[RWP] Ivory 2 grand and keystation pro 88 problem.

[Jim Noseworthy]

David:

Thanks for your comments.

Actually, I have a lot of experience with the ivory 2 pianos and, using the
JAWS cursor, I can access all of the parameters in either Reaper or the
Ivory Cantabile VST hosts.  I'm just having a problem connecting my keyboard
to the synth in Reaper. It works fine in the Cantibile host program.

The problem might also be in the way that i have my Mackie Onyx 1220I set up
for Reaper.  We shall see.

Thanks all over the place.

Hi Jim & Greetings again from The Land Down Under

Just some thoughts re your problem Jim...

>From memory, my Key88 is Set to Channel 1.

When Ivory 2 initially loads it loads with a Default.program which you can
find in the

Synthogy / Libraries / ...

This Default program is actually an empty program as far as I know...

To get my Ivory working as I could not load the programs at first... I
copied one of the programs from the sub directories and renamed it Default
in the correct directory...

This enabled me to get a program sound working...

Are you absolutely sure that the programs are loading when you Choose the
one you want?

There are two ways of selecting the program, I think you can Double Click
the program name or Select the name and then Click on the OK Button...

Let me know how you go...

Still thinking about other reasons why the Key88 might not be doing its
thing...

Is the Key88 able to talk to other VSTs that you might load?

Kind regards

Thanks all over the place for your comments.

My Keystation Pro 88 is currently set to "all channels" so, I assume it
should work.

Again, thanks much.
