REWIRE!

[goyya76]

don't know if someone has just suggested it.....i've read in the forum that turning Usine into a vst plug-in would be difficult - maybe rewire compatibility (Usine slave) would be more feasible??
however i really like Usine....thanks!

cheers ^_^

I wouldn't have minded having a Rewire option in Usine, and I've also made a suggestion to Olivier about that.

It wouldn't be easy to implement, and after I made my suggestion, I've seen that Propellerheads are quite restrictive with licensing Rewire, unlike what Steinberg is doing with VST.

Since Reason is my main synth/sampler program, I have instead made my own "homebrew" Rewire from Usine to Reason. Using Maple MIDI to send MIDI, and different ASIO drivers connected to the same sound card; the M-Audio driver that goes with my controller/audio interface is used by Usine, while Reason is using ASIO4ALL, both routed to the same input in the control panel for the M-Audio driver.

Any audio connections between the programs would have to go via analog outputs/inputs as far as I have found out, but I can live with that.

By sending MIDI start/clock/stop from Usine to Reason, Reason is following the Usine clock, and things like synced delays etc in Reason works. I haven't really checked latency problems neither for MIDI nor audio, but it sounds good enough for me. This setup is for improvising, not sample accurate beats...

You are right bsork.
I proceed exactly the same way, using my RME Fireface. It's is easy to make an home made Rewire. And sometime, with good drivers, this option is more CPU friend than the basic REWIRE...

As you said the REWIRE licencing is heavy and especially boring...
My priority, is to make a VST version of Usine.
