Hi, I just purchased an LP recently, and wow, the sound is amazing. I was wondering if anybody could give me any tips on setting up my phatty on my Mac. I have a laptop, with cubase 6 installed on it, and it’s easy to play the soft synths through the LP, but I really want to be able to record my phatty through the computer. How do I play my little phatty through the computer? What Cords/cables do I need to purchase? It is an LP Stage II. Thank You so much for your assistance.
all is inclued in cubase you can record midi notes or any automation you make when u move the parameter in the LP in realtime!
and u have this terrible option in cubase call device panel it’s a way to create your own visual LP repreentation into cubase like if you were using any vst instruments 'look in the pdf call Midi devices or something like this…
if not interresting u can still purchase the vst editor that moog is reselling (i will only gives u access easily on functions that is generated by sysex messages (different from midi cc who is more simple to use for the average player)!!!
u can also draw some automation in the editor or in the automation track and much much more !!!
put an arpigio, use midi fx , there is a huge amount of free midi plugins on the net like those made by >>> xoxos here http://www.xoxos.net/vst/vst.html !!!
feel free
OKay, I think I kind of understand what you’re saying. It sounds like my LP should be compatible with cubase, and all I need is the usb over midi cable I have. But since I’m new to Midi devices as well as the LP, I’m still having a hard time setting it up so I can play it in Cubase. I got the demo version of the LP VST, and it syncs with the knobs when I turn them on the actual device, but there still isn’t any sound. What am I doing wrong? is it because it’s a demo that there isn’t any sound, or did I set it up wrong?
if you want the audio from the Phatty inside Cubase, you’ll need an audio interface of some sort (or possibly could plug the phatty audio output into the computer built-in mic/line input, although this is seldom a good solution). Look at stuff like the m-audio fast track, tascam 122, or similar small USB audio interfaces. A basic one will probably get you started. The VST editor isn’t like a VST instrument, it just sends MIDI to/from the synth… the synth makes analog sound out in the real world, sounds to me like you need to get that analog sound back inside the computer… hence the need for an audio interface.
Hope I’m answering the right question!

Ya thats what I was thinking of. Darn, I was hoping I wouldn’t have to spend any more money, but ya that’s what I need. Thanks for your help. And after I get it all hooked up to my LP and I plug it in to the computer, how do I find it on cubase, is it pretty simple after that point?
Okay. I got an M-Audio device and I still couldn’t record my LP on Cubase 6. So I’m gonna describe everything I did in the hopes that someone can possibly pick out where I’m erring and maybe lead me in the right direction, cause I really wanna get those PHAT sounds of the LP into my music! Okay first of all, I’m having no problem using the LP as a MIDI keyboard, it’s very easy hooking it up using a USB cord- No problem there. I’m finding it very difficult however to play my LP on Cubase. So far I’ve tried the USB cable and I’ve hooked up a MIDI over USB cable which also was easy to set up the LP as a MIDI keyboard. Someone told me to try using an audio device so I got an m-audio fast track pro, I hooked up a midi cable from the midi out port on the LP to the Midi in port on the m-audio device, and then I hooked up the the USB cable i was using with the LP to the fast track pro which I then hooked up to the USB port on my laptop (macbook pro 13" from July 2010) and although I could still use the LP as a MIDI keyboard, I still couldn’t figure out how to play/record my LP on my cubase 6. Somebody please help, it’s so frustrating cause I could’ve bought any MIDI keyboard but I spent an extra $1,000 on an LP Stage II for its sounds. Please Help! I appreciate it very much. Thanks!
