stylus rmx updated to 1.2

three brand new, professional quality effect modules, as well as enhanced compatibility with major host applications. The update is available now as a free download for all registered users from the Spectrasonics website in all supported plug-in platforms.

The Stylus RMX virtual instrument plug-in also adds compatibility for 8-pairs of multiple audio outputs in both Digidesign Pro Tools v6.7 and Apple Logic 7. Multiple outputs are also currently implemented in VST host platforms.

New Stylus RMX Version 1.2 Features:

Three Brand New Effect Modules:
Radio Delay – A unique, de-syncable Dual Delay unit with radio-style filters and overdrive provides "radio-ized" rhythmic echo effects that are ideal for many kinds of loops. The tempo control can be either sync'ed to the host or set manually for that "slightly out of sync" feeling and many other useful sounds in modern groove production.
PRO-Verb – A world-class quality reverb unit with extensive shaping controls and gorgeous sound quality. This new reverb rivals the quality of the best outboard gear, and is extremely versatile –with sounds ranging from high-end room simulation, studio chambers, plates and concert halls to unique resonator effects and bizarre sound design colors. The ambient signal can be "frozen" in time for ambient drones and it has a variable CPU control for adjusting to the needs of various systems and processing situations.
Spring Verb – The spring returns! A funky retro effect that faithfully models the sound of the old vintage ‘spring reverb' tanks of yesteryear, with loads of original character. The stereo image can be drastically altered and tone-shaping controls can be placed before or after the spring. Perfect for dub mixes and if you want your tracks to have that "classic" sound of the 50s and 60s.
New Effect preset library of over 450 presets and rack presets created by Spectrasonics.
Single Effects Patch Management: save, copy, paste, or load an effect patch by right-clicking the effect.
Effect Rack Patch Management: save, copy, paste, or load an entire three-effect rack with custom rack patches by right clicking the rack. Rack patches may be used as inserts on individual parts, inserts on edit groups, on any of the 4 auxiliary racks or as mastering effects.
"Next Bar" trigger mode: automatically start a groove at the beginning of the next bar, great for simplifying recording stereo audio into a host like Pro Tools precisely at the preferred bar, and for live performance applications.
Multiple Outputs in Apple Logic 7: load a "Multi Channel" version of RMX in Logic 7 for access to eight stereo outputs and processing with external Logic plug-ins or through the physical outputs of a multi-channel audio interface.
New MIDI Learn and Automation parameters: The master Play button can be used with parameter automation or MIDI Learn to start playback of Stylus RMX at a specific point in a song or from a control surface. The Half and Double speed buttons are now also added to the 10,000 parameters that are MIDI controllable in RMX.
Pro Tools parameter automation: automate any RMX parameter using Pro Tools' standard automation.
"MIDI CC" footer value display option shows MIDI CC events received by Stylus RMX — useful when doing MIDI learn operations.
Multiple Outputs in Pro Tools v6.7: Send any sound in RMX through 8 pairs of stereo outputs.
Various additional enhancements and improved performance.

New RMX Community Area
In addition to the new 1.2 version of Stylus RMX, Spectrasonics has announced the launch of a new "Community Area" on its website for registered Stylus RMX users. The new web area has many useful downloads and will be updated regularly with new information. The Community Area has links to the latest software updates, updated and new video tutorials, a FAQ section combining the answers to many of the most asked tech questions, "Index for the Video Tutorials" PDF documents in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Japanese, and Host Set Up Tutorial PDF files explaining how to use Stylus RMX multi-timbrally with 8-MIDI channels and "drag & drop" MIDI file procedures for various host software including Ableton Live, Digidesign Pro Tools, and Apple Logic. The web area also has a "Multi patches" download for

Yeah, that's nice. I own RMX and took the update. But how do you make it appear in Live?

You'll need to make live point the vst folder where RMX lives or possibly copy the .dll vst file from the RMX folder into the vst folder that live is currently pointing at.

If you check your preferences I hope you can understand what I am talking about

Does anyone know how to send MIDI output from RMX (for example, the drag and drop feature in the chaos designer section does not work)?

Yes, I'm doing all this but the RMX doesn't show up in Live. It does in all my other audio host applications though. (BTW, I'm on mac and use the AU version of RMX)

1. make a folder on your desktop and call it something like "RMX Midi"
2. drag midi files from stylus to that folder.
3. point lives browser to that folder and drag to the appropriate midi track

done

Word. A simple and effective solution. Just what I was hoping for. Thanks future.

There's an excellent PDF document on this somewhere at www.spectrasonics.net (maybe it's in the goup area where you have to log in by your serial number)

Another thought... I've done this before since Live gets broken when loading VSTs... point the VST folder in live to another folder, let it scan... and then point it back to your original VST folder. For some reason this seems to fix broken VSTs in Live sometimes.

Or possibly you've fixed this in some other way already...

Per Boysen · Post by **Per Boysen** » Tue Jan 25, 2005 3:23 pm

No, I've not been able to fix it yet. Thanks for the tip though. But the Stylus RMX component is only installed as Audio Unit and only the VST folder can be "browsed" from inside the Live pref's window. This might be an OS X realted bug in 4.1 so I'm sending a report to the Abletons.

Make sure that Live scans the folder where you keep the Stylus plug-in so it can locate the VST.

Also, go to the Spectrasonics site and download the tutorial on using Stylus RMX with Live, it will explain all you need to know about RMX as a drag-and-drop Midi device in Live. The tutorials are in the user area of the Spectrasonics sites.

Stylus RMX is a killer app and a PERFECT add-in for Live!

The 1.2 update from Spectrasonics was excellent. 3 new instruments, a boatload of new presets, and new features. They are a great company with a great product.
