Thanks nickster it works now but there are some things I don’t understand.
Why do I have to keep the Montiro function on?
How do I get the “get patch” function to work?

and yes I would gladly have som fxb I will pm you my mail

[Amos]

if you are using the ReKon editor and Get Patch does not work, then either you are not piping MIDI out from the Editor to your LP, or your LP is not running OS 2.20.

Sorry for my spelling earlier it’s supposed to spell:
Why do I have to keep the Monitor function on?

And i got the “get patch” function to work now, don’t really know how. But routed the midi differently and it suddenly worked thanks for your help ppl!

@smokemon

Why do I have to keep the Monitor function on?

probably to keep the MIDI flowing in and out all the time.

[smokemon]

Yep thats probably it…

amos:

Do you happen to know what command is sent from the VST plugin to the LP to initiate the “Get patch” ?

I figure i could get the lp to set all my parameters in flstudio this way?

Hi, I don’t think FL Studio is on the list of supported DAWs… you should email me with more detailed info about exactly what doesn’t work in FL Studio, and I’ll try to determine if it can be fixed on our end.

Thanks!

Hi Amos,

This are the issues I’ve found with FL Studio.

• “Get Patch” does not work. – We know that.
• “MIDI Clk” option in The LFO Sync does not work.
• The presets’ parameters are not being saved properly when you save the project. I.e. Make a patch save your project, close it and open it back again. Most of the settings are gone.

I really hope all this issues are fixed for FL Studio. I really love the VST, but I am not being able to get the most out of it.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Thanks in advance!

EB.

Amos,

I also notice that if you click on the “Wrapping Settings” within FL Studio, the VST resets a few parameters.

Please let me know if you have questions.

Thanks again,

EB.

I’m using Live and can’t seem to find the 1.1.3 update on moog or rekons site. Can someone point me in the right direction?

[mr-g]

@Amos

1.1.3 just adds a work-around for one of Ableton Live’s quirky MIDI implementations… if you’re not using Live there’s no difference between 1.1.2 and 1.1.3. However, thanks for the reminder… I do need to post the update to our site.

Cheers,

Amos

How’s that 1.1.3 update coming, then? For us Live users, any improvements are a huge help!

[Amos]

1.1.3 is done… please email me at amos (at) moogmusic dot com for more info. thanks!

Since this is now a tutorial thread, here’s my info for how to set up the VST in Ableton Live:

1. create two MIDI tracks in Ableton Live. On one track, put the VST LittlePhatty Editor.
2. on the second MIDI track, set MIDI From: VST LittlePhatty Editor. Below this (where default is “Post FX”) Select VST LittlePhatty Editor again.
3. on the second MIDI track, set MIDI To: your Little Phatty. In my example I am using Little Phatty USB port, which is named “USB Audio Device” on PC/Windows.
4. make sure Monitor is ON for both MIDI tracks.

See the attached picture, which shows the above set-up. This works for me.

Another tip: you may find it helps to turn off “PGM RCV” or “PGM SND” on the LittlePhatty Editor GUI. This will stop the Editor from changing presets when you change presets on the Little Phatty. Notice that the Default Preset on the Editor sets all parameters to zero, which can cause problems when you are trying to get patches from your Little Phatty into the Editor. My solution for this is to turn off Midi SEND on the LittlePhatty Editor when I change to a new patch in the Editor… then turn on MIDI SEND again, and click “Get Patch” to get the patch from the Little Phatty synth.

Also note that your Little Phatty must have firmware version 2.2 in order to use all the features of the VST Editor. This firmware update is a free download from moogmusic.com.

I did everything according to this and the editor is acting weird and only works 10% of the time. Also, which track do you put your midi clips on?

It’s just not easy to get the VST working in Ableton Live, and with the demo you get punched in the peanuts every 10 seconds by the “buy me now” nag.

I’m sure the VST would be awesome once working, it looks great.

What would be awesome in addition …

1. Give detailed instructions for getting the VST to work
2. Get rid of that damn nag screen, it does nothing but annoy loyal loving customers who already own moog hardware

[orion]

OK, using the instructions and screenshot Amos provided I have midi going back and forth and I can get the current patch from the LP to the VST. (Thanks Amos!)

However, I’m having trouble figuring out how to setup automation of LP parameters in the track using the VST. The only parameter I can seem to get access to for automation is Device on/off.

Does anyone have LP parameter automation working properly in Ableton Live, and if so how did you get it to work?
