Text: Hey would it be possible at some point to make a VST version of the ProSoloist software synth for macs in addition to the AU version? I guess it would just be a convenience factor; the only application I can currently use to open it is garageband (as an AU) file, and if I could open it with a VST host on the mac I would have some more flexibility. That's all! Thanks for your time, JOn Rizzo
Answer: That's a good suggestion, maybe we'll plan the MAC VST development soon. It mainly depends on how many people could be interested on it. Thank you.

Text: Hello, Have you any idea when the ppc mac verions will be available? Thanks Ian
Answer: Actually it is a bit hard to say. The PPC MAC version is in our plans, but it has a low priority because we're working more intensively on newer platforms. Anyhow as soon as we have more details we'll announce it.

Text: Hello there. Being a huge Genesis fan, I bought the AM ProSoloVst. Simply amazing, the sound of this synthesizer is very well recreated by the vsti. You did a very good job! Now I've got some problems to recreate some of the classic Genesis synth sounds. Can anybody tell me, what presets and touch sensitive controllers were used and active in the solos for "Cinema Show", "Riding the scree" (mainly the first synth sound in this solo), Entangled and how do I get the intro sound for "I know what I like" (which can be heard on the beginning of the track on the Seconds Out album)? If anybody can help, this would be wonderful!
Answer: Hello. It is not easy to answer to your question, because Tony Banks used the pro soloist synthesizer together to many effect processors. It could be very interesting to discover which type of effects are used in the songs you've listed. Maybe other arp users can help us to rebuild the very sounds of Genesis. However the preferred presets of Tony Banks should be Trumpet (Cinema Show), Telstar (Cinema Show and Riding the Scree), Pulsar (Cinema Show) and Fuzz Guitar 1 (I know what I like and In the Cage).

Text: Hi, I tried to load ProsoloistVST Win in SM Pro Audio VFX on my macbook but VFX doesn't recognize it. It worked fine with the VL 122 - plug (great plug btw). Any tips for me? Thanks in advance, kabuki
Answer: Hello, we have successfully loaded Pro SoloVst in SM Pro VFX for windows. Never tried that on VFX for Mac. I'll try to do that soon and come back with an answer. Thank you for your feedback.

Text: Hi, I have installed the Pro Soloist Component as per the instructions, but when I go to open it in my host, it does not show the keyboard or any switches. Only the outline of the synth is shown. I have an Apple MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard. Is there a known problem here? I also desperately want to use the VL122 also and need to know if I can use some sort of wrapper on a MAC? Thanks for making these keyboards. I used to own the originals of both of these. Mike
Answer: Hello. First of all thank you for your appreciation about our VSTs. The MAC component of the Pro-SoloVst has been developed and tested on Leopard 10.5.4 only. We know there are some problems with newer OS versions and we will fix them sooner or later. In the meanwhile you can try to use windows VST versions on your MAC through the SM Pro Audio VFX software (http://www.smproaudio.com/service/v-machines-software-downloads.html). It is the loader for the SM V-Machine, but it is also a good host/wrapper. And it is free!

Text: 2 questions guys. Will there ever be an RTAS version available. Also, is it Snow Leopard compatible? Much thanks
Answer: At the memont we haven't planned any RTAS versions in our developments. We have tested our Pro SoloVst on a Mac OS X 10.5.4 (Leopard) only, however we're planning to step ahead to the new OS. BTW you can try to load the demo version on your Mac and verify its compatibility. Thank you.

Text: Hello, my name is Kenneth Manning from Dallas,TX and I'm a Fender Rhodes collector. The ARP Pro Soloist is one of my top favorite vintage synths of all time. I've talked to other software developers about making this plug-in but no interests. Everyday, I get emails from Audio Fanzine and today under product news, I saw the VL-122 plug-in and clicked on the website. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the ARP Pro Soloist plug-in. Thank you very much for creating this. I've been searching for this for a long time. Every time I find a real ARP Pro Soloist on Ebay, I get out bid. I'm going to purchase this next Thursday when I get paid. Do you have any demos of it to hear? I didn't see any on you site. Please let me know and take care. Kenneth
Answer: Thanks for your appreciation. There aren't audio samples for our instruments yet, but we're planning to do something audible for both the instruments. Anyhow you can download the demo version and play it.

