send effect and they behaved erratically on my test project (could be user error, anybody else can check?).

[Art Evans]

As mentioned in another thread, these seem to work here (though I admit I haven't tried hard to crash them):-

Rumpelrausch Taips FLP4 (organ) and FLP3 (Strings)

Please, dont post VST's in here, just VST-i's

[eidenk]

For instance, I can load Triangle II no problems, I can choose a patch and play it, but if I try to tweak the parameters while the song is playing, Reaper Crashes, hard.

I confirm I have had a couple of crashes as you say with two knobs but I can't always reproduce it. See below screenshot. I have just been crashing on those two here.

[funkster1]

The thing is IMHO, Reaper is really very sensitive regarding VSTi usage & tweaking. I can run most any VSTi here for a few days without any problem but then one minute later ANY VSTi can crash Reaper while tweaking any knob. I've had quite a few crashes already, always with different VSTi's and never under the same condition or reproducible.
Unfortunately :(

And I don't even try out heavy projects yet with Reaper. The biggest I had running was about 6-8 audio tracks (guitars & drums) and 2 or 3 VSTi's at the same time.

Raphael

[synth]

VST fx that have a "tempo" slider,such as the ones (Fruity xxxxx) included with FLStudio crash REAPER immediately after changing that slider.

funkster, this sums it up very well, Ive also found, adding FX during playback is not a good idea, I have one small project that locks up solid when I try to load my cakewalk compressor, (even with playback off), but opens and runs fine in other projects.
Perhaps reaper could use some kind of relief valve similar to Sonar's, whereby the audio engine shuts off when the load is too heavy, so as to avoid a crash....maybe...maybe not...

[pour the cure]

how are you guys using VST's?

thank you

so since reaper is free i can put the saved money into some nice softsynths.. bfd, trilogy..whatever!

[pour the cure]

is there a piano roll type feature for those of us who don't have a midi keyboard or anyway to plug it in anyway haha?

[Art Evans]

Insert > New Midi file
then Ctrl/alt/e to edit it (click to create notes).

There are some software keyboards out there - Google might find or watch this space...

[petramar]

REAPER crashes after pushing the 'Connect' button in MusicLab Drumtools PD. Which surely is a pity.

[sekim]

Native Instruments B4-II and B4 are working A-OK

[sekim]

DFH Superior is sort of working... It'll bounce to audio but ther is a major offset in the audio for some reason...

[sinkmusic]

*Edit:
Plugin is for NT-based systems... duh...
well that sucks hahaha

[sinkmusic]

I have been a bit quick in saying that Odo DrFusion2 was alright in Reaper (or maybe it is the new version with enhanced midi ?) :
yes, it works, but it slows everything a lot !
engaging / disabling the plugin takes more than 5 seconds, recording does not start immediatly...
Well, still not perfect ! ;)

edit : confirmed. Odo DrFusion makes Reaper be veeeeerrrrrry slow, and it crashed two times tonight.
It's such a pity, i love that drumsynth...

[sinkmusic]

The very recent Arcdev H4xxor brand-new freebie slicer does not load wavefiles in Reaper...
sh_t !

Edit : I was wrong : not a reaper problem, but a localization issue due to different versions of the plugin.
It works fine now and everybody should give a look at it !

(But I must say that i'm amazed by the ability of Reaper to handle automation enveloppes of vsti & vst... i had great fun tonight with it)

[sinkmusic]

I started to use Cyber FREE, as Reaper has no built-in sampler.
This nice sampler loads fine, and i can drag & drop samples from media explorer, but most of the time, after 3 samples loaded, if i try to load another one, the host freezes and then crashes.
(I tried to find the error report file, but i cold not, i don't know where it is hidden), but when i rade the error report, i rade a line dealing with "drag / drop error"...

[kLyon]

Microtonic isn't working.

[sinkmusic]

falke labs Stringer works like a charm.

[sinkmusic]

I don't know which one Reaper doesn't like, but sure he doesn't like the combination of Mjken chimera + Dasample Glaceverb...

[d. gauss]

Can't get organized trio (b3 simulator) to work in reaper. no sound output. http://www.soundfonts.it/

[scum]

I don't know which one Reaper doesn't like, but sure he doesn't like the combination of Mjken chimera + Dasample Glaceverb...

its chimaira, it gave me 666% of cpu use:)

[Art Evans]

Organised trio works fine here...

[d. gauss]

Organised trio works fine here...

hmmm. strange. organized trio and native b4 won't work for me.

example:

-insert prerecorded midi keyboard track into a reaper track.

-insert organized trio or b4 as the vsti.

