MWS and SAC

[mr_es335]

Hello,

Is there a way to have MWS output show up in SAC?

I have a number of MIDI files I would like to load in MWS, which is connected to Kontakt, then link to SAC for audio ouput.

Please advise.

I'm not a SAC user, but...

MWS doesn't output audio, just MIDI. That MIDI can drive VSTi's in SAW, which would output audio just like any other source in SAW. I think there's a proprietary audio link from SAW to SAC, right? That would be the ticket, I think.

Is Kontakt running as a vsti in SAW or is it running independent?

Hello,

As a VSTi in SAW.

I think I "figu'd" it out...you have to use either the Input Chan Play Tap At PRE-PATCH option or the Input Chan Play Tap At PST-FDR option.

That seems to do it...though not sure exactly how...yet.

Thank you...

You can also use hardware midi ports and cables or a virtual midi cable to connect the MWS midi outs to the vsti plugs patched into SAC... this has the added advantage that the plugs are always live while the SAC engine is live.

Sound like a great idea!

However, am I able to use the MIDI ins and outs of the SAME RME HDSP 9652 to accomplish this?

[brettbrandon]

I was going to make Bob's suggestion of loading it in SAC and use a "Virtual Midi Port" to communicate between the two.

EDIT: Here's a link for a free virtual midi cable.

Yes, you can use the same RME card for both ins and outs.

A "heads up" on how to get this all working?

PS: I "figur'd it out". Thanks!

mako,

Thanks for the info Dell and others. I need that right now.Cheers - mako ... Ain't this great ... after some five-plus years or so, that others can still get practicable assistance from the forums!

Using the advanced search features - I have been able to access a considerable amount of valuable data.

Glad to be of assistance, Mako!

Thanks again Dell.

Mmm - well - I've played around with this for several hours now and I just can't get Sawstudio to relax. It keeps taking on SAC's 32 buffer setting and I just get garbled audio.
I can finally get MWS sounds coming through SAC but the whole "SAC takes centre stage and SAW relaxes" just isn't working for me.
SAW, MWS and SAC are all the latest updates.
M/C is HP probook 6550b with Win 10 LTSC.

Does anyone have any answers here?
Thank you

you shouldn't have to do anything more than setup SAC and then launch SAW Studio and connect use the SAC Link menu. You don't have to set any audio driver settings in SAW Studio. SAC and SAW have to be running the same bit depth and resolution, but there should be a pop up warning to tell you if they aren't.

I've done this on a lot of systems from XP to Win10 without fail.

How are you determining that SAW Studio is taking on SAC's buffer settings?

"How are you determining that SAW Studio is taking on SAC's buffer settings?"

Because SS switches from 512 to 32 - and - because the audio stutters horribly :)

Thanks

Can you walk through the steps you are doing to setup up SAC, SAW Studio and SAC link.
