Topic: Sonar 7 and Sibelius 5

I'd like to use Pianoteq with Sonar 7 and Sibelius 5. But I can't work out how to make these programs "see" Pianoteq. Can anyone help?

Re: Sonar 7 and Sibelius 5

Hi ,
If U need to see Pianoteq VSTi plugin in Sonar 7 meniu , U must reinstall Pianoteq again , and when U will be asked where to install VSTi Pianoteq plugin , U must show Cakewalk Sonar 7 VST plugins address , after Sonar 7 will see Your Pianoteq , or U can go another way , just open Sonar 7 / options/ global / Vst Plugins / Add , now find where , in which folder U install Pianoteq vst plugin , somethimes people instal in these addresses : Program files/Vstplugins ... or Program Files/Steinberg/Vstplugins , or Audio/Steinberg/Vstplugins .... just try to find ... Better to use one folder for Your VST plugins , for all aplications , U must be careful when installing Your programs . When U install Your Sonar 7 , Sonar by default make his own Cakewalk/Vstplugins folder ... in this case , when U install more plugins and use only one sequencer Sonar U can do like this , just install all plugins to... Cakewalk/vstplugins,  but if U use before other programs , like Steinberg Cubase  etc... they make tay own Vstplugins folder , in this case U must   find where Your Pianoteq , by default go ... For better work , like I say before is better to reinstall programs and make one , main vstplugins folder for all Your aplications ,and U will not have more problems , like ... I don't know where is my VST plugin " .... Good luck .

install a virtual midi device like loopbe1 http://www.nerds.de/en/loopbe1.html
then run your 2 application, in your application no-vst-able set loopbe1 as MIDI OUT ;
in your sequencer vst-able, set LoopBe1 as MIDI IN .

pay attention: against wrong settings, If a midi feedback is detected, LoopBe1 will immediately mute its port.
