During the installation process, accept to install the Midi driver. 2 3 Make sure to restart the computer after you install Orb Composer. Otherwise, you might experience large and unacceptable delay with the virtual Midi ports in the DAW. After the restart, launch Orb Composer normally. 4 MAC Install Orb Composer MIDI1.0.5.dmg and launch the program Orb Midi. A Midi icon Symbol should appear on the top right. This service creates the virtual Midi ports used by Orb Composer automatically. Auto Start should be selected by default. Please note: Orb Composer Midi is necessary for the proper operation of Orb Composer. It uses minimal system resources and will not interfere with other software. We advise you to accept the default so that the service starts automatically after you restart your computer. (If you choose not to do this, you must always first launch Orb Composer Midi before launching Orb Composer.) 5 GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE MIDI PORTS MIDI INPUT PORTS There are 21 Midi in ports: Port orb 0: used for chords and chord progressions Ports orb 1-17: used for instruments Ports orb 18-20: unused at the moment, might be used for additional instruments later on All these Midi In Ports work exactly like a standard Midi Keyboard. Each instrument in Orb Composer sends its Midi Notes Data to the DAW on both an orb port and a midi channel. MIDI OUTPUT PORT Port orb out: used for Midi Synch with Orb Composer. This port sends the clock, play/pause/continue instructions to Orb Composer. 6 DAW CONFIGURATION LIVE / LOGIC / PRO TOOLS / CUBASE 1) Open the DAW project files provided in the downloaded folder. 2) Open them as “normal” projects, not as “template” projects. 3) Midi Inputs: no manual mapping is needed for these DAWs. 4) Midi output (sync): Go to the DAW options and make sure orb out sends the Midi clock. (See examples below.) 5) SAVE the open project as a project file under your desired name. We strongly advise you to keep this raw project file as a backup file. For your compositions we advise you to use a copy instead.) 6) Add your VSTi/AU on every instrument/articulation you want to use. 7) After you have finished SAVE again. This will be the default DAW project file to use with Orb Composer. Example: Orb Out Midi Clock set up with Live sync: Example Orb Out Midi Clock Sync set up in Cubase: 7 8 9 FL STUDIO 1) Launch FL Studio 2) Go to Options and select ‘Midi Settings’. 3) For each Orb input, enable it by clicking on ‘Enable’. Inputs might not appear in the same order, that doesn’t matter. 10 4) Click again on each Orb input and assign the same port number 11 12 5) Continue for all the ports. 13 6) Sync orb out by selecting it in the output list and click on Send Master sync. Assign a random port not used (for example port 42). 14 7) Use the FL Studio project files provided in the downloaded folder. 8) Open it as “normal” project file. 9) Midi Inputs: no further manual mapping is needed for these DAW. 10) Open and SAVE the project file under your desired name. 11) We strongly advise you to keep this project file as a backup file. For your compositions we advise you to use a copy instead. 12) You can add your VSTi/AU on every instrument/articulation you want to use. 13) After you have finished SAVE again. This will be the default project file to use with Orb Composer. 15 REAPER Manual mapping is needed for this DAW. 1) Download the Reaper project file from our website www.orb-composer.com 2) Open the project file 3) Make Sure Orb Midi Devices are enabled 16 17 4) Map the Orb Midi Inputs 18 5) Repeat this process for all the instruments you want to use. 6) Don’t forget to SAVE your project file. 7) We strongly advise you to keep this project file as a backup file. For your compositions we advise you to use a copy instead. 8) SAVE a copy under a different name such as “ProjectFileWithInstruments” 9) Now, you can add your VSTi/AU on every instrument/articulation you want to use. 10) After you have finished SAVE again. This will be the default project file to use with Orb Composer. 19 STUDIO ONE 1) Add Orb Midi Inputs 20 21 22 23 24 Repeat the process up to orb 20 if you own Orb Composer Pro. Otherwise, repeat the process up to orb 5. Once you have done that, your Midi Input should look like the following screenshot. 25 2) Download the project file for this DAW from our website www.orb-composer.com 3) Open it. 26 4) Map the Orb Midi Inputs. 27 28 29 30 5) Repeat this process for all the instruments you want to use. 6) Don’t forget to SAVE your project file. 7) We strongly advise you to keep this project file as a backup file. For your compositions we advise you to use a copy instead. 8) SAVE a copy under a different name such as “ProjectFileWithInstruments” 9) Now, you can add your VSTi/AU on every instrument/articulation you want to use. 10) After you have finished SAVE again.

