Anyone use BC MB7-2 and catalina with VI
We had our 2,54 version working great until update to Catalina (my homestudio) on mac pro 7.1. Then it didn’t work on that mac so I updated to version 3.something and still it doesn’t work
I need that for Lie VI for Expressive E Touch but Bluecat doesn’t do anything. I load a VI in the box where it says plugin and then rec enable a VI track as we always done but nothing happens. Tried both those versions and same result. Do I have to do something more in Catalina as I had Mojave before with 2.54 and worked perfectly. Is there a setting or something i need for the MB7-II in Catalina or in protools!? Expressive E pedal and Lie works great in Live 11 but as they don’t have AAX i thought my MB-7 II would still work. I ask if anyone with Catalina and Bluecat MB7-II can let me know if you can use it as a host, either 2.54 or 3.0 and up please. I know they have their other host from Bluecat but i just paid for this update and still no bueno so i don’t wanna buy another POS from BC if they just stopped offering this feature without telling us on MB7-II. This is on Mac and Catalina 10.15.7. There is no use to try any other combo as this is the combo I have at home. Mac 7.1 28 core with PT ultimate 2021.10. Many Thanks in advance

Re: Anyone use BC MB7-2 and catalina with VI
not sure if related but i had a previous problem Bluecat not working suddenly and it was something to do with making sure the channel you are using it on has an active audio input, the other thing i remember was maybe dynamic plugin processing didn't work with one version of blue cat

Re: Anyone use BC MB7-2 and catalina with VI
MB7-II V3 is at revision 3.42. It's now a single installer for the plugin on Macs for this and some of their other plugins. Unless you need the multiband capability I'd grab Patchwork which has both a regular plugin host version and one tweaked for vi's.
edit for additional: I just tried in PT 2021.6 on OSX 101.3.6 with MB7-II V3.42 using an instrument track and the Arturia Farfisa. No response to incoming MIDI. When I swapped out MB7-II for Patchwork Synth and the Farfisa on the instrument track the Farfisa responded perfectly. No record enable needed, nothing. |

I can get it to work on Mojave , 2022.4 bluecat mixer 3.33
create new inst track, insert blue cat mixer, route midi on channel to the bluecat as not automatically done. 1 band mixer, insert Audio unit synth - i used diva rec arm track - no audio as you describe when playing but now with the audio input on that track which defaults to no input, select 1+2 or any , and it now works turning back to no input and it still works, dont know why but suspect its something to do with the Dynamic plugin processing. If i have that option off and create the above i dont need to do the audio input assignment |

I'd still use Patchwork Synth instead if you don't need multiband. |

Re: Anyone use BC MB7-2 and catalina with VI
yes unless dynamic processing is off on my system I have to do the audio input setting or the listed setup doesn't work. I actually had this problem with my template which has a Bluecat Patchwork with a number of audio unit plugins generating various clocks and timecode for my hardware, when I open a session all my analogue gear etc is synced up.
but after one update , whether OS , or PT or Bluecat it stopped working and I was scratching my head until I set the audio input and it worked as it used to. EDIT: https://www.bluecataudio.com/Blog/ti...ynth-or-effect. this might be what the original poster is coming across "instruments will not produce any sound if PatchWork is fed with silence" |
