Hi friends,

Brand-new user here, please be gentle! :') 

I'm in the process of following the protocol to rescan all my VST3 plugins in Isadora USB Key (I quit this process during install, so went back and deleted the Preferences file, and it did re-start the scanning/validation process—KUDOS to the forum for helping with this!).

All of my plugins work fine in Ableton, but it looks like many of them have a Validation Warning in Izzy. Soundtoys and Native Instruments have a green check mark for Validation Passed, but UAD, Antares, and Aberrant DSP all have a "Validation Warning." 

Can anyone offer guidance as to why this might be happening & best practices on how to proceed? Should I just stick to the validated plugins and ignore the others?

In case it's relevant, I'm on an M5 Macbook Pro and many of the VST3s that come with a warning are connected to UA Connect / iLok. I don't have access to regular Isadora, only the USB Key version.

THANK YOU!

Hi, it's been a minute since I have used IZZY, but I was curious about the DMX workflows. Now that we're in Izzy 4 (last time I used Izzy it was somewhere still in a 3 variant), what are the current best practices for sending and receiving DMX? I am mostly concerned about Art-Net and sACN because I never use ENTEC or USB DMX on my shows. I am interested in receiving cueing and show control data from an sACN source and doing projector dimming via Art-Net. Do you separate these out into indiviual VLANs on the machine? Do I have to do DMX over a single VLAN?

Hi,

I have tested SurgeXT extensively in Isadora. however, I used OSC communication to programmatically control presets and other parameters. Of all the VST’s I looked at during the testing phase Surge XT stood out because of the functionality of accessing preset effects lists through accessible communication protocols inside Isadora.

Best wishes

I'm impressed! Congratulations for the really cool implementation of audio actors, i am looking forward to working with them in my next project!

@woland  De acuerdo! Muchas gracias!

@jaio

You can, but make sure that your display shows up with arefresh rate of at least 60Hz, otherwise there's no reason to go above 30Hz.

Muchas gracias @Woland por toda la información.

Tengo otra duda, acerca de la configuración de Preferencias de Isadora según mis videos a 60Hz:

¿Debería poner a 60Hz el Target Frame Rate y el Timecode Rate for new Files en el User interface?

Un saludo

@dusx Thanks for clearing this out. It would be nice though to have a fourth "Reset" button in the screen above.

Surge XT

 I can't say I have much experience with Surge XT so I might be missing something, but have you setup your Midi in and out normally under the Isadora communications/Midi Setup dialog, and ensured the midi in port of the VST actor is set to match?

@eight here at our university we use the Hollyland Mars 4K for Kameras: https://www.hollyland.com/product/mars-4k
They are cheaper than Teradek but they have a delay, they say 60ms on the website but its rather 70ms.
