Please allow us to hear the audio transmitted over a usb cable from the Montage to the PC. Yamaha advertises audio over usb but that is not the entire story. One currently needs to have speakers coming out of the Montage in order to hear the sound being played. The DAW can “hear” the audio being transmitted as it can record the incoming audio. However the Windows PC speakers cannot. this is strange. However the Stenberg asio driver works fine with vst plugins and we can hear those in the DAW as expected. But not the Montage. If this cannot be improved upon I would like to understand why that is what is the problem?
I can get it working with asio4all but would prefer the Steinberg driver to handle it all. Asio4all has 1 big limitation. While using it in the daw it is exclusive. Meaning we also cannot open up a youtube and watch it at the same time
also once I turn off the Montage I have to switch asio driver as it wont work correctly without the Montage being on because I toggled it “on” under Asio4all settings. Once the Montage is turned off, the sound crackles or skips playing other vsts.
So basically there is no one asio driver solution to make this all work with low latency. I would encourage exploration into what Elektron has done with Overbridge to show that a hardware device can transmit audio into the DAW and it sounds great.
