Uses for a loopbackdriver

Posted

There are 2 uses for a loopbackdriver



  1. connecting HN2 with a VST  for playback and composition with HN2
    So you compose with HN2 and save your midifiles within HN2
    Than you can import the HN2 midifile into DAW
    To get this working is a 3 step proces
    - connecting loopbackdriver  from HN2 to DAW Midi In
    - Host ( =DAW): connecting VSTi with HN2
    - Connecting Device with HN2 ( device description)
    All these 3 steps are explained on website

  2. Record HN2 + VSTI  -> on one midichannel ( all midi tracks from HN2)
    This is only valid for recording with a GM soundmodule used as sounddevice for HN2  


For instance take the Catanya arpegiator VST
For this you are forced to use a loopbackdriver for recording the Catanya output on a midi channel
This , because there is no midi save  for the Catanya VSt when you compose


So the loopbackdriver is used here on two ways : Catanya connecting for playback + composing (1) and recording composing (2)
With HN2 it is not necessary to recording composing because there is a Midi save functionality and this can be exported


 


Well i hope it correct ?
For me it was confusing, because there was a comparison by me with Catanya and HN2 for using the loopbackdriver

Your summary is correct, thanks for sharing it.

On a side note, it is not Catanya's fault that a loopback driver is needed.  Many hosts can not record the midi output of a VST and a plugin developer can not do anything about it.

when is The Coming Audio System  availble for HN2?


I am still struggling to try to setup HN2


Setting this up is 3 stepproces or also possible is direct adressing ?

Is there a reason why there is not a midi recorder for a VST in a DAW?

Amazing work from Cognitone to develop this software and now agaian adressing the setup issue problems with VST
In fact it is all about to have the right sound on your midi channel on a userfriendly way( =easy) and all positive sideeffects from this
