    Hallo!

    First of all congratulations for Vienna Instruments Pro!

    It has exceeded my expectations by far. After going through all the videos and checking out most features, I can say that vi pro is loaded with meaningful stuff that will quickly become an integral part of my workflow.

    I understand that it is also a developping project.

    Here are some observations:

    - Would it be possible to asign a controller for the root key of the matrix scale? The whole business of copying up to 12 matrixes with all different root keys seems unelegant. Moreover, in my case, I want to try to keep all the good things that vi pro is doing compatible with vst expression in Cubase 5. Workflow is super important!

    I guess, that most people work out finer details later in the course of  project. I mean, when I decide that my piece needs some face lifitng in the tuning area, it should not affect my key switch organisation!

    - Of course the choices of scales could be enlarged. But then it seems obvious that they should also be edible!

    - There has been a very interesting discussion about Hermode tuning a while ago. Is there any chance that  this will be implied in the near future? It seems just like the easiest way to improve the overall sound of an orchestra.

    Of course all those arabic turkish and just intonation scales are extremely important for certain types of music. (I played yesterday with the solo cello and some arabic tuning. It was just hilarious, how real it sounded and it changed the instrument into something totally different.)

    -In Vienna Ensemble pro, I noticed that I could not change the scale in channel 2 after the scale was set in channel 1.

    -Does that mean that the scale applies to the whole v pro instance?

    +1. Would be very handy if possible.

    Even better if we could set the root key on the Vienna Ensemble level.

    Just to imagine to go for just intonation for an orchestral arrangement in the current implementation seems like crossing the alps hiking.[:S]

    Hi everybody,

    we will look if and how we can integrate these ideas, thanks for your contribution!

    Best,

    I think Hermode Tuning should be already supported, if I'm not mistaken.

    Could you explain?

    If I remember properly, Logic Pro on Mac has built-in Hermode tuning functionality, which is possible to switch on. VIPro should recognize sysex sent by Hermode tuning in Logic, and react adequately.

    This is not supported in other hosts, and it is also not built inside VIPro by itself. As for improving the orchestra sound, this is a desputed question. Many people believe, that due to limitations of it - it actually makes orchestra sound worse, with an exception of few instruments.

    I would like to see a midi input for defining globally the root. And not with a controller but with actual midi notes.

    So I have one separate track in the sequencer on which I define the root simply with a note.
