Hi Costas,

I download htm1 two times - my pc means, that the zip-file is corrupt. I can unzip it with error messages but the dll is not working/corrupt.
It´s a problem on my machine.....?
Greetings from Northern Germany and sorry for my "bad" school english...

Hi Martin,

Sorry about that. I made the zip file on a Mac and and it seems some PCs did not like it.

I have made a new one (using a PC ) So try again and it should work!

cheers,
Costas

Can the string on/off buttons be controlled via a midi controller? If so how do you assign them?

[costas]

No, not from within HMT1. However, they can be automated using VST automation, so if your host supports mapping MIDI controllers to VST automation then that should work. I know both Ableton Live and Reaper can do this, not sure about others. Which host are you using?

I am using vsthost for this, for a DAW I use Propellorheads Reason. Although I am still looking at other DAW's. I am trying to get the best setup for playing live, not recording.

Ah, I see. Both Reaper and Ableton Live and pretty stable, so they might work for you playing live. Reaper also has very good routing capabilities and it's free to download and evaluate for 30 days.

Thanks for the youtube it clears every thing up for me. I can just run multiple Hmt1's and turn them on and off for different sting configurations. This is a great little vst. Thanks for sharing it.
