I have SpaceCraft, a VST that is also a standalone, running through HOST. I have two versions of SILO running, one through HOST, and one the HOST FX.
SpaceCraft is in Trk 1, SILO HOST in Trk2, SILO HOST FX in Trk 3. Both versions of SILO “see” and respond to the cv inputs from SHAPEMASTER, but I get no audio output to the mixer.
(AS an aside, I am getting a lot of drop outs in the audio here from SpaceCraft but the max CPU average is only around 35% so not sure why.)
SILO VST is an effect, so you need the Host FX module and you have to provide an input audio signal through L/MON (and also through RIGHT when the input audio is stereo).
Yeah, I would also use the AUX sends from Mindmeld Auxspander, as show in the picture. A really cool feature with this is if you click on the plus sign at the bottom of the fader, you can assign an aux send to a bus. Then using the GRP1, 2 etc knobs on the end, you can add for example the effects from Aux B to the effects from Aux A. This is useful for adding reverb to your delays for example, or you could feed the output from one plugin into another and get some really crazy effects.
Here I’ve just got Silo on Aux A, but having four sends is really useful and obviously you can control the amount of FX on each channel.
