Just ordered Faderfox EC4, want to use it to control 3rd party VSTs, any users here? How you setup your vsts within the unit?

Time & tone bundle working ok here, maybe try updating the softube stuff, as there was an update recently, plus try your graphics drivers, as a lot of Sotfube stuff uses OpenGL.

May help others if you post your solution.

You are using the correct drivers for it? Remember there have been 3 generations of scarlett interfaces and the drivers are different for them all.

Nothing can still handle third party vsts in standalone yet, which most Ableton users use plus how can you exclude different edition users from standalone push, plus also cutting out all those max for live users and creators. Not gonna happen. Ableton is a full blown DAW the others you mention...

And quite right too. No need for standalone at all. A laptop with push2 can be more powerful than any standalone.

I dont have a Mac myself, but sounds like a USB issue to me. I hear some Mac's can be very picky regarding USB inputs/power to those devices etc.

Plus the Strike Multipad natively maps to ...