-get no playback. HOWEVER...

track plays back if i use a diff Vsti like mda piano or mr. ray instead. ALSO...

B4 WILL make sounds IF i play a key with the mouse... BUT NOT from track playback OR remote midi keyboard. i.e. b4 & trio do not recognize my midi in. the other vsti's do.

B4 works fine in standalone mode and also as it should in Nuendo.

any ideas?

--update. after much futzing, i now can get organized trio to work but only for playback, not live. B4, no way though.

[Art Evans]

Maybe it's time for the "rename the reaper.ini file" trick. That does seem to resolve inexplicable problems sometimes, but if not, you can just put it back as it was.

[petramar]

any ideas?


I recognize the problem. Try to simply move the midi to another track, load the VSTi again and - here at least - it will finally produce sound, and Zeus may know why it kept silent on the original track. It is a strange bug, but easily solved, that may not have been reported before.

[d. gauss]

tired the reaper.ini rename. didn't work. will now try the suggested "move." (updated: it didn't work)

also noticed that live via external keys, i can record the .wav output of organized trio, but not the midi stream. very weird. again this is no problem in nuendo.

still nuthin' with the b4 unless i play the keys with the mouse.

[sinkmusic]

- Monolisa is ok.
- InsertPiz Mr Alias is fine too.

- Iblit works fine (but not the midi learn)...

[sinkmusic]

I play fine wince 15 minutes with latest 0,954 version and CyberFREE sampler.
Maybe it is REaper that got improved, maybe the samples i use now doesn"t make Cyber crash like the other days, but that's a good news to me !

edit : ARggggggh : just after having post the message, i tried to load a new sample in Cyber, and REaper jsut vanished ! !

[alex zonder]

Again I tried the "fully functional Preview-version of Sonicbytes Phrazor VSTi" ( http://www.kvraudio.com/get/2257.html ) but there was really nothing fuctional about it in REAPER; instead it made REAPER crash, may be because it crashed itself during its initial VST scan.

NB Since Phrazor's preview 5 it's running smoothly as a REAPER plugin. No problems anymore!

[fluffy]

Cyclone DXi doesn't work in Reaper.

[theddodger]

Anyone had any success with this beast.
With me it opens as expected, but attempt to load a patch and brrrr everything freezes.
Argh

[bobsled]

XWOF3 seems to work well with reaper0.957. My two most favorite things, gosh...(gets teary-eyed)...(moves on)...

[bobsled]

oops

that would be http://www.hgf-synthesizer.de/





yup...

[damon]

Can't get sp-202 (release with CM)

Can't get CM Vocoder to work.. won't scan properly, had to move the file
Same story for Wusikstation (CM Version)

Reaper is awesome, thanks a lot!

[-MattmaN-]

Shortcircuit free not working in .958,have had issues with this vsti since .955.

[sinkmusic]

And, could you use the "learn all" mode with Short Circuit ?

None of my plugins with a midi learn feature work in REaper...
(i mean Ambience reverb works, but not the midi learn, nothing happens when i hit "lear all" in Shortcircuit to assign samples to notes from my midi controller, etc.)

Which is the weirdest, is that the only plugin that REALLY make Reaper crash & vanish is CyberFREE, and it is the only plugin where the midi learn works !

ANd Odo's DrFusion2 has a lot of latency problems...

[amenbrother]

Emulator X2 Crashing and is generally shaky on the timing.

[sinkmusic]

Sknote Grainz is not even seen by Reaper... (well, the synth is still in beta, and is n't even seen in Live, but...)

[-MattmaN-]

Shortcircuit still seems to have issues. :(

[sinkmusic]

... so the question is like now : does anybody have a working sampler to use in Reaper (free or not, just to know) ?

If CyberFree & Shortcircuit hardly work.... we have to find another one

Image-Line's Direct Wave sampler works fine here.

[aMUSEd]

Hartman Neuron VS works in .960 - which is amazing :)

Only thing it doesn't do is I can't record automation (to record stick movements etc) but I think thats true of all instruments as yet??

Native Instruments KORE also loads and plays (except needs midi clock for some things to work).

i've been fiddling with VSampler in Reaper and it seems to work fine. Reaper has crashed with a BSOD twice when VSamper was running, but it's also worked several times without crashing, so it's hard to say what the cause of the meltdown was.

VSampler is pretty cool, btw, but it does have a bit of learning curve; an impressive-looking but confusing interface. Sonar users might already have this installed.

[sinkmusic]

Shortcircuit works fine as a slicer on my machine.

Wow, Alex !
Thank you for the info about Phrazor : it looks like a nice tool... :)
I'd like REaper handles all (as i always say...), but I'm such a VST geek I'll give this oe a try.
Seems to be amazing for cross-applications use.
But won't Ext do anything Phrazor does ?

