Sorry for frustrations. As you know we offer a free demo with no restrictions, so people can try it out before buying, in order to not end up in this situation. If I could make a refund for you, I would, but I see you bought it 8 years ago.
It used to work great in SO, up to v6 I think, where they changed something.
MG is unusual in that it must be an audio effect (audio=>audio) that also produce MIDI. Moreover the DAW must figure out to route that MIDI into its other tracks. We have seen several times that DAW developers forget to support that (until enough users notify them). We are trying in all sorts of ways to “talk” to DAWs, using both AUs, VST2, VST3 interfaces, in industry standard “languages”: MIDI1/singlechannel/multichannel and MPE. If I find out we are missing anything, I will add it.
If the problem is with my Mac or S1, why is this the only plugin that has issues? Why I don’t have issues with other 100s probably 1000s of plugins from minimum other 30 companies? Why I can see their VST, AU versions? I’m not even on the most updated version of OS, I’m still on Monterrey. If your game is software, you have to be prepare to move forward with the world. Your last version can’t be from 2017! Mac with M1 chips have been around since 2020. You cannot charge $ and stop developing updates whenever you want, blame the others and leaving your customers hanging!
If your answers are gonna be this blind non sense JO fan crap, please stop!
What kind of reply is that? Can you imaging all third party plugins replying like that? If you can’t keep up you have to market your product as a stand alone that will sometimes work with DAWs.
Yes, I used it on and off all those years just to trigger instruments for sessions. I can’t do it now with V2 or 3. I’m only having this issue with MG. All my other plugins are there. VST and AU and everything is working perfectly but yours! JO reply on tge support email could not be more unprofessional! Take responsibility for your product! Don’t blame others! One of your versions has to work properly, if you consider yourself a professional product! I’m not a kid playing in my bedroom, you messed up two sessions already with the news that your plugin doesn’t work anymore with SO. Everyone else catch up with the world but you, but it’s not your fault, right?
Some bull in a china shop who forgets that he is posting on a forum and therefore “talks” to everyone here.
And no, I will not respond to any of your following insults.
Seriously, OP. You have been offered help and you are choosing to take this tack with multiple forum members including the solo developer? The mind boggles.
It seems you have a few options at this point (I’ll add one even though I anticipate you’ll react like an angry toddler):
Try the AU versions – Thorleif kindly confirmed they work for you;
Use the Rosetta 2 emulator for now – it’s not that hard to activate and the performance hit is negligible;
Use MG2 or MG3 standalone versions and funnel MIDI into S1 over the virtual MIDI port – I’m not sure it could get any easier.
These are your first posts here, right? If you haven’t picked it up yet, this forum is made up of amicable members (who are real people) and are respectful of and helpful to one another. A little manners will go a long way here, just as with face-to-face human interactions.
We are all trying to help and I must admit I find it really difficult to find the energy when you are so aggressive.
At least one person, have been kind enough to install SO6 and figure out how it works, just to help you! And figured out that the MG3 AU does work.
As said, none of those 1000s of VSTs you have, are anything like MG and are either FX, Synths or MIdi Fx. MG is neither, and therefore some DAWs treat MG differently or doesn’t know what to do about it. But eventually, when people ask (kindly), developers will find a way to make it work.
I have noted on my todo list that the MG3 VST doesn’t work in SO6. I will try to talk to Presonus to understand why. It’s of course in our interest to keep it compatible with as many DAWs as possible. Sometimes it isn’t possible. We are not in charge of the VST format or how DAWs use MG.
If you are not interested in being constructive, please stop wasting our time.
if it works for everyone except for that one guy, there is no need to update it.
let’s delve a bit further and head into conspiracy territory.
let’s say you’ve just committed to spend 7 billion yen on your new facility.
but your ‘flagship’ product now faces a contender which floats like a butterfly and stings like a killer bee.
your $1,300 guitar synth sales are circling the drain. why pay $1,300 for crap sounds when you can pay $150 for the most glorious ones?
what to do?
for two plus decades you’ve told us that if we want guitar synth we need a hex pickup.
then some dude in his living room slays your theory dead. his mojo manages to extract more data from a single 1/4" jack than your hexaphonic ‘solution’ and process it more rapidly and more musically to boot.
what do you do? you don’t have many options. so, you post poisonous threads on this forum in a lame attempt to portray mg as a ‘toy’.
apologies, but the cake has been baked. the old technology is being dust binned as we watch. it’s going down screaming and crying like a spoilt child, but it is going down.
ps: did yoshi know what was possible with a 1/4" pickup? maybe he should have put some of that 7 billion yen into r&d instead. if he knew and didn’t develop it he has only himself to blame.
if he didn’t know, how on earth did he manage to be put in charge of guitar synthesis?
I spent that $1300.00 years ago on the Roland GR-30. I don’t recall the last time I even powered it up but I think it was more that 5 years. I never got good results with it. The MIDI cable is not even connected but I do use the Fender Stratocaster that came with it for MG2 and MG3 Standalone as I am on Windows.
I’m getting great results with MG3 Standalone and I know the vst version is on the way. MG3 gets better results than MG2. I also use MG2 VST3 in Gig Performer 5 and Cubase 13.0.4 and it works fine for me.
I will not update to SO 6.6 as there is nothing in that update that is worth it to me so I am staying on 6.5.1 and MG2 works fine there. Too many large software companies are pushing that online stuff where you have to connect to their servers or phone home even after you are licensed. All the background nonsense causes too many issues for the operating system.
@JamO you wrote here that the versions of Studio One prior to Studio One 6 worked very well with the MPE connection of MG3. Unfortunately, I have not been able to do this with versions 4 and 5 either.
Is there any detailed information about the correct and complete MPE connection of MG3 in Studio One 5 or 4?
