Hello, I am new to this particular piece of software.

I have downloaded the demo and was wondering.....do I need to have midi connected to make it work? I only have an ickle laptop and it does not have a midi port! Can I use the qwerty keyboard with it like VAZ?

Also what are the limitations of the demo?

Cheese people!

Hi - I haven't tried the demo with midi, but the demo version has an intermittent white noise thing, and you can't save presets - or download new ones.

I have mmv software and it's great. There are several improvements that NEED to be made, and Arturia has committed to making them soon.

I've been able to use MIDI OX to run it from the same laptop, but it has performance issues. Works better as a standalone, as it's fairly CPU intensive.

Does that mean that it does NOT have to be used with Midi then?

Basically I don't have any midi ports...so........ I can I still use without Midi?

Thanks

Without midi ports the application would be severely limited, but you still have a couple of options. One is that you can play a key at a time from the mouse. The other is to install some kind of interfacing software (I use MIDI OX) to play mmv keyboard from your computer keyboard.

Do you have USB ports? If you do then you can just get a keyboard with a built in USB MIDI interface such as the Radium or Keystation by www.maudio.com

I use an Edirol USB midi interface and drive mmv from my Roland keyboard.

When I'm away from the studio, I can work on creating presets using the methods I described above (i.e., MIDI OX).

Hey all First post,


Dunno about the demo limitations but

You might want to put the demo as a vst in a host application (I use fruity loops and others) and then use the Trollo pluggin.

Trollo allows your qwerty-board to send Midi outs
however this must be done within vst since (i think) there is no Trollo standalone. Find Trollo at http://www.kvr-vst.com along with a lot of other free plugs

annother solution might be Midijoy a prog that lets you send midi with a joystick. rather an odd controller but good for some things

remember also that you can get the midiyoke prog that creates virtual midi ports for interconnecting programs and allows you to take midi out from a seqencer program and deliver it to the stand alone Moog V

hope that helps

I bought the Mini Moog V a week ago and LOVE it.
I'm using a MOTIF 6 as a controller.
Win XP, Digi TDM Mix 24 card, and MOTU-2408.

Hope this helps

MMV 2.0 is due out by the end of August! Free upgrade to registered users.

George, just wondering what kind of midi lag you're getting with your setup.
I like playing around with the MMV a lot, but on my system the lag times are really bad. Is that because of the cheap midi interface that I use?

I doubt if it's the MIDI interface. More likely to be the speed of your PC, as the MMV can be very processor intensive.

That's why Arturia are considering producing this . . . a hardware version.

I don't think it's the PC (P4 @ 2.4GHz, 1 Gig RAM) but I suppose it could be....
I'm hoping it's just my SoundBlaster joystick/midi port.
Ideas, anyone?

WOW! Is that for real?
Do you know if it would be manufactured by Moog or by Arturia?

Well . . . Arturia have put it up for consideration but like the piano bar i could see it being built by moog.

This is purely an artists impression at the moment but at least it has come from Arturia themselves (it was part of a questionare they put out some while back).

Presumerably this could already be an option in some of the other VSTi hardware devices like the Muse?