[Jae.Thomas]

absynth works, but also sometimes it wont respond to the piano roll, and will only respond to clicking the keyboard on its gui.

[sinkmusic]

_ Sknote Grainz works now. And you should give it a try.

[-MattmaN-]

Shortcircuit free now works, as of 0.963!
Wooooooooooyeeeeaaaaaaahh!
Thanks Justin.

[ajs]

a classic of the free vsti products, the "mda piano" works beautifully in reaper UNTIL YOU PRESS THE RECORD BUTTON. :(

i guess some sounds are too great to have their souls captured in this way. :)

i hope this gets fixed.

I just discovered that it exists: a free synth called REAPER MADNESS. And yes, it works fine in REAPER, but it's only a must have for people who are raving mad about REAPER and those who expect to make a score once for a sleazy B-movie with loads of ketchup and a whole artillery of chainsaws.

Download at http://onlydover.org/ (see the synths list)

[SciFiArtMan]

Hello all. I'm new to the world of Reaper, well almost. The truth is I have yet to take the plunge, but I feel sure I'm going to give it a try. I 'm just coming from trying out Music Studio Producer, which was a fine DAW app except that it is so unstable, and I need all the stability I can get.

I've read all of the posts here, but seeing as there's a new version of Reaper (just out earlier this month) I thought I might ask about the functionality of some of my MUST HAVE VSTi's, and a few non-essentials, but faves.

Must Have VSTi:
Synth1 VST v1.07
Mellowsound v1.0
Drumatic 3 v1.0
DR-Fusion 2 v1.0

Fave VSTi:
GTG SF-Synth 3
VB-1 v1.0
MiniMogue VA 1.0
Superwave P8 v1.0
EVM UltraSonique
EVM Grand Piano
Cygnus 2
GCBS GTR Synth
ERS Drums
Nantron

Also VST EFX:
Guitar Suite
Classic Series
Baxxpander
Freeverb 2
Freeamp
JVM 900

I know some of these have been commented on previously, but I was wondering about possible changes in status since the new version of Reaper. Great to see a forum like this! Thanks.

PS - I need a good free B3 Organ VSTi, and if it would work well within Reaper - all the better!

Hi SciFIArtman, and welcome aboard.
Glad you enjoy Odo's DrFUsion2, as i made many sounds and presets for it.
But DrFusion 2 has very bad latency in Reaper (at least on my mahcine), and gives lag.
Does it work fine on your computer ?

[SciFiArtMan]

Hey SinkMusic, I only discovered DR-Fusion a few nights ago and the only app I've tried it in is Music Studio Producer, which was so buggy it was hard to tell WHAT was crshing it. But the latency was bad on loading and iffy on recording. But I really like the sounds and general possibilities in DR-Fusion. It could be better (like a tone control on each sample), but overall a nice VSTi. If I can't use it in Reaper I've GOT to find something similar!

I absolutely HAVE to use Synth1 and Mellowsound! If Reaper can't use these I'mm going to have to try something else, and that doesn't leave much.

Thanks for the welcome.

DrFUsion2 works fine in many hosts (not in REaper) ;
And as you have hipass, lopass filters, and also tune/pitch control, it looks like you can have some kind of tone control :)

But Reaper is fine in handling many VSTI, the latency/lag issue might be due to the large amount of samples embedded in DrFUsion2 's DLL.
(and REaper is still beta)

[SciFiArtMan]

...the latency/lag issue might be due to the large amount of samples embedded in DrFUsion2 's DLL.

Yea, it's a shame the large body of samples couldn't be in a support folder as there are only a dozen or so samples that really appeal to me in each category. That way each user could trim the bulk of the DLL (from 27mb) for their own use, thereby optimizing it's overall utility.

Also it could use more toms slots and cymbal slots, but that's another story.

So the answer then (obviously), might be to use another good sample player and only load the samples you need. I just gotta have real sounding drums (as well as the 909 variety, sometimes).

[sinkmusic]

Weird.
COUld any helpful ppl could tell if with latest version (0968) they can load sound by drag&dropping into CYberFREE sampler ?
(from the media explorer or from TRackybrowser)

In previous versions, i remember i could do that, and today i can't. weird.
(anyway, CyberFREE used to crash after 4 samples loaded... !)

[amenbrother]

Emulator x2 seems to working better know. Will try to program a nice break to see how good it actually works.

[Jae.Thomas]

Im going to add fxpansions BFD to the "non-working" list due to the fact that it takes at least 100 percent more cpu than other programs.