Text: I love the Pro Solovst. Would be great for you guys to have a shot on creating a virtual RMI Electrapiano. That would complete my wishlist to play Genesis and Yes music!
Answer: Hello. Yes, RMI Piano is a good instrument for prog from '70s, and we are funs of Genesis too. But before to start with a new development we should analyse if there is a good business case. BtW there is something new coming out from our side in a few days.... just wait few days... Thanks for the suggestion, we'll keep it in our mind.

Text: Hello! I see from your MIDI implementation spec, that you didn't support sustain pedal. Now, I know that the original didn't use it either, but I find sustain pedal very helpful when playing large jumps, and still wanting to retain the legato feel. Is it possible for you to implement sustain pedal (AND allow note retrigger while the pedal is held, this is important!) in the future versions, with just a simple switch "Sus pedal ON/OFF", with default setting OFF to regain compatibility with older version's patches? Much grateful!
Answer: Thank you for your suggestion, it could be a nice improvement. We'll take it in mind in future release.

I working on Macbook 2.4Mhz and as Frank, the Demo AU crashes after ca 2 Minutes, that I have to resart Logic or Mainstage (haven´t tried it with Garage Band, so far). I´d like to buy the AU but i´m nt shure if I´ll have the same problems then. Perhaps you´ve got a suggestion (Macbook 2.4 Mhz 4GB Ram, Mac OS X 10.5.7) best regards, Kabuki
Answer: Hello, we are now working in a new MAC AU release that should fix the problem you (and Frank) are experiencing. Thank you for your feedback.

Text: Hi, i'm testing prosolovst before buying it. i have serious troubles with Cubase LE v. 1.0.10 (a continuous beep and the vsti don't play...). With other hosts (VSTHost, Reaper, Mulab) no problem; only a click during changing preset switches. Thanks.
Answer: Hello. What Pro SoloVst version are you testing? We've just released the R1.08 where clicks should be removed. So, if you have a previous version, please try it again with the last one. However, we'll immediately investigate the Cubase LE 1.0.10 problem. Thank you for the feedback.

Text: Hi, congratulations for good job. I have a macbookpro Intel 2.2Ghz 10.5.7 and Logic studio pro suite, I tried prosoloist demo on it (logic and Main Stage too), but after change presets ( from fuzz gtr to trumpet for example) or switch prosoloist controls, audio output bumps and noises and then don't get any sound, neither I change virtual instruments. I have to reset sound card to have sound again. I want to buy, but I'm not sure to work properly ! Let me know ! Thx in advance and sorry for my english .
Answer: Hello, thank you for your feedback and congratulations. Actually we don't have experienced this anomalous behavior in our environment, so I can't say exactly what is the reason of it. By the way, we are immediately going to investigate about it and than come back with an answer/solution.

From: Paul
Type: Question
Product: Pro-SoloVst
Text: Hello, First, without even hearing the instrument, I think it's awesome that someone finally honored this iconic instrument (at least to lovers of early Genesis)! What I'm most curious about is: from my understanding of the original instrument, the keyboard itself was manufactured slightly different from the average synthesizer keyboard. The keys could physically be depressed deeper, and this is why the instrument was capable of such a dynamic range as far as volume swells, vibrato, etc. Was this compensated for in your design? Thanks!, Paul
Answer: Thank you for your appreciation, actually I am a lover of early Genesis too. Yes, the virtual instrument reproduces exactly the same aftertouch effects as the original one, but the quality depends mostly by the dynamyc response of the midi controller. Furthermore, if your controller doesn't have aftertouch, you can control the same effects through the modulation wheel (not in the demo version).

Answer: The problem is that your Mac is not Intel based: G5 is a PPC microprocessor (try to search Mac G5 on Wikipedia). Very soon we will release a new PPC compatible version. Thank you.

Text: Where are your audio demos to showcase the VSTi?
Answer: Actually there are no audio demos of the Pro SoloVst available on line. The only way to listen to its sound, at least for now, is downloading the VSTi demo from our website, load it in your VST Host and play it.

Answer: Actually the VST has been developed for windows platforms. Now we're working on Mac AU version. About Muse Receptor we should investigate. If we find a simple solution, we'll come back soon with it, otherwise you should wait a bit more time. Did you try to load the demo vst on Receptor, before to buy the official vst?
