Members droolmaster0 Posted June 17, 2006 Members Share Posted June 17, 2006 I got a good deal on this, so I picked it up.... I cannot figure out how to change banks with the audio unit plugin. I have no problem at all with the vst or standalone - it's easy. But, say, in Bidule for instance - in the vst version, you just click on the load button (which Bidule supplies) and you can load the .fxb. However, this button is grayed out in the au version. Same in Live 5 (I am new to Live, but I'm still not convinced it works) - there is a load button in the vst plugin - but it doesn't exist in the au. Dragging the file onto the GUI doesn't work for the plugins (at least, I couldn't get that to work)....doesn't work in Numerology either. What incredibly dumb thing am I missing? I'm going to want this to work in DP and Numerology... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pighood Posted June 17, 2006 Members Share Posted June 17, 2006 The trick is to open the folder for the sound banks and drag them (one at a time) over the display window (no....not kidding).

Right - but this didn't work! I tried this in every host. It just didn't work. Why would it work for you and not for me?! ........ok - I figured that there was more of a chance that I was doing this wrong, than that it would work for you and not me, so I just got it to work - but it's weird....there is a folder that is installed with banks for the au version, with the extension .aupreset. These are clearly banks, and if you browse to them in Live, you'll see bank1, bank2, etc....but then they won't load. But if I drag the .fxb versions (which I thought were the vst format) it works. either the manual sucks totally, or my reading comprehension is pretty poor tonight. Good beer. But THANKS - really fast answer. Now I have to install hipno.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pighood Posted June 17, 2006 Members Share Posted June 17, 2006 I have stored the replacement banks in the Applications folder. Do a search on the suffix: ".fxb." Might be a good idea to alias this folder and put it in the dock or on the desktop. You have to grab one of the .fxb files with your mouse and drag it over the window in the lower right of the impOSCar interface (directly under "Selected Patch"). This will change all 36 loaded patches. Click and hold on the name of the patch and you'll see the names of all 36 patches in the new .fxb file.

Members pighood Posted June 17, 2006 Members Share Posted June 17, 2006 Just in case anyone else needs the procedure. It's awkward as hell....unlike Oddity, which has a "normal" load procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently pissed off though, because, after I got that figured out, I installed hipno, and they have this lame challenge/response, where I"ll have to wait until monday to get the response. So, it's pretty much useless all weekend, unless I want to listen to their incredibly annoying interruptions...grrrr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members droolmaster0 Posted June 17, 2006 Author Members Share Posted June 17, 2006 you should check out the demo. This is pretty damn cool. I probably won't try some of the wilder features until it's authorized, but apparently you can import video and use it to morph the effects....I haven't tried any of the instruments yet. I'm using the effects on imposcar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
