DSK releases AkoustiK GuitarZ

I’ve tried to download Accoustic GuitarZ several times over the last week and each time it’s been unzipped I get a file damaged or file corrupt error message .Can you help please?
Thanks
Vic

Hi Vic, are you using a download manager? If so, try without (i.e. right-mouse click and save as…)

Hi ronnie,
Thanks for your comment.I don’t use file managers so that’s not the problem.I’ve also tried right click and save as, but I get the same result on unzipping the file. I tried downloading another DSK file and got the same result. I then downloaded a couple of files from another site and there was no problem when they were unpacked.Went back to DSK and downloaded the guitarz file again incase there was some sort of glich and got the same corrupt error messages. I hav’nt got a clue what else I can do. Can you help please.
regards.
Vic

No idea really, I’ll contact you by email and sort things out.
Cheers,
Ronnie

Hey When i download it and unzip it only shows a .Dll file and a read me filer … please help :)

@Aser: That’s right. You’ll need a host to use the VST plug-in.

Check this wiki page to learn more about VST.

@ASER
lol, what?

try reading the README that’s there.

also, copy the dll to your music program’s VST or VSTi folder.

I downloaded Reaper what shall I do now to use the AcoustiK ?

In Reaper you can add a new track with a VST plug-in. Check the Insert menu for “Insert virtual instrument on new track”.

Also, more info on how to add VST’s etc. in the manual.

that was quick Roonie , thanks again :)

SOrry but where shall I put the .Dll file ?

In the VST path as defined in REAPER. Check here: http://www.cockos.com/wiki/ind.....ing_a_VSTi

Hi,
I have downloaded a few of the vst instruments and think they are fantastic.
I use cubase LE..i am new to this.
Indian dreamz and sax work great but i cannot get any sound with the akoustic guitarZ and a couple of the other vst’s.The error comes up saying something is wrong with the mixer outputs…i have read the manual and spent many hours…still can’t get it working.
I use a korg 250sp and a native instruments audio control 1 usb interface.

I downloaded and extracted the plugin. I placed it in the VST folder for Progression by Notion Software. It created a folder called DSK Akoustic GuitarZ and popuolated it with *.SEP and *.SEM files, but I am unable to access the VST from Progression.

Any ideas what the problem might be?

Thanks

James- if it created the folder with the sems and seps, it found it. The reason you can’t find it is because DSK didn’t rename the container in Synthedit.

Akoustic guitarz is probably named something else, try all of the other DSK plugins you can find.

RUNBEERRUN,

Thanks for the tips, but I think I may be doing something wrong in Progression. I have downloaded some other VST plugins, and they all do the same thing.

None of the VST’s are showing up in the FX menu.

Unfortunately the documentation for Progression is a little light.

James

Can this plugin working on in Stereo channel? I got a error when I tried to map into stereo mode.

thanks you very much ….other comments installation

I have the same problem Ronnie was having. I keep getting error messages when trying to unzip. I use Sony Acid Pro and other VST plugins work fine. Is there a solution?

Correction: The issue “Vic” was having…

Is there a particular issue with FL8? I have tried to use this VST on several occasions and it always corrupts the whole file for some reason. I have just downloaded the latest flavour (above) and though the sequence plays the instrument itself turns mute after a time and won’t come back.
Ity’s a shame because I love the sound. The only other VST I have that also corrupts everything – it even wipes out file menus making it impossible to ’save’ is DSK Virtuoso. Perhaps they are both incompatible with Fruity Loops.
Any help would be appreciated – they are such great sounding VSTs !!!

AkoustiK GuitarZ DSK
If you don’t respect people , at least respect yourself , Before releasing a software.

There is a virus bug inside that mess up VST host programs. mine (FL Studio)
at the left corner ( Haha ) written & the program crashed after few minutes.
This is for some people that want to download this junk & working with FL studio. Be Careful

@Ted, sorry to hear the plug-in isn’t working for you, but I can assure you there is no virus in Akoustik GuitarZ.
I don’t get how you’re talking about respect, yet you claim something that isn’t true…

Can’t download file uncorrupted with internet explorer, downloaded with Firefox browser and unzipped/installed into FL Studio 8 XXL properly. This plugin repeatedly crashes my program, which sucks because I like the Acoustic tones. It scrambles the graphics and gives multiple pointer errors.
I’m not sure why it is so unstable, perhaps a newer version will come out.

@bullarock777, sorry to hear it’s not working for you. I use FL Studio 8 producer edition and it seems to work fine there (I don’t really use the plug-in though, I just loaded it and played around a bit, didn’t crash).

You could inform Victor of DSK of this problem, perhaps he can fix it somehow.

Check his website for contact details: http://www.dskmusic.com

downloaded free Akoustik GuitarZ for test drive but can’t get it to work in cubase 4.5.2. I create an instrument track and get warning about mixer problem (see cubase error below). Not sure what instrument output1, output2 in message is referring to. Created mono buses and selected in mixer but no sound. Changed MIDI signal is being received by VST because I can see event activity in instrument pane but I am not hearing anything. Also Cubase crashes after a little while – only with this VST instrument.

I would love to purchase this VST but someone has to help me get it working.

VST Mixer Warnings (Tuesday, March 31, 2009)
===============================

This mixer configuration expected “DSK AkoustiK GuitarZ” to have Output 1: Stereo,
-> The instrument currently has Output 1: Mono, Output 2: Mono,
-> The instrument channel will be silent.
===============================

sorry,excuse me,
i’m newbie.is this vst or vsti ? coz i want to try using my LINE 6 toneport,can i do that ???

thanks in advance

@johnny: it’s a VSTi.

DSK Music has released AkoustiK GuitarZ, a freeware VST instrument for Windows PC.

thainks

I am not sure if it’s just me, but the instrument is detuned.. If I play a B note, it sounds E. FL Studio Producer Edition. Any ideas?

yep, the same in Audition 3

I also get this problem and can't fix it…was this ever resolved?

in cubase the vst starts but it has an error…

Hey there,
I’m an amateur and experienced user of fl studio. I love this plug-in, but for some reason (and this is with the first beat I made since just getting fl 9), it will play, and i can do whatever.
But when I export as any kind of audio file, the guitar part(s) disappear entirely! Both exported audio file and when i play/ work on the guitar part in fl, no sound comes from it. The volume/ mixer shows sound coming out, but nothing comes out?!?!

Helps please, thanks for looking!

For Tim, X, and Grumblyfrown

This is simple and happens in many instruments, etc u get. Merely click on the plug-in in the sampler and go to the “function” tab.

See the orange tab showing where middle c is? That’s what controls where middle c is. So if they have a F below middle C set as “middle c” just right click the F below middle and mess around to change where middle c belongs on the instrument.

If you have any musical training, think “movable do” and the terrible memories of how useless it is sometimes.

@Kai, you could try Sharchi’s suggestion: http://rekkerd.org/dsk-vsti/#comment-4985
