fruity live project5

It's my understanding that you can only use project5 or fruity loops beta to host vsti then rewire into live. Well I've tried project5 and it's buggy as hell with my vsti's... Does anyone have a link/source for the fruity loops beta client? santa???

Treat yourself to Bidule. It has Rewire, plays nicely with Live, it's funky and it... no wait for it..... it... it.... it.... WORKS!!!!!!

Who says Santa doesn't exist?

yeah plogue rips, but the problem is it won't host sampletank...thus me needing the fruity beta....

isnt there a demo for fruityloop? the rewire bit is just an add-on you can download

it's not buggy as far as i can tell (it's at release candidate 2 i think)

it's slightly awkward to use compared with reason rewired (you have to click on a little window to switch between master and slave and you have to press play and stop in live for it to sync).

i like the fact that fruity that it has pattern sequencing - very cool!

flrewire is the bomb, not buggy at all, I perform with it weekly rewired to live, kick ass. Throw down the measly $125 or so and get it--it is awesome for the step sequencers capabilities alone, not to mention the vstis, dx efffects, older versions of waves plugins, .... P5 is dreadfully buggy as rewire, its interface is horrible, and it is cpu heavy--in short it sucks big time.

i have found the FLstudio rewire beta to be rather buggy--fruity freezes when closing, and the lack of transport control from fl is a drag. the dev team at fruity claim they are working on this, but presently the explanation is that fl is effectively running as a "plugin" during rewire, hence the need for the weird little switching window.

cpu usage is also pretty bad--lots of spiking during rewire usage. 50% cpu inside fruity as a standalone jumps to about 80% when rewired to live.

the beta is only available to fruity owners, unfortunately.

plogue is not really an equal replacement, since it doesn't handle sequencing.

Well it does to an extent. The Step Sequencer, allthough limited is now slavable since 0.6501.1 (latest).

As a replacement you can use various VST-based MIDI sequencers,
like stepchild, and there are more to come from other developpers...
stay tuned.

I have Project 5 and although it is CPU heavy, I have not found it buggy at all. I would recommend the combination with Live.

i wouldn't qualify step sequencing as comparable to a piano roll + event editor such as fruity. then again, plenty of people use trackers too.

to see what it lookslike:

and you could also use FruityLoops as a VST inside
Bidule (as ReWire Slave in Live),
and use its MIDI out to sync other VSTis

Or find ... another way of pluging all those things toghther
