Using Scope with Logic and Fruity Loops

Gockel · Post by **Gockel** » Mon Aug 22, 2005 11:13 am

I have 2 problems...
first one:
I want to make a fruity loops drumbeat for a logic/sfp project. does anyone know if i can synchronize logic with fruity loops?
second one:
as the asio scope driver can only be used by one program (which is logic in my case) i have to run fruity loops over my internal soundcard.but i can't get its outputs directly into sfp though there are software i/o's called soundcard source/dest...
so right now i listen to fruity loops over fucked up pc speakers connected to my internal sound card's output... that's bad now, but will be worse if i succeed to synchronize them... can anybopdy help?

Thanx!!!

Hmm, can't you use normal DirectSound/Wave Source drivers for FruityLoops? (sorry if it's a silly question, not familiar with FruityLoops)

I'm 99% sure you can, but the latency will bite.

I think you can use Fruity Loops as a VST plugin though, can't you?

For sync, I would guess that, if nothing else, you should at least be able to send "start" / "stop" / etc MMC messages to Fruity Loops via MIDI.

Logic -> SFP sequencer source -> SFP sequencer dest -> Fruity Loops

Oh... no silly question, symbiote, if anything's silly here then it's me... had my built in soundcard set as standard for playback in my windows settings, that's why i didn't get anything out of the wave source device when i tried a wave driver for fruity loops...
the latency with the wave driver is really bad, up to 110ms depending on the project. i compensated it a bit by delaying the logic tracks but doesn't work too well... i didn't try using fruity loops as a plugin yet, but i guess i will... so far, thanks a lot to both of you!!!!
