Ableton Forum

How do folks,
Having narrowly missed out on a Creamware Minimax on an Ebay auction, I was scouring for another. Then my friendly local music store owner pointed me in the direction of the Plugiator by Use Audio.
For almost half the price of a brand new Minimax I can get the Minimax in this new box along with three other synths (Lightwave, B4000 and Vocodizer).
OK - you don't get the same interface (control is either via the very limited 5 pre-assigned knobs on the hardware or via GUI on screen for the entire set-up) and therefore don't get the same hands on playing pleasures.... but sound wise, is this too good to be true?
All the reviews are good - with the exception of the playing experience.
Anyone out there had a go?
I reckon I'll be taking the plunge this weekend.
Cheers.

Hi Dr.

I recently got the plugiator and it's very much what I was looking for: additional dsp power to my laptop, with outragious sound possibilties.
The only drawback is the fact there is no VST environment, because the Plugiator uses it own platform, primarily based on the famous creamware goodies.

Still i am wondering if any other plugiator user can explain me how to use a tool like loopbe in Live.
I can't get it stable and need to do trial and error changes in my Abl. preferences.
So my main question:

Is there someone out here on this forum who can explain me how to configure the plugin manager of the plugiator and ABLs preferences to be
able to use it like some sort of a vst in live? Unfortunately Use Audios support didn't help much till now. I would be very gratefull.

Audios,

Raphta
