Yassers site is now up (thank you!)
Kai's excellent program is now avaible.

Kai,
You mention in your pdf that other libraries can be used. How does one set up those libraries to utilise the Articulation tool. I admit to being completely green with EXS instances, sample file organisation etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Alex.

Kai, thanks for the info, unfortunately i'm not a VSL owner just yet so access to the users area is off limits to me. (Quite understandably)

I'll investigate the possibility of groups though. Do you mean putting together various articulations of each instrument in the same midi channel, even though they are listed as seperate tracks in the arrange window?

I appreciate your help, and thanks again for the use of a decent software program.

Have you thought about putting Logic out of business with a program of your own?

(Meant with humour and respect!)

regards,

Alex.

i have uploaded version 2 of the articulation tool for logic, which ...

... allows to switch all articulations of an instrument (even performance instruments) with assignable keys and buttons while playing

... uses the "channel splitter approach" proposed by the vsl to implement the "one (acoustic) instrument - one track" concept

... does not require dedicated instrument files anymore and works with all instruments of all vsl-editions

you can download it from the website:

Kai, you've done me a great favor. Your Articulation tool has opened up the Orch. Cube and Perfmance Set Pro Editions I have owned now for a while but have not really been able to use. I thank you very much.

I do have a question or two. Do I now have to create new exs instruments for the library I have?

Does your Articulation Tool replace me having to create channel splitters for each track?

How do I create new articulation settings? You list seven with titles and from 8 to 16 there are numbers. I can't figure out how to load more instruments from which to choose alternative articulations.

I totally understand if you have no time to answer these questions. I am most grateful for the amazing work you already have done. Again, cudos.

Hello Kai,

I tried to PM you but my pm doesnt seem to be working. I've tried to download your articulation tool from the above link and received the following error.



Please advise, as I would love to use your wonderful tool! Thank you for making it available for the VSL community!

Hallo Kai (and others) !

About me
1st of all. I'm new to this forum (i come from germany) and I'm not yet a user of Vienna Symphonic stuff. I have much of experience with orchestra samples using oldies like (Peter Sydliezec or Miroslav Vitous) for Akai using them on Logic Pro on a Mac G4 (OS X Panther) and I'm soon going to by a G5 2*2GHz or even a G5 Quad (which depedns on the Perfromance Boost it offers).

My Question
I LOVE your Articulaion Tool. You applied your Knowledges about Logic Audio in a genius end very intelligent way. I can't emagine any better solution and besides that it feels good that there are people out there who (like you) share there knowledges and effrots over the Internet (even for free!) I hope you'll earn money with your knowledge in future.

Well I downloaded the Articulation Toll V.2 in order to make it run with my Orchestra Sample libraries and opened it with Logic 6 Pro. There was a "warning" message telling me that I'm opening a document made with a newer Version of Logic. I suspect its a Logic Version 7 Song but after I clicked on "Ok" it opened in my Logic 6 Program anyway. And it seems to work fine. I'm especially interested in the ALTERNATION section of your tool. The point is that when I click on a sequence and select for example the Sequence Nr. 4 it works fine and swithces between the articulations Nr. 3 and 4 while I'm playing. BUT when I want to program a new sequence it doesn't work. I don't know if I understood something wrong or if the problem apears because its made in Logic 7 ?

I hit the record button and play note for note on my keyboard and switch the different Playing techniques qith my mouse in between. And after I did so i hit again the record button to deactivate record mode. The previous sequence is deleted but it only stays in 1 Playing technique (for example Nr.3) and doesn't javascript:emoticonswitch anymore. So the Sequence seems definiteley to be overwritten but not with the techniques I selected with the mouse. Is there another way of programing alternation sequences (not playing on the keyboard but writing it directly somewhere) or should I simply update to Logic 7 in order to make the tool work properly ? Its a shame bothering you with this question. javascript:emoticon('')
Therefore please only answear to my question, when you really have the time left to do so.

Many greetings from germany
Alex

Hi Hetoreyn !

no prob. I can send you the tool + pdf and all the other files from Kai refering to that tool. I know of the problem with the links. That's a pitty.

So give us the link and I'll upload the stuff. Or I'll send to your email adress. (which way would you prefer ?) Its a good thing that you'll upload it for all the other visitors who'd like to use it.

greetings
Alex

Okey Dokey, I send ya the filez ! (I didn't send the old version artic. Tool Vers. 1 as the new one replaces it)

Hectorein? ... It's Hetoreyn *Grins* And you can now find Kai's Articulation Tool and the PDF on my VSL page:

Enjoy

The Articulation Tool seems to be more and more fantastic as I think about it. But I can't handle it. I'm like to stupid. Could someone who managed to assign his masterkeyboard (without any additional controlers) please explain me how to make this or EVEN BETTER : email me or upload a Articulation Tool Template which makes it possible to do keyswitching at the lowest Octave of a 88-Key Master-Keyboard sending Midi Notes at Midi Channel 1 ?!
That would be sooo great !

greetings
