Hello KVR-Forum!
I'm just testing the demo-version of Cantabile and i'm greatly impressed by this programm! I want to use it for my band as effect and vsti host for Guitar and Keys in live situations.
For this I would like to change (sub-) sessions for the Keyboard and for the guitar indepent from each other, but I want to use just one Computer.
In an other thread i read, that it is possible to have more than one instances of Cantabile running the same time. Did I understand that right? If yes, I can't figure out how.
Tanks for your help!
Running more than one Instance of Cantabile

Yes, you read right.
You can use "alt config" to run several instances in parallel. Basically you just need to start cantabile with a custom config file as parameter. Refer to the excellent manual for details.
Note also that you need one audio interface per instance. Usually you can't run the same ASIO interface with multiple applications at the same time.

Hi,
only additionally: you can handle this with only one soundcard if there are multiclient wdm drivers available. In this case the i/o devices of the soundcard have to be mapped biunique (f.e. out1/2 for first appl. out 3/4 for second appl.). Works here with RME HDSP Multiface and Echo Indigo DJx.

WDM is not ASIO and has usually higher latency... but you are right and one can try to use Asio4All with that. Sometimes ASIO and WDM drivers work in parallel too.

Hi TiUser,
maybe you are right - I can only tell about my soundcards. I can run 64-128 Bytes on Multiface and 128-256 bytes on DJx without problems here. In both cases I don't need asio4all.

Well, your sound cards are not quite the cheapest ones, especially the RME.
Good drivers pay back with better performance and usability.
I often use just the on board sound card with Asio4All and headphones.
Todays on board sound cards are not as bad as many people think - at least for line out they are often more than ok. Inputs are however not as good but still usable either for line signals.
I just write this because a lot of people think they need a lot of expensive HW to get started with the music making hobby - not because I want to say dedicated sound cards are obsolete or there is no audible difference.

Hi TiUser,
I agree in all aspects. concerning hammerfall DSP: the RME now has an age of 9 or 10 years. RME released driver-updates through the whole time. I don't mind a cent I payed for it. The cpu load is dramtically lower than with other soundcards. At least this means I can drive up to 70% more VSTis than with other soundcards. This also means less money for new DAWs.
