I figure your interests are at least, in part, the same as mine with regards to music. Think about what you might like to do in the future before you settle on a particular configuration. Coming from Windows, one VERY IMPORTANT thing to take into account is that, unlike Windows machines, with a Mac what you buy is what you get–as in you cannot (or not easily) add RAM or memory or upgrade graphics cards. Switching to a Mac takes a bit of rethinking, but the basic stuff is not that difficult. I started back when there was only the DOS operating system on PCs and jumped on board the Windows bandwagon from its first iteration. I was a dedicated Windows user until about 5 years ago. (And, yes, I would recommend Apple for working with music if you have the resources.) The sounds were incredible, the keyboard not so much. It works on Mac (10.7 or later) and PC (windows 7 or later), in standalone or as a plugin (VST / AU / AAX) and in 64 bits only and is compatible with all modern daws.īefore I connected my Roland, I used a small MIDI keyboard plugged into the computer via USB and it worked with UVI Workstation. We provide it for free with every library that you buy, you don’t need to buy an expensive sampler to use our products. Ravenscroft 275 comes with its own sample player, the UVI Workstation 3 (requires v3.0.0 or later). Did you download the UVI Workstation? On the site, at the bottom of the Ravenscroft 275 page it notes: (I found several useful reference sites.) Check your manual and look for YouTube instructional videos. Turned out there were a number of fiddly steps involving both the keyboard and the computer that took me some time to figure out. I thought it was as simple as plug and play. But I know that at first I had trouble connecting my Roland with my Mac. I can’t help you with Windows and I don’t know what keyboard you’re using. First, you need to make sure that your keyboard can communicate with your computer.
