$8.00 USD for each item in the bundle) and only got as far as doing some test-of-concept presets using VIP as a sound source manager plug-in within a modular soft synth (January). I got it in November as part of an Akai/AIR bundle (est. Thanks also to posting this and to asking the question about VIP's abilities.
#Cakewalk dimension default vst folder location how to#
I only have VIP preset maps that VIP magically came up with after scanning the two plug-in folders I listed, but I need to figure out how to create the maps for tons of other virtual instruments. The ability to successfully switch presets for plug-ins that don't respond to MIDI bank/program changes has to be sorcery (to use your term)!! I didn't explore whether the plug-ins VIP was controlling were VST2s or VST3s. I think it might be doing that with some older legacy plugins, but it also changes presets in modern plugins that do not respond to MIDI bank/program changes. Is it worth $15? That's up to you to decide! But realize that it's not likely to get any more updates or bug fixes. Some plugins will crash VIP, as any DAW host can experience on occasion. Some plugins will not send any preset info to VIP.

VIP can import some plugin patches a bank at a time, some will import automatically one patch at a time as you audition the presets using the plugin GUI, and some will import presets one at a time with a 'default' patch name, and you have to rename each one as you go. There are also some factory plugin maps provided for select 3rd party synths, and with luck and some work you can create plugin maps for any synth that communicates preset data to the plugin host.įor plugins without ready made patch maps, it's a mixed bag of tricks. I think the deal here is for the Standard version that doesn't include any instruments. You are in luck if you already have and like AIR instruments. VIP shipped a version with AIR instruments bundled, so it works very well out of the box with AIR instruments using the available factory plugin maps. It all mixes down to the master bus (which also has 4 inserts available) which outputs stereo to your DAW host, or stereo audio output if running standalone. Each part has an optional 4 insert effects slots and can send to up to 4 busses. This particular multi has Hybrid (x5), Xpand!2, and Loom(x2) loaded into the 8 parts. The multi shown is an Akai factory preset using some AIR plugins. Makes finding the sound you are seeking a bit easier.

Here's a screen capture of the VIP interface, showing an 8 part multi preset down in the mixer section, as well as the instrument browser above with Dimension Pro highlighted, and preset selection focused for it listed in the pane at the left, and preset tags shown to the middle pane. Think it would be worth it just for that feature alone. This is what I was getting/understanding from the description on the sale page, but found it hard to believe!! How many $9 licenses do you have to sell to pay for one developer?

The latest in a long line of their KVR support forum punching bags put out a call for beta testers back in February which I assume was for Catalina support on the Mac side and the big PACE installer issue on the Windows side. Wasn't that a drum machine? Whatever the last product launch was. Thumbs-down to them for trying to squeeze even $15 out of people.ĭo you think that inMusic even has a "development team" as such these days? My impression is that they canned the last of the SONiVOX and AIR people right after the last new AIR synth shipped. Wow, no VST3 support is like not having 64-bit support would have been not so long ago.
It gripes me that there's no VST3 support (and likely never will be), as more and more plugins are released as VST3 only. There is really nothing else quite like it, and I also have Komplete Kontrol and PluginGuru Unify. It gripes me that there's no VST3 support (and likely never will be), as more and more plugins are released as VST3 only.īut the real biggie is that it's another good product that seems to have gone down the same inMusic Brands rabbit hole with AIR and SONiVOX products, and hasn't gotten any recent love from their development team. VIP is both a standalone app and a plugin, but it's still limited to working only with VST2 plugins. So it's not 100% universal out of the box. So that's the 3rd party plugin's fault, and not VIP's. But some do not share any preset info with the host. Many VST plugins, but not all, can share their preset info with it so it can act as a giant patch librarian for many of your plugins. It works, and it does what it says, with a few limits and disclaimers. Does it do what it says? Can you use it in your DAW or is it just a standalone app?
