M4L on PlugIn-Server?

Post by ArtificialStupidity » Thu May 05, 2022 12:59 pm

Hey Guys,
as Im trying to build a live setup for a kind of self-generating music, I had to experiene once again that my laptop is lacking a lot of power. Therefor I want to build my own "vst"-Server to exclude the VSTs from my main workstation.
There are several options like audigridder, vienna ensemble,...
BUT DOES ANYONE KNOW IF (and how) I CAN RUN M4L-DEVICES on such a host?
MAYBE EVEN NATIVE ABLETON DEVICES?

They all support the usual plugin formats but I cant figure out If theres a way to host ableton/M4L-Devices.

Im open for workarounds but please dont tell me to "just buy a new PC", "use third party vsts",...

Thanks for your help!

PS: Im working on Win10.

Well... it seems like you have at least 2 machine to re-sale 😬
You won't be able to host Live/M4L devices in any vst host.
You could host M4L devices in Max, though.
