Thank you for documenting your research and experimentation! I’m certain this will come in handy for somebody.
Yeah, that’s a timing/attention pattern I’ve noticed regarding Xmas stuff. BA1 has a Holiday themed registration reminder jingle or two that appear around that season when in trial mode.
We’re definitely interested in these rad little projects that could become awesome huge projects, or remain niche. I saw a video on YT from an account I suspect is Leif’s that has something like 30 RGB bulbs synchronizing to what looked like the BA1 or Omnia interface or something. None of the other current methods I’ve come across for music sync for my Hue were nearly that good.
Hi. I believe the Breakaway Pipelines and tools it uses are from Virtual Audio Cable. I recommend trying the VAC website and seeing if there’s a new version you can try. Regardless, I don’t think Leif is responsible for the lack of recognition from Radio Boss to virtual cables.
Yeah, that seems to work as well. https://varietyofsound.wordpress.com/downloads/ is the link if you had trouble finding it as I did.
The screenshot looks like you missed an ‘l’ at the end of the .dll (edit nevermind, it’s the image compression)
One handy trick I found is to navigate to where it’s located in the Windows file explorer, copying the DLL, then pasting it in the address bar of the explorer window. This will put the path to the DLL there, including the filename. And all you have to do is copy it again, paste in BA1, and remoe the ” marks.
Also keep in mind that sometimes Breakaway can only see plugins in certain places. The default install of that plugin is “C:\Program Files (x86)\VSTPlugIns\MeldaProduction\Delay”
edit: Also the ReaDelay in ReaPlugs should do the trick if the Melda one will not.
That’s correct. The ReaPlugs plugin pack has VSTs that work in BA1’s host. However I tried pulling the ReaVerb plugin from the 32-bit Reaper installer, and it wouldn’t work in BA1. But the delay one certainly does.
Okay, scratching ReaStream. I’m still recommending Reaper plugins to use for delay and reverb. The ReaPlugs plugin pack contains ReaDelay, which i read can be set up to be reverb-like as well as working as a bypassable effect. I’m looking into if the ReaVerb reverb plugin that comes with Reaper, but not the ReaPlugs pack, works with BA1. If so, there will be the two plugins effects that are free and individually disableable.
I’m not sure what a typical effects chain would look like. But it’s got a buffer size of 1ms to 500ms, chain delay of up to 1000ms, a pre/post level shift as low as -24 db, and an option to enable DPI awareness. This is on the Main host overview; not per-plugin. I’m looking into ways to use the more extensive plugin host of Reaper using their ReaStream plugin, but I’m not having luck getting audio back into BA1.
EDIT: Oh, there’s a delay plugin that has a bypass which works in BA1 from the Reaper folks called ReaDelay and is available outside of Reaper if you get the ReaPlugs plugins pack. Looking for a decent reverb plugin that does the job too.
Disregard my last post. I can’t seem to get them to work properly yet, but I’ve not given up on ReaStream.
You can use Reaper as your expanded functionality VST host if you use the ReaStream plugin to send breakaway’s audio to Reaper, apply FX, then send it back to breakaway with another instance of that reastream plugin. This will allow you to use ANY version of a vst plugin and disable them individually. I wish Breakaway allowed you to bypass/disable individual VST plugins instead of all 5 at once.
So BA1 supports a 5 VST plugin host PER CORE. All at once, meaning you can’t selectively enable certain plugins at a time without unloading the host, changing file paths, then re-enabling it.
So I’m picturing input> OTS> REASTREAM1> REAPER> REASTREAM2> BA1VSThost> Output.
This way you can use Reaper as the primary VST host and set up various effect stacks to use that way.
Or depending on how many permutations of effects, you could get a pass-through core or two instead, if you don’t need BA1’s processing itself (even though it’s PRETTY good).
There used to be a policy for upgrading from BAE to BAO, using some kinda loyalty route. However, I think that involved contacting Leif or Keith, neither of whom appear to be part of this forum anymore. I’d contact the current support emails and ask if they still offer a $15 discount on BAO for people who can prove they bought BAE.
One way non-traditional way to get Reaper’s playback into BreakawayOne is to use Breakaway One normally for pc-wide audio through the pipeline, then load up the Reaper plugin called ReaStream in both Reaper and Breakaway. Make sure you use the right plugin version: 32-bit windows vst2.
In reaper, put it on the master or monitor tracks and name the stream something. In Beakaway name it the same thing you named it in reaper. This should get the audio from reaper to come out of the VST plugin loaded in BA1’s host.
For everything else, play normally to the pipeline.
