You need to go into [Devices- VST Instruments] and load up the Rekon editor in one of the slots.

Then you need to set up 2 MIDI tracks.

[MIDI 1] Input = VST Virus Editor
[MIDI 1] Output = Virus C

[MIDI 2] Input = Controller (I use my DX7 IIFD - For you it could be your Virus)
[MIDI 2] Outpur = VST Virus Editor

"Arm" (or Record Ready) both tracks and you should be set to go...

Hope you work it out!

Merry X-mas!!!!!

yup, not impressed whatsoever, poor product, poor company, poor support.

Are you even a registered user? Have you even requested support? How can you make claims like this without illustrating why you feel that way?

I support every customer personally, how many software companies out there will do that? I can't support every VST host, because they control how their software works, not me.

I don't make a real living off of selling these editors, it's supplemental income and in no way comes close to paying all the bills. So, this is why I don't have mucho time to put into the software all the time, I have to build other stuff like web sites to pay the bills.

As to the demo, manual and presets. Yes, they are important factors, but are in no way neccessary to use the software. The editor is designed to shape your patch in the DAW along with the music. It does that and more.

Hmm, intresting thread.

No need for me as I have a TI, but found from somewhere that there is also an editor for the Waldorf Pulse, so have grabbed the demo to check it out.

We'll see...

I wish that you'd made a clear statement along these lines before I paid money for this.

From the Rekon Audio Site:
"The reKon™ VST Virus C Editor is a realtime MIDI synth editor that allows you full control of every parameter of the sound on the Access Virus ™ synthesizers.

Now you can utilize your Virus to its full potential and build lasting and meaningful patches that will bring new life to your Virus, and more importantly, your music.You also maintain all your patches on the PC itself without the hassle of manual dumps.

All parameters are fully automatable and you can even use your favorite VST host, giving you the ability to visually program the Virus to your music via the host sequencer. This ability to model your synth patches in realtime, inside your main music production environment is part of what makes the reKon™ VST Virus Editor unique when compared to other hardware synth editors."

I bought this editor as a means to achieve the above. It does not provide a workable solution to the above. I have no use for a VSTi that merely tweaks parameters that can be tweaked and recorded from the Virus itself. The apparent lack of commitment to a timely completion of this product makes this the worst software purchase I have ever had the misfortune to make.

I want either a commitment to your ensuring that the product does everything your website claims in the very near future, or a refund.

I am very unhappy that I feel the need to lash out like this on a public forum.

i installed this two weeks ago. opened it once, fiddled with it for about 15 minutes and then gave up on it. haven't touched it since. the main reason behind this is the layout. at 1280x1024 i can't read anything on the panel. i wouldn't mind programming my patches from scratch but just looking at it is making me blind.

it's still a great idea and could be extremely useful but not in its current state. just to give you an idea of how much of a hindrance this is, i've reverted back to using logic and sdiver every time i need to program a patch.

[jasedee]

Yeah, pretty much the same story here. Bought it, installed it, played with it for 10 minutes and havent touched it since.

Im still waiting for the Psicraft Vyzor version...

Nope...and it is discontinued if I remember correctly

[mr.e]

ya you reminded me ...it was made by emagic ...too bad apple didn't continue that soundiver ...

what other alternatives are there other than this reckon audio one cause I understand theres no multi patch management right? and its poor resolution.
Yes I know vizor has been claiming to come out for like a decade now
And I need it to be Universal binary or ppc whatever I as long as its mac
oh and one more thing...does the reckon work as stand alone ? if so that would be a cool feature since not everyone uses vst hosts now these days
