The Dark Knight Rises German Rapidshare Download. It’s been forever since I thought about EAX, but you should know that we did add spatial audio in Windows 10 Anniversary Update. You can find a sample here: There are also two videos which explain it in more detail Finally, there was a blog post just a few days back covering how to do this: AudioGraph also has some built-in effects like delay and reverb, and a mechanism to enable you to create your own. From what I can remember, what we have in software today surpasses what EAX did in hardware over a decade ago. I know it’s not quite the same as DirectSound3d, but I’m also not sure we need the type of hardware acceleration today we did in 1997. We’re already able to service very small buffer sizes with demanding audio tasks on fairly modest current day processors and the vast majority of people use on-board sound cards for games.

More MIDI For Windows 10. This is completely transparent to your application. The Win32 Wrapper has also made the latest Windows 10 UWP MIDI API.

I remember back when the computer store had an entire aisle of nothing but sound cards — something you don’t see these days. Where we do see external processing today is external USB, Thunderbolt, PCIe, or other sound cards for music creation.

It’s the latter place where I’m excited to see some interesting innovation. Bob S Custom Saddle Serial Number. For example Universal Audio has externalized DSP for their music creation/editing plugins, doing the types of things you want, but for musicians, not gamers. In those scenarios, the processing load can be extremely heavy and so external DSP really helps the creator scale up what they’re trying to accomplish. So since i’m developing in straight c++ on win32 api, i can ignore all this, right?

It’s just for UWP apps. I notice that WASAPI breaks on a LOT more devices now. For example, the Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 which is a HUGELY popular bit of hardware.

When I query it, it says it’ll support a minimum latency of 3 msec. So, ok, I start using 3 msec and get terrible grinding audio due to the card not being able to actually DO 3 msec latency. On win7 and 8, it behaved just fine.

It COULD DO 3 msec latency audio. I checked how often my callback gets woken up. I told it 3 msec and it only wakes me up every 10. Thanks windows 10. You guys might want to fix that before working on UWP that no developer I’ve ever talked to (outside microsoft) wants to even touch. As I explained above, the Win32 wrapper was built specifically to make it easier for straight win32 desktop apps to use the Windows 10 UWP MIDI API.

So if you’re building a Win32 app, and you want it to light up on Windows 10 with features like Bluetooth MIDI, you would check the OS version, and then dynamically load the wrapper DLL and code to it. (There are other ways, but that is likely to be the most common). So no, please don’t ignore it. 🙂 WASAPI: Most people don’t get 3msec on USB devices even with straight ASIO drivers. A friend in Australia has put together a large table of real-world latency values and has them posted in a thread on in the latency measurement thread (I don’t have the numbers handy). I can get under 2ms round trip on my MOTU PCIe device, at 48k, using ASIO.

That said, I’d like to understand more about why it reports 3msec and can’t do it. I have a 2i2 for travel but haven’t taken any measurements off of it.

Feel free to email me at the address above and I’ll include a couple of the audio folks on the team to see if we can figure out what’s up. We’ve also added a bunch to Windows 10 to control latency. If you are using identical code to what you had in 7/8, you may be missing out on the small buffer support.

I’m quite surprised you were getting 3msec using WASAPI on 7 and 8. To the best of my recollection, even our internal buffers were larger than that, even in exclusive mode., and I’m just about positive our callbacks were slower than that.

Looking forward to use these MIDI improvements! The audio improvements are great: I can now use 192 KHz / 24 bit quality as default in Windows with my QuadCapture audio interface. Before the update, I don’t think I could even use 96 KHz with the Windows Mixer.

One feature I would love to see integrated in the Windows core audio is support for VST plugins, specifically VST effects plugins. One on the immediate use of such support would be system-wide room correction with a room correction VST plugin. This would be of tremendous value to many.

Cheers, Cedric. First off, can’t resist, even though “Pete Brown called to say I can make it okay,” I’m having a little issue. Pete, do I just need PeteBrown.PowerShellMidi.dll in order to do midi device discovery? It does detect for me Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth as an output device but it does not detect any other I/O. I have an older Presonus Firestudio 16/16 which shows up fine as digital I/O and the MIDI port seems to be okay as older SysEx programs find my various devices on the bus just fine.

I saw your post here and was immediately encouraged accuse I have an older synth (Roland GR-33) that only has a really old-school editor/librarian. I don’t have a problem using that prog for managing patches, but I would *love* a way to list the patches in the device quickly for planning purposes (i.e., lay them out in excel for setlists then program them back in using the legacy tool).

But I can’t even discover the MIDI port using your PS example though other progs see it fine. Any clue what I may be doing wrong? Now enough of my problems. What you’re doing here is AWESOME. The automation possibilities are pretty nifty.

I can think of *so* many things I could do with this and say any generic cheap control surface and some Arduino devices throughout the house. Forget audio, home automation!

Keep up the great work, Windows! BTW the VST suggestion is a great one – why is nobody voting it up? Hi, I don’t know if this is the correct place to post. I just purchased a Yamaha MD-BT01 and my Surface Book finds it and connects to it. I’m running windows 10 Anniversary edition. I have a Yamaha Disklavier piano with the MD-BT01 hooked up to the midi port.

