Little Phatty VST Editor Setup in Ableton
Little Phatty VST Editor Setup in Ableton
I cant get the LP Stage II to behave well in Ableton at the moment. I was having trouble with sending MIDI data to the LP so I went ahead and bought the VST Editor. Unfortunately it isn't working. I can get the Moog to play but I cannot get the VST editor to work. Can anyone help me out with this (preferably using the Ext. Instruments plugin for Ableton to avoid using many tracks in my sequencer)?
Thanks for your help! Excited to be a part of the Moog family!

Hi, are you using Ableton Live on Mac or PC? There's a new ac version that seems to work quite well in Ableton; the new PC version is still buggy and not ready for release.
Using the current version, you should be able to do most things in Live on PC... set up one track with Ext. Instrument for your Phatty, then a second MIDI track for the VST Editor.
Using the current version of the VST Editor you may need a third MIDI track just to route MIDI in and out, as in this screen shot:
You might be able to create a Rack to host all these tracks, and then save the Rack for use in future projects. That could save some screen space, too.
Cheers,
Amos

Re: Little Phatty VST Editor Setup in Ableton
I have the same problem.
The editor works also for the Slim Phatty, doesnt it ?
@ Amos
So you have an "External instrument" on your track "2 MIDI" ?
I use Live 8.2.1 on Windows 7 64 Bit.
My slim phatty is connected via USB and I have created the setup like you.
On "2 MIDI" I have created an "External Instrument" that is configured as:
MIDI To: Slim Phatty
Audio From: Analog IN [5] auf my audio interface
Everything works fine... I can play the phatty and get the sound...
As soon as I select "1-VST Little Phatty Editor" for the MIDI From drop down menu of "2 MIDI" track - I cannot play the moog anymore.

Re: Little Phatty VST Editor Setup in Ableton
i am able to send data to the little phatty correctly (i.e. i can change the cutoff freq. via the software); however, i am unablet to recieve patch information from the LP. so every time i open up the editor it looks like a blank patch. the "get patch" feature does not really work. also, the way it is integrated into ableton is very annoying. i cannot configure the MIDI control in ableton to automate any of the parameters! this renders the VST editor almost useless for my purposes. any one have any ideas?

How would we go about obtaining the new version for the Mac? I can't seem locate an update anywhere on the Moog or Rekon Audio site.Amos wrote:Hi, are you using Ableton Live on Mac or PC?

+1 What Orion says...
Peace, love and flowers...
There have been recent posts on the Ableton Forum regarding this issue... Maybe we should get some kind of petition together regarding this..?orion wrote:How would we go about obtaining the new version for the Mac? I can't seem locate an update anywhere on the Moog or Rekon Audio site.

I'm kinda annoyed to see myself type this, but way to drop the ball moog.
Hiring someone to make a VST that doesn't support one of the most widely used DAWs available? I don't know the state of affairs of other analog synths and how they utilize interaction with a computer but mere competition alone should not be used as a benchmark in how you set the standards for your own product.

Re: Little Phatty VST Editor Setup in Ableton
Any news on a version that works with Ableton on Windows? Glad I read up about this before buying it. Trying to test, troubleshoot, and get it to work with this demo dialogue popping up every 30 seconds is driving me mad though.
