In Use

Using the Standalone Version

The standalone version of SOLO allows you to play the virtual instrument without it being hosted in a DAW. To start playing the virtual instrument first make sure you have a MIDI controller plugged into your computer and have an Audio Interface that can support low-latency sound.

Click the Options button on the top, then select the Audio/MIDI Settings button. A dialog box will open up where you can select the output you would like to send audio from SOLO to along with its respective Sample Rate and Audio Buffer Size.

Select the MIDI controller you would like to use via the Active MIDI Input dialog box. If you have a Bluetooth MIDI controller, select the Bluetooth MIDI button and select the appropriate controller.

Close the dialog box once the Audio/MIDI settings are complete. You can play sounds by selecting a category within the Category area on the left-hand side and then a preset from the Preset area on the left-hand side.

Using the Plug-In Version

The VST / AU / AAX version of SOLO needs to be played through any DAW that supports the VST and/or AU format. Load the plugin within the DAW and ensure that it is receiving MIDI to play it. Once the plugin has been selected and can receive MIDI and output sound, you can play sounds by selecting a category within the Category area on the left-hand side and then a preset from the Preset area on the left-hand side.
