Hello,
I have a question regarding the Sountower VST/AU Editor before purchasing. I tried the Demo version and it seems to work fine in Ableton 11.
However, I want to use it to control the Prophet Rev2 in Multimode on, so I have setup two midi tracks in ableton: I load an External Instrument Device in each of these tracks, each sending to two adjacent midi channels (1 and 2), to control each timbre of the synth (it is bitimbral). Then I load the "Control" version of the Soundtower plugin (not the Instrument version) and put it after the external instrument device - two instances of the plugin, one in each track.
In the second track I try to activate “Edit Layer B” in the (Demo) plugin. It should work to edit/automate parameters on layer B of the synth correct (so second timbre)? Right now, in the demo version, it does not work (only layer A oscillator parameters are affected it seems, even with "Edit Layer B" button On/lighted), but I guess this is because “Edit Layer B” button is disabled in the demo plugin? Is this correct? Anyone with the paid version could try and confirm please?
If indeed we can have two instances of the Control plugin, and one can automate/edit Layer A, while the other automates/edits Layer B, then I believe the synth can be controlled in multimode (the two timbres separately by the two instances of the plugin), as outgoing midi channels are defined within the daw (track midi out through ableton’s external instrument device in this case). It would be great if so, as I plan to use the Prophet Rev2 as two independent synths in one box. But I don't want to buy the plugin and then find out it does not work!
Thanks in advance for your help, if you decide to try it.