I’m trying to use a program called Playground Sessions and my keyboard won’t show up. This setup works in an app call Flowkey without issue. Is there a way to get it to work in Playground Sessions? Do the developers of Playground Sessions software need to change something or add the new windows 10 Bluetooth LE api?

(not sure if I said that right as I’m not a software developer). I’d much rather use my Surface Book screen as it’s much larger than my iPad (which does connect). I appreciate any insight you could give. I am having multiple Roland devices (GR-30, SH-201 and GS-10) – none of which connects either through usb audio or MIDI with windows 10 pcs due to the use of their proprietary drivers that they refuse to update for Windows 10. I have tried backward compatibility and all possible connection modes with no success.

The only way I can use these as usb audio interfaces or as MIDI devices is by connecting them to either windows 7 or windows vista or windows xp (They don’t even work with windows 8.1). Can Microsoft do something about such situations that makes these hardware completely useless for recording? I have upgraded all my new devices to windows 10 except a very old Dell laptop that runs Windows XP. That is the only device that I can use to connect these instruments. I do upgrade my hardware and in fact have a newer Boss sy-300 (their latest guitar synth) which works with windows 10.

But it does not give me the sounds and connectivity choices that I can get with a GR-30 or a SH-201. Even with heavy investments and upgrades, it is frustrating to find these instruments rendered useless with no mistakes from the side of the consumer. Hi Some manufacturers choose to have their own custom drivers rather than use class drivers. In some cases, that’s because they were wanted to support things like multi-client use of the driver. We’ve addressed those concerns in the new API, but that only matters if everyone uses it. Some other controllers and instruments have a way to flip between a class-compliant mode (which works on all modern operating systems) and the proprietary mode.

Although we do talk to manufacturers, we do not have any way to modify their drivers or code. If they provide custom drivers, it’s entirely up to them to keep them up to date with later operating systems versions. However, there are some unsupported workarounds on the web which may work for you. This is one: Please note that that work around is neither supported nor endorsed by Microsoft or Roland, and could potentially result in instability or other problems. However, as a last resort, it may get you past the problem and back to using your hardware. (Note that the video comments also have some additional steps.) Pete.

Anyone know of a workaround for getting a BT device to work with MuseScore? I just got the Yamaha MD BT01, it seems to be active on my Yamaha piano (an older model so I was a little concerned about the plugs being powered), it pairs with my Windows 10 computer fine (and I verified it has been updated to Anniversary edition). But it then only appears as a Bluetooth device, not appearing as a connected device on that Settings page.

Additionally, my installation of MuseScore only has the following in an “API” dropdown list on the preferences page: MME Windows DirectSound ASIO skeleton implementation I’m not sure if anyone has already developed a work around or if I’m just out of luck until developers there add the newer Windows API. Thanks for any guidance you may have. Kind regards, Bruce.

Hi everybody, I’m having timing problems controling my old external synths/samplers with midi via my Midi USB interfaces (esi m8u xl, steinberg midex8, midisport 2×2) and Cubase. When I record the audio from my gears (while playing quantized midi tracks), its not perfect and totally tight. The best I can can have is between 0.1 and 0.5 ms differences on my audio tracks (which is okay for me), but when I restart cubase and record to audio the same midi track again (it might be 4ms later or before). I’ve read a lot about it (usb interfaces.) and tried lots of things with DirectMusic, WindowsMidi, cubase timestamps options, disable internet and antivirus, plenty of settings on cubase I made at least 100tests and still can’t get something that is always tight (less than 0.5ms). I recently purchased a steinberg Midex8 that has LTB system, supposed to work verry well with Cubase, it’s the best result I have but still not perfect. I’m on Win7 64b, sorry if i’m off topic, but I don’t see no solutions anymore.

I need help from developpers and I was also wondering if Win10 would get better results on midi tightness. Any help would be appreciated.

In a a recent blog post on the Windows Developer Blog by Pete Brown - hes the guy we spoke to last year about new audio and MIDi capabilities in Windows 10, we're told that MIDI over Bluetooth is now possible with the Windows 10 Anniversary update. Its in the form of Bluetooth LE MIDI, a standard that Apple are also adhering to. Its been added as a new transport referenced in the MIDI APi, which means that there are no code changes required to access it. Presumably this will mean we will see more MIDI applications coming to light as had happened in Apples proliferation of Bluetooth MIDI support, most notably, perhaps now we'll see hardware such as the new Korg NANO and MICRO units. Whats also interesting is that this will be able to access any Bluetooth LE enabled Windows devices - phones, tablets, PCs etc. When paired, the Bluetooth LE MIDI peripheral will show up as a MIDI device in the device explorer, and will be automatically included in the UWP MIDI device enumeration.

This is completely transparent to your application. The Win32 Wrapper has also made the latest Windows 10 UWP MIDI API available to 32bit dekstop apps too, with 'minimal friction' for the developer. We don't pretend to know the full ramifications at a coding level for these developments, but what it does show is the intent of the Windows 10 team to continue to encourage audio and MIDI application development by third parties and make it simpler where possible.
