Hi Tim

Not for now, maybe one day in the future. Meanwhile just send your midi track through the IAC-driver (Audio-Midi-Setup) to Midi Gender. Maybe you could route the audio back to your DAW by soundflower (virtual audio port), but this is not tested.

Hi Otmar,
Many thanks! This looks wonderful. As a performance tool, it looks like it is designed as a stand-alone program. Is there any plan to add a version that can operate as a virtual instrument (e.g., AU, VST) that would work along with Pianoteq and other software instruments inside MainStage, Logic Pro, etc.?

Again, many thanks!

Best regards,
Tim

Hi Tim

I don't know if you have seen those, both receive MIDI (physical and virtual) and can play midi files. The tuning is adjustable.....

P.S. there's a Windows version too on request.

I'd like to be able to perform some gender wayang music on my keyboard/laptop, and am looking for a relatively simple sound source. I realize there are some (very large) gamelan instrument sample libraries available for purchase, but I'm wondering whether anyone has created physical models of Balinese or Javanese metallophones and gongs. I need two pentatonic-tuned metallophone voices, slightly detuned relative to each other, to split on my keyboard to play in the wayang-style, which is essentially a Balinese 2-part invention.

I love using Pianoteq as my primary instrument, and am wondering whether any of you know of something similar for gamelan instruments? Could the PT xylophone be modified into Balinese/Javanese tunings?

Many thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Tim
