thanks dj grobe,
first I agree with you, an ultimate solution would let us in the software choose for each nob/switch, if it acts as audio or midi, so each users config could be kept as a preset....
my setup/what i want to do is the following:
Igot a macbookpro laptop running XP sp2, and i use ableton.
I play Live with ableton, I make 8 audio tracks, I route each track to the
Zero (kick, bass, sd ect). ok each track The zero is set in audio/midi mode,
so I can play, cut my tracks with no lantency (as it's audio), but I can still tweak ableton with midi controls (break, filterz ect).
Now what I d'like is to apply VSt on the master, for example a limiter and a mastering section (ie to prevent if im drunk to not send to much bass )
that would create cliping (Limiting is a musthave for live sessions acc to me) tweak a little bit those shity eq and the signal will jump of more than Ndb!!!!
Here are the two workaround I found:
1°)
_I send 7 tracks from live to the korg, in the zero I/O menu I choose to send the "master" to out 15-16(8th). So in live I can get the total mix in a new track. here i put my VSTs, and then I re-send this to the korg 15-16
Now the trick is to Cue that channel and then if I put a headphone and set the cue totally to cue, that works...I got the master processed by VSTs.
...the pb with that technik is that my master output is now routed to headphones, wich is not made to handlle master signal(power/impedance). the sound is more crappy, there r some little clicks, and last but not least, I can't cue anymore as its' taken for the master!!!
2°)
_I send 7 tracks from live to the korg, in the zero I/O menu I choose to send the "busA" to out 15-16(8th).Then on the zero I set all my 7 first tracks to "A" So in live I can get the total mix in a new track where i put my VSTs. Now I re-send that new live track to the zero "15-16 (8th) wich I set to bus B on the zero. Setting the cross fader to B will output the Vst processed master to the master outputs.
... so with this tek I got the master on the good output, but I can no more use the crossfader (A is dry - B is processed)...with is very boring.
So actually I didn't found a cool workaround, I would realy enjoy see yours or any user/ korg admin solution...
note that acc to me, the best solution would be to add Cue/master in the two I/O that are not used, so I could directly route the vst processed track
to the master of the zero. Korg is there an insert point to the master??
It's very sad, I like it very much, but I may sell it and go for the EVO, they thought about it, as you said Im not sure korg re reals DJ/ ableton userz or even spoke with some, that's such a shame routing issue for a unit this price range!!!!!
it's like creting a new flying car that would stay on the road;;;
