Broadway Big Band Dilemma Resolved
Alright, I got it all worked out. The clues were kind of in the manual - but only if you read it in the right order and made a few assumptions along the way.
Here is to get it working (thanks to kaver for helping me out):
1) If you didn’t already know (I didn’t) there are 3 applications that are in play here. Broadway Big Band Performer, Broadway Big Band Halion Player and Digital Performer. It doesn’t help that they all are variations of each others names.
2) Open the BBB Performer application (in your applications folder) then select an instrument and channel (use 1 for now).
3) Open up Digital Performer. Make sure “multirecord” is selected. Open an aux track and select the first BBB rewire 1&2 as the input.
4) Open up the BBB halion player. Under preferences set the port to “from …. whatever channel you selected in step 2. You will have to set this port EVERY time you open BBB Halion player as it does not get saved.
5) Load a corresponding sample into the halion player then point your midi channel in performer at that instrument and hopefully you are in business now.
This is a great library and it is worth whatever pain you have to go thru in order to buy/install/setup the thing.
Have Fun and send me some samples!
