microchords dialog problem? ricobasso Yesterday at 10:07 AM Forum: Beginners Forum Jump to new postsJump to new posts
I want to make a song ending where the last two bars/measures have whole note triplets over the first 6 beats and then stops at beat 3 of the second bar. In other words, in the last two bars, the instruments play in 6/8 but over the original 4/4 tempo. I've experimented with rests and motifs in microchord settings and changing the time signature and tempo but can't seem to get what I want. I'm particularly confused by the fact that the microchord dialog box still shows 4 beats when the time sig is set to 3/4! Is this correct or have I uncovered a bug? If this is as intended, how can it work?

Anyone understand Maizeplayer VSTs? ulrichburke Yesterday at 05:39 AM Forum: Beginners Forum Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Dear Anyone. Got a little collection of Maizeplayer VSTs because I loved the sounds on their walkthrough videos - and I can't make them work! I downloaded the player and the sounds as 2 separate downloads - this is for each of them - and the instructions said put the folder with the sounds in, in the same VST folder as the player. Which I have. I've now got 8 of the things. 2 of them actually DO work perfectly happily. The other 6 just come up saying 'Cannot find instruments'. ONE of them lets me double-click on it and locate its instruments, which it then loads. The other 5 won't let me do that, I've no idea why. The one that DOES, even though it's a Maizeplayer same as the others, won't let me load the other ones' sounds into it - again I don't know why, as they're all Maizeplayers, you'd think you could load eachothers' sounds into any of them. So I'm stumped and stuck with a collection of things that won't find their own sounds! Anyone got any ideas? If there IS a way to get one of them to play all the sounds, tell me and I'll do it that way. I've bought them all legit., which is even more annoying as it means I've chucked money away unless I can get them going (with your help.) Yours respectfully, Chris.
