VST Live Pre-Release 2.1.27 is online

Ho @Spork ,

I tried on a new project it works normally, it’s just in my big old project the automation on mixer inserts don’t work, even recording automation don’t receive it… strange, I never noticed because previous automations is made thru virtual midi and actions.

No prob, I’ll use alternative methods for now,

I wonder if there is a way to “reset” an old project beginning from scratch, to clean possibly corrupted save file. Maybe saving locally each song, then creating a new project and import all the songs back ?

Cheers, Ciro.

… is there a chance that I could access to the project? Then we could analyse the problem? PM me, if you like.

/Michael.

automatic inserts started working with the preliminary version 2.1.26 appeared in the selection menu VST Live 2.1.26 Pre-Release is online
and therefore I think the best way would be to remove the automation tracks from the old project and create them again.
Better yet, wait for the next preliminary update, they’ll fix another bug regarding automation. 2.1.27 Bugs - #5 by Spork
And now just check at least one track of the old project’s automation without deleting everything at once.

On this topic.
On windows I can get VSTL to slave via MTC to another DAW(Nuendo) sending MTC thru a virtual MIDI port. But if receive MTC is routed on VSTL, then it automatically receives MTC and follows the Master transport.
It will be great if there is a toggle switch like Cubase/Nuendo which will enable or Activate the listen to for TC/MTC and then only follow the transport.
@Spork @musicullum In a future release, will it be possible receive MIDI clock/LTC and slave to MIDI clock/LTC as well?
Which would be more accurate in terms of sync? MTC or MIDI Clock?

Midi Clock: Most probably not, sorry. LTC: possibly, but that is a completely different thing, and devices producing LTC almost always also produce MTC, which is essentially the same thing, as opposed to MIDI Clock.

Meanwhile connecting points/peers with arbitrary long audio cable to get sync is sooo convinient and practically-latency-free compared to MIDI cables (or rtpMIDI) :slight_smile:

Same problem on Mac M1 16Gb Ram, VST Live Pro 2, 2.1.27.256, Mac OS 14.7.2

Hi @armando398,

… the broken Time-Display and the MTC Input has been fixed for the next Pre-Release 2.1.28 which is coming tomorrow. Please give it a try,
Michael.

If I’m not mistaken, MIDI Clock does not carry any absolute positional reference. Just has info of Bar count TS and stuff and is tempo based.

MTC is the MIDI equivalent of LTC and carries absolute positional reference and is stripped of any Bar/beat/start data.

Correct. There are Song Pointer messages which carry position information. MIDI Clock itself sends 24 messages per quarter and from that, the receiver needs to figure out what the tempo might be.

MTC/LTC, because MIDI Clock is quite inaccurate, as numeric tempo information is not included in the stream.

Hi @Spork or @musicullum ! Could you please give me a hint how to trigger MediaPlayer via MIDI track?

Here is what checked w.o. success:

  • Goto Actions… find GlobalModule, add row
    ROW NOT ADDED for further adjustments
  • Goto Modules to add row, ROW NOT ADDING.
  • Tried with Automation track, …
  • Opened a save of another Actions section hoping to modify with code editor… to customise it for GlobalModule but… :smiley: :smiley:
  • Quicks are activated for learning (via MIDI trk - VM) but can’t get the MIDICC received by the module QC

How to assign these “Quick $” actions?
Could you please help me with a hint? Need to solve this till 27th (+28th)
Would appreciate any trick :slight_smile:
:slight_smile:

UPD: seems like a bug. Things are working on MAC correctly, I can add “empty” lines to Actions/GlobalModules, so I’ve ricked it out: created actions via MAC, Save/Load on Win,
Half Bingo :slight_smile:

But, what do I’m missing to do to make it working?

(willing to start two different modules in two different times)

Hi,

… arg, yes. Sorry, that’s a bug and it’s fixed. Please try again with the next Pre-Release.

… that’s working for me.

  1. Start VL, New Project
  2. Select MODULES and add Module
  3. Load Media Player
  4. Open “Menu / Devices / Actions and Shortcuts …”
  5. Select “Module” Tab and make sure the Module from [2] is selected
  6. Add the “+” control to a add a new action

… what am I missing?

… the “Media Player” does not have a MIDI Input Port. So you cannot control it directly with a MIDI Track. You would need to use a MIDI cable.

In this example the MIDI Track is connected to “VM Out 2” and the Action for “Quick1” is receiving on “VM In 2”. The Action is a C2 Note to trigger “Quick1” which is triggering “Play” of the “Media Player”.

Yes! That’s what missing. We are trying to get it implemented for the next Pre-Release.

… and? Does it work? Sounds like an adventure :slight_smile:

Let’s look to this screenshot

I’ve created a MIDI-CC entry (CC20) to pos 2.1. Rewinded Transport to Pos 1.1, Made Quick1 ready to Learn and started the Transport. The Action learned it

The next Pre-Release will be released 27/12/2024

See you,
Michael.

… maybe my last post will help?

/Michael.

So, adding ROW it’s working on MAC, not in WIN .

Thank you for your detailed explanation.
Despite of your step-by-step that is similar with my settings in my question (using just different CC’s…)… Can’t figure it out.
After adding row to WIN (by save/reload from MAC), “LEARN” working ,
but still can’t fire “Module PLAY”

I feel really bad… usually that kind of things are easy peasy things to me from all apects… can’t figure out what am I missing to do.

So here nothing obvious problem, that might be wrong, or?

that moment I will perform already :smiley:

… for the records. I’ve talked offline with @fkalmus. It’s not working for him because the fix I’ve mentioned earlier is needed here, too.

See you,
Michael.

Also having a similar issue here! Cant seem to trigger the module - but I also cant seem to add a row in ‘actions and shortcuts → global module’ for my global video module.

When I turn on the supervision plugin, Cubase turns off, and help me, what should be the fault?

Hi @Nikoloz_Bolokadze , Supervision plugin is not available for VSTLive, therefore you might drop tis question to the corresponding forum category.

pls turn to the Cubase forum, this is for VST Live.
