Hi,
For anyone interested. Got it working perfectly.

Piano: Kawai ES-100
Midi to USB: Roland UM-ONE

Had a Casio 4200 first. The USB to host did not allow both applications (Pianoteq and Piano Marvel) make use of the Midi intput. Tried all the virtual things, but no succes.

The Kawai only has a Midi out so had to buy a midi to usb converter.
Somehow the Roland driver makes it possible to have two applications make use of the Midi signal.
Only one of them could make use of the internal soundcard however.

So bought a Roland Duo Capture. It can act as a soundcard and mixer.
Now I have a second soundcard with own low latency ASIO driver.

In pianoteq I select the DUO-Capture as device.

In Windows however do not select the DUO capture as default playback device, but still use the Realteq High Definition Audio (My internal soundcard) as default device.
Piano Marvel now makes use of the internal soundcard.

The line out from the computer can go in the line in of the DUO capture if you want to mix the two sounds and use the same set of speakers.

(The Duo Capture has one quirck. Have to toggle the button 'Input Monitor' form OFF to On again to have it accept the line in)

Regards,
Hans

Can anyone tell me if a floatingpoint processor is needed for running Pianoteq?

Of course - all the number crunching that Pianoteq does depends on FPU, as well as SSE2 instructions, and if you have a multicore CPU, Pianoteq will love it!

But that question wasn't really related to the thread title...

I have got an other question.
Can anyone tell me if a floatingpoint processor is needed for running Pianoteq?

Hi Crystal,
I'm in the same situation.
Can you explain how you solved it with LoopBe1?
LoopBe1 shows up in as active MIDI input but I get no sound.
Thanks Hans

I'm afraid that after continuing to work with it, LoopBe1 just lagged too much to be usable, so I ended up deleting it. So I don't have the settings I used and, alas, can't remember them. I wouldn't recommend fighting with it, though - it was a dead end.

I ended up giving up on PianoTeq providing sounds when I practiced.

LoopBe1 was what I needed - it worked great.

Thanks!

The short answer is "there's no easy way", I'm afraid. The 'correct' way would be Piano Marvel acting as a VST host. Since this is apparently not possible, you will have to get a bit creative.

You can try to host Pianoteq in a VST host like SAVIHost, enabling SAVIHost's MIDI routing and connecting it to Piano Marvel via LoopBe1. SAVIHost can show latency problems, so a 'real' VST host like Reaper or another DAW would be better, though. All in all quite a complicated setup... though it should work, in theory at least. I haven't tried it, your mileage may vary.

I am using Piano Marvel to learn to play piano, but would like to use Pianoteq for the piano sound when I play. Unfortunately, it seems like my keyboard's MIDI can only be input into either Pianoteq *or* into Piano Marvel.

Is there a way to have my keyboard send to both?

Thanks,

Crystal