Neither CyberFree nor Paax3 loaded samples via drag&drop, I hadn't actually tried either of those plugs in Reaper until now (for what it's worth). What something in particular does CyberFree do for you in Reaper's environment? I didn't notice keyboard-split regions, stuff like that...much of the CyberFree GUI looked like stuff that I would be tweaking per sample just within Reaper. Just curious...and probably missing the obvious;)

By the way...does anyone know of Acoussmodules Pentaphonizer and how it might differ so greatly from many of the fine, fine plugs HelpDesk has been frissoning-out on lately...and if this is an area best explored with freeware in mind until 5.1 and/or ac3 is just part of Reaper goodness...

Well, Cyber FREE is the only (with Iblit) plugin where Midi learn works in REaper, and it is very useful to define lowest note / highest note / root note, adn as a drumsampler, it is an awesome feature ! then you can layer samples, etc.
The ADSR envelopes and mod env are nice, it is low cpu, loads mono & stereo samples, etc.
You can put many samples (most drumsaplers - execept loopazoid- only accept 8 to 12 slots) ;
That makes enough reasons to me to wishs it work !
If Shortcircuit Free had more polyphony, Cyber FREE wouldn't have been needed, but at this stage, Cyber FREE looks like one of the best free drumsamplers at the moment.

I have used these days to test most of the VST instruments that are in my folder. Most of them are free ones and are widely used in today's audio hosts. My approach was to try every control, automating, midi note sending (no midi cc because of limited possibilities in this area for now) and saving plugin state in song. Last part proved most problematic for most plugins. Of course, some issues here may be a specific problem of that particular vsti. Tested with a version 0.976

conclusion is simple: full bank save support isn't working at all in reaper in current version for any vsti that doesen't have it's own system for saving and loading presets. Plugins with this feature are Abakos, Synth1 and Karmasynth.
Most of other instruments work fine if you are using only one preset, but problems start when you have to works with two or more preset in same vsti instance, or when plugin use presets for storing different information needed for plugin operation (liveslice). Of course, one preset plugins works as expected.

There are also problems in general when you must use right button in fx editing window, but thats the same with all fx for now.
I have just two sugestions: routing via mixer is to slow, because to route one vst to multiple outputs you have to click just too much times, and if that vsti have many outputs, you are in trouble. My idea is simple: i/o menu can stay selected until you are happy with your routings, or maybe holding ctrl or alt key can invoke that behaviour. Also, holding shift can select first to last clicked mixer destinations.
There is a problem with midi saving when exiting program. It should prompt if there are some unsaved midi edits.

(edit) best solution for using multiple presets is to use internal vst/vsti saving scheme in Reaper...

cyberfree - works

How did you load samples in it ?
How many samples could you load ?
On my machine, it crashes since 4 samples are loaded..... :(

[kejkz]

I loaded a presaved kit, maybe that was a problem, i should go from ground up.
I will try now to see what hapens

[Art Evans]

Some painstaking research there!

i/o menu can stay selected until you are happy with your routings, or maybe holding ctrl or alt key can invoke that behaviour. Excellent suggestion - indeed the current behaviour does slow things up considerably.

[kejkz]

@sinkmusic: I tried cyberfree again, from ground up, loading a bunch of wavs, made three programs with different sample types and playng them with no problems. I just can't crash it.

@Art Evans: thank you, i have just scratched the surface, when i got time i will do same thing for free fx (and maybe some commercial ones, if lucky).

Ok.
how do you load the wave files, then ?
Maybe i do it the wrong way.

[kejkz]

Just rightclicking on cyberfree interface and selecting "add sample" from menu. Drag'n'drop doesen't work.

Ok, you're right !
I have spent many hours finding out how to import samples (never tried that right-click on the GUI), and someone told me i just ad to drag & drop. But drag&dropping doesn't work in Reaper.

THank you a lot !

EDIT :
No, it doesn't work : loaded 4 samples = crashing reaper :(

maybe it is recognized as Container-synthedit and the 'better buggy Vst compatibility mode' should be on.

[billybk1]

I just tried ToonTracks, EZ Drummer (1.01), for the first time, in Reaper(.994). It scans and registers, but when I open the VSTi GUI nothing happens. In all other VSTi compatible host apps (ACID Pro 6, SONAR 5.2, Project 5 2.0 etc....), as soon as you select and open the GUI, the drum samples start to auto load, so you can you the VSTi. In Reaper, the EZD GUI just sits there non-responsive. One thing I noticed, in the listed VSTi name properties it lists the EZD, as "dhf drum sampler", when it should be "ez drummer". Maybe Reaper is not scanning it correctly.

