Vocalese

andyzone's icon

How do I get Vocalese - an audio plug in to work properly - in the attached patch when I press the keyboard I only get audio some of the time - sometimes every third press, sometimes it works and other times it never produces a sound although the Vocalese.amxd window clearly shows that the 'wizard' is responding with the correct sound - I just get no audio reliably.

Any suggestions here?
