This will be instant and completely seamless. eg: in Omnisphere and Kontakt (not sure with Keyscape) you can load different instruments on different MIDI channels and then switching your MIDI Channels to switch sounds. Whereever possible I recommend leaving Entire Bank behaviour off and not switching presets and using MIDI routing to do sound switching. When switching presets on plugins that use “ Pseudo Presets”.When using States and the “Entire Bank” behaviour is selected for that plugin.When the plugin is first loaded (obviously).Cantabile will tell the plugin to load it’s entire bank in the following situations: If that’s a bug and can be fixed then it will simplify the whole setup for you.Īs for when samples are loaded that’s a little outside Cantabile’s control - all the host does is instructs the plugin to load a its settings (essentially an FXB file) and it’s up to the plugin how and when the samples are loaded - or even if a sample load is necessary (eg: some plugins will maintain the old loaded samples if the loaded bank uses the same ones).Īnyway, the control you have from Cantabile over this is when the plugin bank is loaded.
Hi think before trying to figure this for sure it’d be good to hear from Spectrasonics about why the UI updates to a new patch but the sound doesn’t. I’ll send spectrasonics an email if I can’t find a solution soon. Possible workaround: I haven’t tried it yet but could I use a trigger to “remind” keyscape to switch the patch after the song is selected? (It’s a Hammond sk2)Īgain, if I click to another patch and then back again the sound returns to what it should be. It shouldn’t be, there are no program changes happening. I should double check to make sure my keyboard isn’t sending unwanted midi data. It sounds like the notes are being half sustained. I also think that keyscape is at fault now because there is sometimes a wierd note sustain thing happening when I switch to the piano sound. Is that correct? Will linked racks go through each state and load the samples ahead of time from each state? Mabye this is causing the glitch? I could use embedded racks and it will have the same effect. Ok, so in this particular case the linked rack isn’t necessary because I don’t need those samples to be loaded in multiple songs for fast switching. Thanks and happy to be apart of such a cool community! This is because Keyscapes has a really cool preview feature that allows you to start playing a basic (but very playable) version of the sound within a second or two which is good enough for me under certain circumstances (Jamming, ect…)Īlso, in terms of linked or embedded rack (still a bit hazy on these concepts) which should I use for this particular setup. I want previous samples to be unloaded and new sample to be loaded on each state change. I should also mention that I DO NOT want keyscapes to preload the sample data for all these sounds. Since I couldn’t get this working I have just been setting up individual racks for each Keyscape instrument I want but I would like to know if I’m missing something in Cantabile (I probably am) or if maybe the Keyscapes VST is behaving abnormally when it receives program change information. That finally cues Keyscapes to start loading the samples. In order to get the samples to load I have to manually select a different rack state and then go back to the one I wanted for that song. The Song successfully switches the Rack state preset and the Keyscapes VST window reflects the preset change has occurred but the actually samples do not load. I tried it and this works great during the live experimentation phase but here is the problem: Once I find the Keyscape sound (Rack state) I then save the song I then save the song.
Piano, Rhodes, Wurlizter ect… Then I can just throw that Rack into any song and change the rack preset on the fly to discover which type of keyboard will work best for the song and leave it there to be saved at the song level for the next time. I want to have a single Rack dedicated to Keyscapes with presets for all my favourite keyscape Keyboard sounds. I love how detailed C3 is and I can see that once I wrap my head around certain concepts the realm of possibilities opens up. I recently bought a laptop dedicated to running cantabile. This is my first post to the forums, (although I’ve been lurking around on here for the past week to absorb as much as I can).
