  • Vienna Imperial: workaround to re-tune a key within Logic

    Hello,

    I set up a workaround for the the slightly detuned Vienna Imperial's pedal-down F5-note.

    This workaround is designed for Logic; it operates in real time and requires no editing of the recorded midi-track, given that you use two instances of the Vienna Imperial (one for the "regular" notes, one for the pedal-down-F5).

    http://www.girolfe.de/downloads/F5-workaround.LSO

    I created and tested that workaround on Logic Windows 5.5.1., so it should work on PCs and Macs (on Mac computers use "File > import..." to open the file).

    What you have to do is:

    1) Open your project song file

    2) Open an environment window & import the environment "Vna Imperial" from the song file "F5-workaround"

    3) In the Arrange window, choose "V. Imperial: No driver" as your instrument (and make sure that "midi-out" for that instrument is set to "no driver")

    4) Now, depending on whether you run your Vienna Imperial ...

    a) ... within Logic:

    - Open an audio window and insert two Vienna Imperial instances

    - Additionally, open an environment window, choose the environment "Vna Imperial" and connect the red instrument icons "to Audio: V. Imp. regular" and "to Audio: V Imp. F5 fine-tuned" via Logic's virtual midi cables with the two Vienna Imperial instances.

    b) ... in another host-application:

    - Insert two Vienna Imperial instances within your host-software.

    - Within Logic, open an environment window, choose the environment "Vna Imperial" and set the drivers of the red instrument icons "to Audio: V. Imp. regular" and "to Audio: V Imp. F5 fine-tuned" to the appropriate Midi ports and channels of your Vienna Imperial instances.

    5) Re-tune the Vienna Imperial instance for the pedal-down F5-note to your desire (pressing and releasing the pedal will switch between the two different F5's).

    6) finally: Give some feedback [:|]
