Subject:Re: Acoustic Samples B-5


Great to know, thanks. Was curious myself, but I hate when companies don't offer demo versions and things like this happen. Good luck and maybe try to write them and see if they can help solving some of those problems?

Shame I couldn't 'try before I buy', because if I could have, I'd have never have bought it (read on).

Last night I thought I'd try it in the standalone UVI Workstation player that it runs in, and had a dreadful experience - I found it very difficult to set up outside of a sequencer or host such as Forte, the midi learn wouldn't work, and it kept crashing and at one point was telling me I didn't have a license for it - you just can't have that behaviour if you intend to play live! Also, the documentation for both B-5 and UVI W is very poor IMO. Also, I can't get enough volume out of B-5 (either as a VST or standalone) - the signal is noticeably less hot that VB3, B4 and other VSTs I use. I might try it in Cantabile, although that means more expense, so I may just write it off as 'showed great promise, but not suitable for my live environment'.
