MidiYoke: Out of Date in a 64bit World (+ SOLUTION) #10

Open WillpowerNeeks opened 3 years ago

It's 2020, and I'm just learning about the capabilities of the Rock Band 3 keytar and its dongle. After a long evening testing my DAWs and various programs on Windows 10, I've come to the following discovery.

  1. The driver will work in a 64-bit environment.
  2. MidiYoke will not send MIDI to a DAW or a virtual instrument unless it is running as a 32-bit program.

That's a little rough to deal with if you're like me and use these programs with performance in mind. While I have bridges set up, I wanted a virtual MIDI cable that required little setup and could be left alone. Fortunately, I've tested it, and the LoopBe1 Driver fills the void left by MidiYoke in a 64-bit environment. If you're searching for something which will do the trick without depending on 32-bit versions of your favorite instruments and DAWs, this will do the trick. (And remember, don't close that rb3_driver window!)

You can find this second driver over at: https://nerds.de/en/loopbe1.html