Cheers,

Thing here is, however, that if REAPER would not support all sorts of (free) VSTi's that ARE supported by other DAWS, it will piss off a LOT of folks. That is, I guess, where these reports are for.

[Odin]

Kontakt2 solution (tried with v2.1.0.006) for the not opening GUI:
Use the DXi version.
Copy the not opening instance and paste it below.
GUI of this instance opens correctly.
Delete the first instance.

Update: does not work with v2.1.0.006! Output settings can't be adjusted.
At the moment we have to use K2 versions prior v2.1

Update: WORKS with v2.1.1.001 !!!

I just tried ToonTracks, EZ Drummer (1.01), for the first time, in Reaper(.994). It scans and registers, but when I open the VSTi GUI nothing happens. <snip> In Reaper, the EZD GUI just sits there non-responsive.
I have this problem as well. However, after inserting another track with another VSTi, a bass guitar which loads correctly, I then click PLAY to see if anything works. There's bass but no drums. I open up the FX window with EZdrummer and suddenly it starts loading the soundbank! When finished I hit PLAY again and everything works. Strange indeed. Unfortunately it's the same deal if you save the song and open it up later. No save of multi-out state as well.

UPDATE: The above seems only to work in that particular song. I've tried to re-create this in other songs but it's no go. When I tried to save an ezdrummer fxp or fxb in the working song I got the following error: Error saving file - error: effect didn't support saving opaque state

EZdrummer is the ONLY drumplugin I use so please fix this soon! Or maybe it's something Toontrack has to deal with?

Well, when scanning plugins in Podium it reports EZdrummer as DFH Drum Sampler or something like that so I guess it depends on how it's named inside...:confused:

Hey Serendipity, I think I found the secret handshake to get the EZD and probably other drum samplers, like BFD, to autoload, in Reaper. ;)

Check this out:

1)Create a new Reaper project
2)Ctrl + T ....to create a new track
3)Extend the bottom, of the track, so you see the meter
4)Click the "Cycle Input Monitoring Mode" to "On". Just click once.
5)Click the "Rec In" button and select "Record: Disble(input monitoring only)"
6) Arm the Track Record (So it turns RED)It should now say "Monitoring,not recording:", in the meter box.
7) Click the "FX" button to bring up the Plugin Chooser
8) Double click on "Dfh Sampler"

The EZD GUI will appear and the default drum kit will autoload, in seconds!

SHWEET!

One Caveat:

It seems the track record button needs to be enabled, in order to auto-load the samples and/or audition the kit and MIDI files. It would be nice not to have to enable the track "Record" button, in order to audition the EZD though. I have not figured a way around that. Only host that I know of that requires that.

Also, in this configuration, if you save a project with the EZD VSTi plugin shell open and then open the saved project later, it will auto load, for you too. Otherwise, you will need to first click the "FX" button to open the EZD GUI. :)

I like the way I can drag & drop my ToonTrack & Groove Monkey EZD MIDI drum files, onto the Reaper timeline drum track, from the Groove Librarian and they automatically become loopable and auto adjust and align perfectly to the measure, to whatever tempo I have the project set at. Just point, click & drag, dang it really is that EZ!

Cheers,

Billy Buck

P.S. I swapped out the drums, with EZD, in the "Look & Feel" Reaper demo, now the drums sound BRW! (Big, Real & Wicked!) :D

Now of course, before you do any recording, you need to disable the EZD track record button!
<snip>
Also, in this configuration, if you save a project with EZD and then re-open later, it will auto load, for you too. Once you click "On" the track record button and then click the "FX" button to open the EZD GUI. :)

Yeah, either you have to save the project with the track record button armed or arm the track for recording each time you open the project and then open the FX for the kit to load. Unfortunately, It doesn't save the multi-out state I always use with the kit pieces on separate tracks. Major bummer!

About the automatic looping...sorry this, together with automatic crossfades DRIVES ME FRACKING CRAZY!!!;)
I NEVER use loops and I NEVER use crossfades...EVER! All I want to do is insert an empty midi item which I then can extend however long I want it, without it starting to repeat itself all over the project at the time of insertion. I mean c'mon, give me a break here!:rolleyes:

Hey mate, I love that is does that automatically. Between, the EZD & Groove Monkey MIDI loops, I must have over 12,000, in the EZD Groove Librarian. As a longtime user, of ACID Pro, I would not have it any other way. :D

Maybe you can make a suggestion to Justin to make the auto-looping, an option. To either enable or disable, from the Preferences|Media tab. You know you can also, click on your MIDI file (to highlight), once it is in your project, press "F2" and deselect the "Loop Source" option.

