Sorry, I wrote rewritable because that term is always in my head now, more than anything (rewritable) because if the mastering session

should go wrong you can always try again, but this is also possible with DVDs that can be mastered (according to the manufacturers )

only once, just set the DVD to non-finalization and it is possible (not with all DVD media, however) to try to master

again if it went wrong the first time.

They told you a lie. Rewritable DVDs can be erased and rewritten n times. Normal CDs / DVDs can be written only once. Leaving the session open does not mean that you can rewrite that DVD; it just means that you can add data up to a total of 4.7 GB for Single Layer, 8.5 GB for dual Layer. If you are copying a 4.5 GB DVD, the session is closed automatically (in case of copying), but even if you managed not to close the session, you would only have 200 MB left to add data...

No wait, they didn't tell me a lie, I only wrote what I actually did myself; I forgot to specify that, as you rightly wrote and clarified, multiple sessions can be made until the DVD limit is reached, but it also happened to me to see a mastering session cancelled and be able to try again from scratch, without having "consumed" any MB of the DVD; with this I meant those cases where it was possible for me, but not with every DVD.

Then yes of course, with rewritable ones you can do many overwrites and additions, I used them for years and they came in handy when hard drives literally died.

I am avoiding opening another topic because the subject is always EWQLSC and its connections: the Maple virtual ports used to interface the wordbuilder with the library when used in Finale only work on 32-bit operating systems; is there something analogous for 64-bit systems...? One more reason to switch to the Play version....

Qui dice chiaramente:

http://www.maplemidi...ple_driver.html

The Maple virtual midi cable is a midi driver for Windows (95/98/Me/2000/XP/Vista/Win7, 32 bit only) that can connect any midi applications on your system. At this time 64 bit versions of Windows XP/Vista/7 are not yet supported. Maple virtual midi cable is freeware- you are very welcome to donate below if you like it.

ย 

If you require more ports than the four default input and outputs, you can install Maple Extra Ports after the Maple Virtual Midi Cable for a total of twelve ports. If you're not sure if you need extra ports, then you don't need this.

Il punto รจ: non supportato non vuol dire che non vada ๐Ÿ˜‰ Hai giร  provato ad installare, se ti fa finire il setup..forse ti va di fortuna ๐Ÿ˜‰

No, it doesn't even start the installation, there is immediately an error message saying that the installation can only take place on x86 systems...

Maybe that's exactly why:

The Maple virtual midi cable is a midi driver for Windows (95/98/Me/2000/XP/Vista/Win7, 32 bit only)

At this time 64 bit versions of Windows XP/Vista/7 are not yet supported

You have the 64-bit version of Windows Vista, so I imagine that the reason why the installation won't start is exactly this.

The point is this, Geppino, you need to increase the number of virtual MIDI ports. I would start from there rather than trying to make outdated software work.

So I would use this search term on Google:

"virtual midi drive in windows 7 64-bit"

See

In the meantime, I am looking for the solution by replicating your exact environment

So, the bad news is that it's not possible.

I even did some tests with DOSBox, I don't know if you know it (better to have one more piece of info than less)

http://sourceforge.n...er.exe/download

Keep in mind that a MIDI port virtualizer works at a low level, at the driver level, so it has a close relationship with the operating system architecture.

In fact, it tells you to go to hell when you try to install it.

I would look for a new native product or I would lean towards a more modern technology.

It may seem blunt, but if you actually succeed ... let me know

EDIT

I haven't tried MDOP, you will surely be able to install ... then we have to figure out how to manage the integration between software

Anyway, regardless of this objective impossibility, the management inconvenience and the frustration caused by the messed up vocal ranges mean that I don't have much enthusiasm for the kompakt version of Choir currently; at this point, it's better to just bite the bullet and reach into one's wallet, if one really wants to.....
