Hi. I am interested in this editor but my OS is still 10.8.5 as I use Protools 10… moving to PT 11 or 12 would remove quite a few plug ins… guess that day is coming soon

how ever my work around is to program the user setting on the iPhone then connect the instrument to protools, then start protools… if I remove the instrument to re program it … protools will not re-enstate the instrument on midi… so i need to restart protools…

I am having a good time learning what the instrument is best at…

Hi! Have you tried to install the Mac Preset Editor on OSX 10.8.5? We have not tested this but it may very well work just fine.

#14

Hi… yes I tried… It just sits there with a question mark…

#15

I will check with the development team if there is maybe a workaround.

I’ve got Staff Picks working in Kontakt 5.6.1 in Live 9.7 on OS X 10.11.5.

Multi-channel is on, but notes from all strings go to the first instrument in the rack. I’ve tried various Staff Picks racks and presets.

Robert, this is unfortunately a restriction Ableton Live. In Ableton, the midi channel information is filtered out in the track. In other DAWs like Logic or Bitwig studio this is handled correctly but for Ableton we can only wait for an update, use single channel mode, or build a session with 6 tracks with midi channels 2- 7 assigned as input channels.

Arrgh. Same problem I encountered before with the QuNexus. Then this isn’t much use to me. Can I return it for a refund?

Robert, please contact [email protected] via email about a refund. Thank you!