There is an icon, at the upper left, of the screen that will disable auto-crossfades.

i was just checking out reaper and i tried using TL audio EQ1 vst on a guitar track.

I adjusted the Hi-freq gain control up and it just screamed at me. like a constant hi-frequency squeal.

This was nearly painful and i've not seen this in sonar. I think i'll wait til this is sorted ;)

Kind regards

Dave Rich

[OldGeezer]

Hi there. First off, I'm really impressed with what's going on here!

I'm a Sonar user who currently works exclusively with Kontakt2, but I'm having stability issues running it in DXI and Sonar's VST adapter will not send program changes (for instrument banks)to K2 in VST mode, so I'm looking for an alternative host.

Anyways, I tried loading K2 into Reaper, and wether in DXI or VST mode, only a part of K2's GUI is fitting into the allotted space. Is this a known issue or is it because I'm stuck using a measly 1024x768 max LCD monitor?

Thanks

Rob

Edit: Crap on a cracker! How embarassing...I missed the float option. Am going to start testing it out now.

Edit 2: Preliminary test result: Yeah baby! It not only runs Kontakt 2, but it actually does program changes in VST mode! I could never get that to work in Sonar with K2. So far, Reaper is blowing my little mind!

[Ian E]

In .996, Manytone's ManyGuitar is working fine. I'm using the Ultimate Bass Kit and playing some funky bass. All is well.

However, in .997, when I play with the ManyGuitar the sound is crackling (almost like bad AM radio), out of tune, and harmonics are coming from I don't know where!

I reverted back to .996 and everything was back to normal. So I will use this version primairly until the bug is resolved!

Thank you!

P.S. I tried the restore factory defaults option before reverting back to .996!

UPDATE: .998 fixes this problem! Thank you!

From a pal: when he records a "drum" track with Groove Agent(a vst "drum machine")in Reaper and renders it as wav or mp3, it never burns as he set it. In fact,it is almost always a drastically different rhythm than he set; same GA "kit" and "style", so same sounds as he hears during setup, but the rendered rhythm itself is crazy herky-jerky. Anyone have any idea what might be happening? Thanks in advance.

Well, thanks to Justin adding the "Run FX when stopped" option, in the Audio Preferences, you no longer have to go through, of that nonsense, in my above quote, once the option is enabled (it is disabled by default). Now all you have to do is:

Hey Serendipity,
I see you use a TonePort UX1. FYI, in case you are not aware, Line 6 will be releasing the GearBox 2.0 update, to the masses this week. This is a big update (about a 60MB download, but also free), that will include a lot of new features and enhancements (a new Browser View with programmable Metronome, access to GuitarPort online, Tonelocker, Player Module), improved GUI, improved Control Panel, new "Help" menu item (to access a 150+ manual) and even few new guitar amp & cab models. GearBox 2.0 will also give TonePort users the ability to add on the new Bass Model Pack, as well.
Also, in the Fall, TonePort users will be able to upgrade (for a fee) GearBox 2.0, to allow it's use, as a VST plugin, in your favorite host app! Now we can re-amp with that great Line 6 tone. :D

Cheers,

For the record, I'm having Kontakt 2 problems as well. I tried the DXi copy-paste trick and the GUI does show up, but unless I'm missing something there's no way to route the plugin's outputs, and the REAPER UI becomes unresponsive until Kontakt is removed. Using one of the Kontakt 2 VSTi's I can map outputs but can't access the GUI :/ This is with REAPER 1.01 and K2 2.1.1.

It simply solved the problem. Amazing!

And now it wouldn't even amaze me if ALL non-working vst(i)'s would start functioning in REAPER when loaded in Acon's Chainer... Do give it a try! :)

A couple year's ago Computer Music had a disk that had the NS Kit drum samples on it, and some midi loops for it. Today I loaded up the NS Kit sf2 in Take 1, and dumped a midi loop from the CM disk into the channel. It played, but the mapping was wrong. Then I saw that CM had a kit mapped for their DS 404 sample player. I loaded that up in Reaper but as soon as you click on anything, Reaper stops responding. If you go to taskmanager and stop Reaper, there are apparently two instances of Reaper running. Once it ends, you have to restart because the soundcard is locked up. It also looks like the Reaper process is still running.

That's the Reaper-related bug report. After that, I loaded DS 404 and the midi file into Minihost and then into FL Studio. In both programs the virtual keyboard plays the samples (you can hear them if you click the mouse on them), and the midi file plays the vitual keys (they move), but no sound is triggered by playing the midi file. I can't figure that out.

