Jim Hurley Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) I just used one of the pizmidi utilities and found it threw an error message saying it had an installation issue (see image). There is no installation, just make a directory and put them all there. Turns out an option needs to be modified now that was not needed before. I don't know if this is new or old, I don't use these very much. Anyway the fix is simple. In the vst folder there is a file 'pizmidi.ini'. Make the following change (in red): Quote ; pizmidi settings ; ; This file belongs in the same directory as the pizmidi VST plugin files. ; You can customize the loading of the plugins for different hosts. ; ; The host name is the one reported by the host via getHostProductString(). ; If the host reports nothing, put "host=unknown". ; ; The "bottom octave=n" setting is for octave numbering in plugins which display note names. ; This sets the displayed number for the lowest octave (containing MIDI note 0). ; ; Options are: ; force inst ; force effect ; audio outs ; audio ins ; no audio outs ; no audio ins ; bottom octave=n ; ; Default settings, put these first: default force inst audio ins audio outs bottom octave=-2 ; Then set per host if needed with "host=" ; Example: ; ;host=energyXT ;force effect ;no audio outs ;no audio ins host=Cakewalk force inst ; Jim 2019-Jan-24 made 'no audio ins' for Cakewalk no audio ins audio outs bottom octave=-2 Edited January 28, 2019 by Jim Hurley typo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Fogle Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) Jim, Thanks for taking time to report the error message and share your fix in the forum. I'm not familiar with pizmidi utilities. When I performed an internet search I discovered the utilities appear to have been created by Reuben Vinal and abandoned. As old as the utilities are do you have an idea how I might acquire a copy of the utilities that I can be fairly confident is bug and malware free?
