Hello all. I am still very new to Usine. Just purchased it yesterday. One of the my tries was to run my favorite VST plugins in Usine.

I like to play with all kinds of sequencers, for example the Sequencer Megababy plugin from Reaper which can be downloaded for free with their free plugin collection - or the Monoplug B-Step sequencer. http://b-step.monoplugs.com/

They load well, but for some reason I cannot get them working by pressing the play button. It is as if they are missing some signal or impulse that they can start sequencing when I press play. Before I am going to try it with more different sequencer VSTs, I want to ask if there is a special trick that I must apply to get midi data out of this kind of plugins?

It seems to be no problem to control b-step with my launchpad. Usually it should start working when I press the play button in my daw, but here it is not the case.

Best regards.

Hello magickz and welcome
you're right, the synchro don't start with this plug in ( other sequencer like step machin for example, woks fine)
Don't know if it's a limitation of the demo version but in its setup i can change the master synchro to slave..?
have you try this..?

we'll investigate anyway

Hello Nay-Seven,

thanks for the answer. I guess that is the reason. It is not a demo version.


On the KVR website I can read their specification: "MIDI Clock master (up to 400 BPM) or slave (standalone)."

So, I also asked on the Monoplugs forum for their advice. As soon as I know a solution I'll report it here.

If there is no other way, maybe I better stick with some of the really nice Usine sequencers


Best regards, Martin

of course, it's a good idea to test and create your own sequencer in Usine, ( you can also find some good ones in the add _ons tab ) but this issue with the B-Step plug-in will be solved in the next release.

Hi nay-seven, senso-Team,

I'm the B-Step developer. If you have any question to solve this problem please let me know.

Best

Hello monotomy and welcome

Congrats for your Plug-in , seems to be a great tool !

btw, as said in my previous post the team has find the issue and this will be solved in the next release

Ups, sorry! I reading to fast sometimes.

Thanks for the flowers, but your DAW looks also nice!

All the best!

Thanks a lot!

I must say, after playing around with Hollyhock for a few days, and working through some chapters in the manual, it becomes quite addictive - and a great modular environment for my favorite modular synth.

Hello Nay-Seven,

I want to confirm that the latest update solves this issue with the B-Step Sequencer successfully. Thank you very much! That is very great. And I begin to love the Usine features more and more the more I understand how to make my patches. Now I can use them in combination

Edit: I took a few minutes time and prepared a short instruction for absolute beginners, to post it in the monoplugs forum. Here it is:



Best regards.


P.S. I do not know how to do it, but now you can change the topic headline into "Sequencer VST Plugin in Usine working great"

Thanks for your feedback and thanks for this well done tutorial , all communication around Usine is really appreciated !