Ok,
Last time I tried Reaper it crached when using Emulator X2. Does anyone know if Reaper still cant handle EX2 or is ok to try Reaper more seriously?
Seems like Emu X2 works better now. Reaper still crash sometimes, but I cant say it because of Emulator X2.

[Andywanders]

A few posts have said that Drumatic 3 works fine, well yes and no. I can't save or load individual drum sounds in Drumatic's own format from within Reaper.

Galatix doesn't work - just makes a really loud, nasty noise when loaded. Beware..!

Waves plugins (various from Platinum Bundle) work fine for a while, then Reaper freezes - 'this program is not responding' - but the music continues (...and the band played on). It would be nice if that was fixed, they cost me an arm-and-a-leg.

So far I have had no problems with any Synthedit plugs... ;-)

Ah, very weird indeed - but I just worked out what the problem is. The load/save icons in the Drumatic 3 GUI will only work in REAPER under one of two conditions:

1. If a MIDI keyboard is selected as the Track Input and the Track is record-armed.

2. If the option Always run track FX is selected under Options > Preferences > Audio (it is disabled by default).

I have no idea why this works .... but it does. One of REAPER's little quirks. ;)

Heh. :) The "Always run track FX " bit is in the Manual, but the problem with this option is that there are lots of plug-ins that don't need it, and there's no way to draw up a list that would cover the situation for each available plug-in (well, no easy way at least).

Ah - contrary to popular belief, SFZ isn't quite working correctly as with 2 processes and two threads (and two instances) it falls foul of the Render FX ahead bug - and results in MASSIVE MASSIVE MASSIVE amounts of noise. I almost died today but at least I've discovered why. :)

[Art Evans]

I've just been trying the Casio VL-Tone VSTi emulation recently announced on KvR, and it works ridiculously well - it's an exact emulation of that odd device (I have one in the cupboard - now there's a confession), including its "one key play" facility. So in the VSTi, you can put the Casio into record mode, play the notes with the mouse on its keyboard regardless of tempo, then switch to play mode, record output in Reaper, and click the mouse on the "one key play" buttons in the right tempo. The notes you recorded come out in the right order and pitch. The original hardware version worked exactly like that. But I wonder whether this is a system that could be built right into Reaper?? Is this "step recording"? I'm not much into midi.

Got a link, Art?

[Art Evans]

Ok, you caught me being lazy - http://www.polyvalens.com/vl1/ has it. Perhaps you have to be familiar with the original to fully appreciate how damn clever this VSTi is. You also have to be ready to overlook the sound which is very faithful to the original pretty nasty sound of a VLTone. I have an idea that someone used one for a one-hit-wonder release way back - anyone remember??

Especialy happy with Synthogy, which is a memory and cpu hog.
I did my first render with the Boessendorfer Imperial Grand 10 Layer sample set with 64 voices polyphonic.
I never managed this on Cubase or Sonar because the 8 Layer version with 32 voices would run out of memory.
On Reaper I had 200-300MB left with the 10 Layer set so I probably can push it a little more with the voices.

Render and Live playback are spot on, not a missed note.
Actually, it feels tighter then I'm used too.

Great!

Hi,
Still going on about my Emulator X2 problems.
It would be really nice to get this working properly, cause of the excellent filters in there.

As of 1.805:
- Loads as VSTi without problems.
- After loading in an Emulator patch, all of Reaper runs really slowly - takes some seconds to respond to mouse clicks.
- Emulator patches are not saved with Reaper project file. When you reload a project, Reaper reloads the VSTi, but without the patch.
- On closing Reaper after working on a project with the EmuX2, Reaper crashes when shutting down, offers to send an error message to Microsoft.

We live in hope! So pleased with the midi type 1 import, this would the icing...

[Stringer]

Imageline Sytrus VSTi or Dxi prevents Reaper from loading. During plugin scan it says "Reaper has a problem and has to go into the corner and throw up." Uninstalling Sytrus puts everything to rights again. I'd be nice to use Sytrus in Reaper. It makes some nice sounds. I could load rewire FL Studio I guess.

Some changes Justin made seemed to sort out my Emulator X2 problems. But I just tried it on the other desktop of my dual boot machine, and it still crashes Reaper (1.815) on closing, if it's loaded into the current project. Apart from that, all seems OK.

Q: is there a Reaper setting file I can try copying from my good desktop to my bad desktop, to see if it's just a Reaper setting that's different? Or is it all written to the registry somewhere?

EDIT - ignore me, a reboot seems to have fixed it..

This is the first plugin that I have used that actually crashed Reaper! Has anyone gotten it to work?

"KerrStinn is a slicer, glitcher and loop dissector. KerrStinn changes your loops randomly by moving slices of it around and/or applying effects to the slices according to rules that Shuriken call "generators". It is sort of an automatic controllable recallable loop slicer."

