I will check out the link. I want to add my recipe for live use too.

I use maize studio - http://www.maizesoft.cn/ms/

It's a free modular enviroment that you can setup as you want it. I find it straight forward use. I've got Pianoteq, Lounge Lizard, Xpress kybds - B4, FM7, Pro-53 - & EZdrummer setup on my laptop, to be played from my Axiom 61 which includes finger drumpads. Not a great weighted feel, but it's light & compact.

It's small and portable enough to carry to rehearsals, along with my acoustic gtr in the other hand & the laptop on my back. I'm using a Line6 UX2 toneport as soundbox, which I run my Ac gtr through it's virtual gtr modeller software, AND if that's not enough, my vox mic through it's preamp/ compressor section!

Quite a setup as I read this. And it works at gigs too!

How do others set up live?

Greetz,
Lukeman

I agree with that! Forte is the best!

Hello,

Don't know if it has been mentioned on this forum, already, but for those of you using Pianoteq and other VSTs live, I can recommend a great VST host: Forte from Brainspawn.

Without having tried any other program like it, I think it's safe to say that it's the best you can get.
Endless programming capabilities, easy to use, fast and very stable.

Plus, it's quite low-priced as well!

Check it out at: www.brainspawn.com
