  • User error or possible bug in VI Pro sequencer & iPad App?

    This might be user error, but I watched this video here:


    about using the iPad to control the sequencer for VI pro, and it shows the abilty to change the articulations for the sequencer directly from the iPad! WAY COOL!

    So I loaded up the Appassionata matrix preset "VI-20 21 runs+phr key" and with the global setting of "enable cells on MIDI Activity" checked, played a note and the pSpF (performance spiccato fast attack) was loaded. COOL! I then wanted to hear what this might sound with the rLE cell (perfomance rep legato) as I want a smoother line, but nothing changed! Its still playing back the pSpF cell, even though the rLe cell is glowing on my ipad. I even tried selecting the notes inside the Sequence before selecting a new articulation and its still only playing back pSpF. If I instead of using the ipad select the cell from inside Vienna Instruments it works - so something seems to be wrong with the ipad app?

    I've tested this with other Violins Appassionata matrixes to the same results - artulcation switching doesn't seem to work. However, if I load the "App Strings Chord" matrix, articulation switching DOES work. This again leads me to think there is a possible bug as why would the "VI-20 21 runs+phr key" have all those different articulations if they were only designed to be used with the perf-spic patch?

    While I'm here, can someone tell me the difference between the runs+phr key vs runs+phr key Ext? It doesn't seem to be "extended articulations" as the cells are the exact same as the non EXT version.

    Thanks in advance for your help and reply!