I just tried this for Shuriken KerrStinn plugin, and it still did not work. I think it is a buggy plugin though, not really a Reaper issue.

I also found another plugin that Reaper doesn't like: Betabugs' Git a Blitch Jr. When loading Reaper, it chokes on it, but Reaper still loads fine. It doesn't subsequently show up in the plugin list. It is an audio/midi plugin, though I don't know if it has anything to do with it. I haven't had any problems with other Betabugs plugins, though I think they are written by different developers...

Hello!

I discover "Dr Fusion 2" and I really like this drummachine.

Unfortunately, there is some problems like
-"harsh" sound sometimes (one or 2 per minutes, maybe):
the kind of noises we have before when we stopped to play a song or when we moved the cursor during playback, a sound like " gggzziii!! ". I don't have this one with another VSTi.., just Dr Fusion 2

- a crash of reaper, but don't know if there is a link with this VSTi


Maybe it could be interesting to try to switch "Options/prefs/audio/'Always run track fx'??
Maybe it will solve pb : I read something about that option, just somes minutes ago, but now i'm at work and i can't test ;) and I will also be pleased to have feed-back.

Maybe, You can help be: Is there another free drummachine like Dr Fusion 2, which works better on REAPER??

It a pity the dll of Dr Fusion 2 contains all the samples, I read sometimes in this thread saying that it's wasn't a good point. I try another Odo vsti :livetweaker, but I don't like this one :-/ I "feel more comfortable" with Dr Fusion 2

Hi,

I've found that after loading a song with E-MU Proteus X 1.5 in a track slot Reaper hangs when trying to open the FX chain. (I'd buy a better bloody software Rompler but with recovering financially from a lengthy and costly illness in the family right now it isn't an option.)

+1 on Sylenth 1. This excellent souding subtractive synth is gaps and gltiches frequently in Reaper, most commonly for me at or near when the Reaper timeline scrolls.

Sylenth is known to have this issue in several hosts, though, and apparently ithas been traced to the Synthedit GUI, with they plan to replace "soon."

It works better if you wrap it in the VSTi rack software Chainer, and LennarDigital now offers Chainer at half it's usual price, which seems to me a bit too much like acquiescence...

The M-Audio Key Rig won't play back the correct sound when re-loading a saved project with a Key Rig patch. This is peculiar to the piano module and synth module in Key Rig--the organ and GM modules re-load fine. Upon loading a saved project, a piano module patch will play back a full-volume square wave rendering of the MIDI data, and the synth module will not play back any sound. In both cases, the GUI shows that the saved sounds and setting are loaded, but they aint!

FWIW, I went through this with M-Audio and they said that they haven't had this problem with any host except Reaper.

Nusofting DK+ works, but with one flaw: the GUI is set up so that you can hit the drums using mouseclicks as well as the midi notes. If you mouseclick on the drum ~ 2 or three times in rapid succession it crashes Reaper. So long as you do not do that you're fine. I've now used DK+ in Reaper for hours at a time without problems, but if I click on a drum 3 times quickly, well, that ends my session.

I have not been able to use Midi Senderella at all.

Tablet2MIDI doesn't work.

Oh yeah, Acidicide Sweet Girl EQ. :) I haven't been able to get Reaper to recognize it. I have his other plugs and they all work fine. "Sweet 78" Sweet Girl is the one from the 2006 KVR Challenge.

Reaper has shown the best compatibility with the greatest number of plugins, with perhaps the greatest stability so far. If I can think of another plugin that hasn't worked I'll mention it.

If you really, really want a vst to work in Reaper and it doesn't, maybe try using eXT VST or VSTI as a wrapper. It worked with DK+ until I could figure out how to get it working in Reaper.

It seems that for all three VSTi from D16 (http://www.d16.pl), the internal sequencer mode ("seq int.") doesn't work in Reaper 2.017. That is, the patterns won't play when starting playback in Reaper. On the other hand, plugins like

do work correctly.

Anyone can confirm this?

Are you using the demo versions?

Are you using the demo versions?

Yes. In case you wonder, I'm aware of the 1 hour usage limit, these were fresh installations.

This VST works perfectly but only if you set the opacity to 100%, otherwise it's unusable because it makes the FX chain window unreadable.

I get occasional crashes with the free DSK Elektrik Keyz VSTi, when there’s more than one instance. It’s fine when there’s only one. But I’d like to have multiple instances so I can easily switch between different keyboard tracks to see which work best.

It’s a pain to just work with one instance, but I’m sticking with it because I really like the sound of the free DSK VSTi's.