A: Make sure you entered the right key (and that there is no space at the end of the serial key if you copy paste it). Q: I can’t activate Orb Composer because it says no internet connection. A: Check your internet connection is valid. You need an internet connection to activate it the first time. Q: I entered my serial Key and it froze during the checking process A: It is unlikely it froze. If you have a slow connection, it might take several minutes to process the activation on our servers. Q: I have an error “Port Orb 0 error” at the start A: On Windows, you need to make sure you allowed the driver installation during the process. On Mac, make sure you installed the DMG Orb Composer Midi 1.0.5 Q: I don’t have sound in my DAW A: Many different things could be the issue. • Make sure Orb Composer sends Midi Data (with the midi Indicator) • Make sure the orb ports, orb 0 up to orb 20 are activated in the DAW. • Check that you don’t have 2 DAWs opened at the same time, this won’t allow use of the necessary ports otherwise. • Don’t forget to press the record button for each track of the DAW, it’s usually needed to receive the Midi. If you are using our DAW Project files, make sure you open the Project file as a project file and not as a template file (specially in Logic and ProTools). 33 .

  • April 2017 ©2017 Music Maker Publications, Inc
    APRIL 201 7 APRIL 2 017 USA $5.99 CANADA $5.99 VOL. THIRTY NUMBER SEVEN One of the important additions to the Mixcraft audio REVISITED engine is its support of VST3 plug-ins. Long supported by Steinberg and others, the VST3 infrastructure puts plug-in makers in the position to create much more flexible tools. VST3 support improves the performance, auto- mation capability, and routing functions of plug-ins. It’s supported by iZotope, Waves, and Softube— among many others, and with many more likely to follow. Moving forward with technology is important for DAW users, and it is great to see Mixcraft supporting this forward-looking standard. The UI has also undergone a revamp, with interface skins based on theme selection. More important, in my experience, is that the interface just seems to work better with the HiDPI display on my Lenovo display. This is important, since a comfortable work environment can help you enjoy the hours that you will spend on your productions. I personally like the default dark interface; it is similar to other software that I use each day, and my eyes are able to Acoustica pick out details against its muted background. Another update to the UI is not a technical feature, but rather Mixcraft 8 an extension to the way that you access audio files.

  • Interview Matthias Juwan
    Studio One inventor Matthias Juwan in conversation Created by Lukas Ruschitzka When I learned about the »new« DAW for the first time at the Musikmesse 2009, I still had no idea what would connect me to this software over the next 10 years. One year later, in the summer of 2010, I had version 1 on the hard drive and star- ted producing my first song with Studio One. Now - almost a decade and hundreds of Studio One projects later - I did not miss the opportunity to ask Matthias Juwan, Studio One mastermind and CTO at Pre- Sonus Software a few questions about the creation and development of Studio One. In doing so, I have incorporated both my own questions and questions that have arisen in the RECORDING.de forum in recent years. I hope you enjoy reading the unabridged interview with Matthias Juwan! Matthias, Studio One will be 10 years old this year! In 2009 everyone was wonde- ring what they needed a new DAW for. Meanwhile, Studio One has become indispensable in the DAW market. What was the trigger for you to program the first prototype of Studio One? Everything started for me a few years earlier. When I released my 16-track freeware sequencer Kristal Audio Engine in 2004, there was a lot of positive feedback from the internet community and the press, and I decided to work on a more professional suc- cessor. The project ran for two years in my spare time in addition to the job as a soft- ware developer at Steinberg under the code name K2.
