Hi guys, I have a question.
Can Midi GUITAR2 work in a virtual machine?
I created a virtual machine using VMware Workstation and I have 2 external sound cards, I installed separate drivers for the virtual machine, but it seems that Midi Guitar2 does not work in the virtual machine? Or am I missing something?
Hope the community can help >
Thank you.
Hi,
I can’t speak to MG2 but I tried to install MG3 in Windows 11 (arm) under Parallels Desktop 20 for macOS. It didn’t work as expected, possibly because of the arm architecture?
I’m not sure why you’d want to run it in a VM anyway. I was just curious about how the Windows version compared functionally to the macOS version so I gave it a try.
Please run MG2 or MG3 on a supported non-virtualized OS for proper function.
do you have any other music production software working in vmware? does vmware support asio?
i believe mg3 does load in wine, iirc another user had it working.
Dear friends.
I use MG2 on Windows 10 and it works fine. My computer has a strong configuration, so I want to create a virtual machine and use MG2 so that my friend and I can play virtual instruments together…this is my first time working with a virtual machine, so I have no experience with other music making software…
Thank you for your interest.
you could do this in a daw, with one track running mg2/3 for your friend and another one for you. this approach would be much much easier than trying to get mg2/3 running in a vm.
you’d each have individual control over as many instruments as your computer can support.
