Exactly Musos.

I'm running VI in standalone AU on MAC patched into ProTools via RAX, and when I bring ProTools to the front, the VI is still on top. This is not normal behaviour, whether u want to acknowledge it or not. No other virtual instrument does that fyi.

Not a bad idea [;)] ... i was just trying to make your life easier right now.

All the best,

the thing is that when the VI is on top (in control) the audio may pass throught the host (if the settings are set to do so) but the transport commands are no longer available since the VI has control (ie: on top). this is where the problem with workflow is. since the VI is on top in control we can't start or stop the sequence without regaining control of the host.

if i have RMX or trilogy or Mach V running in DP land and on top. I can still start and stop performer whether it is visible or not. those VIs don't need to be controlled so they don't need to be in control (on top, sort of). Anyway the point is that the VSL VI behaves very differently than any of the other VIs that I use and I have nearly all of them. It's very annoying and obnoxious VI behavior.

It's an easy fix I hope. maybe just a misunderstood concept.

Yes-- the keyboard being deactived while VI is on top was what I was mentioned earlier.

So, here's a thought:

The keyboard is connected via USB.
Syncrosoft key is connected via USB.
In both cases, there is some sort of communications block.

Could the two issues be related? [[:|]]

Thanks ! Ihad no doubt about that.
Now, will you update the VI so that at least you get only one floating window ?

2nd monitor doesn't make any difference. i have 2 23 inch apple ciname displays. the mixer sits in one (takes up all the screen, even on narrow view), and i have most of the editing windows, etc on the other display.

it's just all the clicking that's driving me insane!!! totally messes with the workflow!

happy easter, by the way [:)]

(((( bump ))))
Any word from the VSL team? Is there an update in sight? Do all our comments count....?

( bump? what does that mean? )

there will be a nice solution for this problem in 1.06

to be released along w/ VST OSX and possibly RTAS OSX

will enter test department these days

we _do_ listen - don't worry

thanks
