I was a dedicated Windows user until about 5 years ago.

(And, yes, I would recommend Apple for working with music if you have the resources.) The sounds were incredible, the keyboard not so much. It works on Mac (10.7 or later) and PC (windows 7 or later), in standalone or as a plugin (VST / AU / AAX) and in 64 bits only and is compatible with all modern daws.īefore I connected my Roland, I used a small MIDI keyboard plugged into the computer via USB and it worked with UVI Workstation. We provide it for free with every library that you buy, you don’t need to buy an expensive sampler to use our products. Ravenscroft 275 comes with its own sample player, the UVI Workstation 3 (requires v3.0.0 or later). Did you download the UVI Workstation? On the site, at the bottom of the Ravenscroft 275 page it notes: (I found several useful reference sites.) Check your manual and look for YouTube instructional videos. Turned out there were a number of fiddly steps involving both the keyboard and the computer that took me some time to figure out. I thought it was as simple as plug and play. But I know that at first I had trouble connecting my Roland with my Mac. I can’t help you with Windows and I don’t know what keyboard you’re using. Then a single login to the PA account through the plugin will authorize all the PA plugins you just installed.First, you need to make sure that your keyboard can communicate with your computer. After installing you close the installer, start your DAW and load up a plugin.

From within you can install all your PA plugins and even those you don't have for a demo license. You download an installer, run it and leave it in your temp directory or whatever. I just wish I had a USB hub for the dongles that was built like a fireproof safe or something.Īfter they updated it and their plugins don't cause issues with Steinberg DAWs any more, my favorite one is Plugin Alliance's scheme. The, I dunno, hundred maximun bucks you pay for an iLok, eLicenser (for Steinberg products and some otters) and a USB stick is absolutely nothing for a business of enterpreneur.

Some people dislike these, having to pay for them etc, but most of plugin makers' money comes from professionals, I'd think, and so the copy protection scheme matches that. I don't mind iLok or eLicenser, and nowadays Waves also allows you to make your own USB dongle using a regular USB stick. Softube used to have this annoying Gobbler thing, I dislike every copy protection scheme which requires you to have an additional application on. I've had some small troubles, like changing my hardware ID so Waves thought it was a different computer, and some plugins every now and then thinking I'm on a new computer.
