Dear Toontrack Team,
first thanks for presenting the free, small and easy to use VST-host application SOLO for SD and ED. This was a good determination.
Some questions to this:
Since version 1.32 in SOLO when you go to “options” > “audio” > “latency Settings” you will directly moved to the relevant ASIO driver settings from your ASIO soundcard (if selected) to change the buffer size settings inside this driver dialogue. Does it mean the previously internal minimal buffer size limitation from 64 samples in SOLO is now gone? (For example with PCIe RME cards down to 32 Samples) Wood be fine in periods with extremely fast computer’s equipped with potent core i5/7 multi cores. I think this new feature in version 1.32 is undocumented.
Under “options” > “controller” > “flip setup” what does this function do? This is also undocumented. Please inform.
And my friends from Toontrack did you ever used the SOLO metronome with activated all outputs to ASIO multi-out cards? (options > audio > audio output channels) Do you now what happens? The SOLO metronome sends in all output channels a signal This is absolutely insufficiently! A small dialogue box with audio routing settings for the metronome should not be a big thing.
And please think modern! To use a VSTi drum system on stage means a computer in a save 19″ case and maybe one 10″ touch screen (iPad feel) for controlling. And gentleman please try to use TT SOLO on a 10″ touch screen. Some buttons and faders are extremely small not usable! For example please look to Native Instruments “Guitar Rig” there is a “live mode” modus. And you will know what I mean. Of course same to Superior Drummer. Also the confused unlocked SD window position inside SOLO is absolutely dreadful! (Sometimes overlap the mixer view) We are living in 2012 and not in the 90th’s! Look please to Presonus Studio One and you can see how to handle well organized locked/docking and well scaled window settings inside a application.
Thank you very much
