Vocal synth Aquestone 2 released for free (Win and Mac 32 bits)

[kechi2dtm]

No manual... I could use a list of Sysex / MIDI event messages. Don't think they're identical to AquesTone, I just tried a lyric change from the first's manual, and it didn't seem to accept it.

CC49 00 will jump to the top line. CC49 01 to the 2nd line, and so forth.
this seems to crash my reaper though. cubase 6 is of course happy with CC49

And, for those looking for English manual for aquestone2. I have translated the manual and posted in my blog.

remember it's unofficial version!

I just found that if I use 64-bit version of Reaper, CC49 works just fine. I was using 32-bit reaper, because some of free VSTs, like Aquestone2, would only have 32-bit version. So, this was counter-intuitive to me but that's how it is...

The one thing that really bugs me about this is that it won't save the syllable set that I pick... Every time I close the window, it goes back to the previous set. Grrr. Irritating as hell. Otherwise, I love this thing!

Do you mean that when you close and re-open the aquestone2 UI, the current focus goes back to the top line? I think this is the design of the program. But, if you use MIDI message CC# 49 for every line of your lyrics, this should not be a problem at all. You can jump to any line (up to 127th line) by using CC49. You can check the detail in my blog (plz see my previous post).

Or, did I miss something??

Thanks kindly! I was looking for CC49 all this time, and was trying it with CC10... think that was it in the old English manual? Whoops.

Again, thank you so much for the translation, even unofficial, it should still be the same knowledge we need to know. This is very kind.

Welcome! Google translate helped me a lot, although there are many parts i had to correct a lot to make sense. hope this helps you guys until they have the official version.

No you didn't miss anything, that's what I meant yes

I do understand it was intended by the developer and I see the incentives of having done it that way. But I wonder if there couldn't be a way of still saving it to certain line of syllables if you so choose without using MIDI messages. I honestly haven't yet bothered with it past tossing Aquestone on a track and letting it add some fresh life to some stale pad or pluck sounds. I will most likely get around to going deeper into the program, but...just saying that I would like both options if at all possible.

Is there one? I only found a VST in the download.
