Well I'd like to know if MIR24 will require Vienna Ensemble Pro 5 to work? (MIRpro does as stated on your website...)

I'd really appreciate if it would be functional with the free version of vienna ensemble software.

Thanks in advance

Torsten

Well a release of Vienna Choir with Wordbuilder function would be awesome.

If that has been available I wouldn't had to purchase East West QL Symphonic Choirs last week.

The idea behind EWQLSC to let a choir sing your own words is simply amazing.

But that program has also some disadvantages - here a few facts:

- it lacks the convenience of the VSL products

- wordbuilder function is limited to ensemble groups (sopranos, altos, tenors, basses, boys)

- it's built-in language VOTOX is not really suitable for other languages (at the moment I am trying to get best german sound out of it but it's a bit tricky and I often have to compromise)

- it's not recorded in any kind of "silent stage" (as far as I know) - even when turning off the reverb it sounds a bit wet

- legato mode doesn't reach the quality of VSL

Well I hope this will lead you to the conclusion that there is a huge gap in virtually generated music that VSL should urgently fill up with new products. I am convinced that you are the only one who are able to produce virtual instruments that sound as realistic as real instruments... (you almost did with Vienna Imperial)

Best,

Torsten

Good idea. Although I find it not very uncomfortable to look for updates on my own. But perhaps that needs more time when having purchased more VSL products^^ ;-)

If delavagus says he encountered sustain dropouts then I do belief him. Well I also own Vienna Imperial. With such a midi file I could check out if that happens the same way on my computer.

Dear VSL-Team,

I lately purchased your download product "Trumpet Bb".
While playing around with the patches I encountered a serious patch error in "03 TrBb_perf-portamento_tight".
I have also send a short audio demo to you but first let me try to explain the exact problem:
This patch uses 2 velocity layers - a lower and a upper one.
There is a sample missing when moving legato-like upward from G5 to A5.
That problem only occurs while playing the lower/quieter velocity layer.

I definitely look forward to an update of that patch.

Best,

Torsten

Hello to everyone,

I also tried to reproduce the problem mentioned above but I have NOT encountered any of these problems - even with Polyphony of 80! Perhaps an midi example file would be very helpful!

My system configuration can be found below.

As already mentioned above getting the standalone version working wasn't a problem at all after setting the latency settings to samples with powers of 2 by my own.

The former "88" or "880" samples latency settings aren't as mysterious as they seem. As an user of EMU ASIO drivers you probably know that in latency settings of cubase you have to select latency in ms. By default I work with 20 ms. At an earlier point of this thread I was asked for latency in SAMPLES. When I opened standalone version of VIPro with my default settings I noticed that the latency settings in samples are shown at the bottom of that window - at least I thought that these numbers could be the latency settings in samples. For 20 ms I read 880 samples. And for 2 ms I saw 88 samples. So that's where the numbers were coming from.

Strange that you can select 8 ms within cubase!? I have only listed those latency settings in ms: 2, 4, 6, 7, 10, 20, etc. None of them worked with convolution reverb. Thats why I thought of always using ASIO4ALL.

Sounds good. Thanks. I'll have a look at your new features at release of VIPro2.

Kind regards,

Torsten

Dear VSL-Team, :-)

As an ambitioned user of your software and instrument libraries I always think about possible improvements when using your virtual instruments.

Currently I am planning to create a short presentation of some let's say interesting ideas or features to improve Vienna Instruments Pro Player in order to make my visions understandable to you in a at least semi-professional way. Perhaps it will take a few weeks or months to complete and think over the quality and value of these possible improvements and of course I will wait for the release of VIPro2 before I will send that information to you. Therefore I would really like to know which person is best to contact via e-mail?

Thank you in advance

Torsten

Well thanks a lot for that hint. ASIO4ALL works perfectly in Cubase with my EMU-Soundcard and the convolution reverb. In conclusion the problem were that trashy EMU-driver. From now on I'm going to use ASIO4ALL. ;-)

Again thank you for your support.

Well as I have promised I want to give a short feedback concerning your proposals to get the vienna imperial work correctly.

Thank you for your advice to use latency settings with powers of 2. This works great for standalone version of vienna imperial.

Unfortunately this doesn't work in Cubase LE because there I can't choose the latency of vienna imperial engine manually but have to use the default settings of my internal EMU0404 Soundcard. So I either have to accept that the convolution reverb feature doesn't work in cubase with my computer configuration or you perhaps could implement the feature to select the latency manually even when using vienna imperial as a VST-plugin (I don't know if it is possible for a plugin to have seperate latency settings other than the latency of the entire host program)?

Thank you for your great support and congratulations for having created such an awesome instrument like vienna imperial.

Best,

Torsten

I am currently not at home anymore. Next week I'll give it a try to select latency settings as you mentioned above.

Afterwards I'm going to post a short feedback.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Stefan,

thank you for your answer. Now it is clear why it wasn't possible for me to select Paypal while trying to buy a dvd product.

By the way I had found an online-shop which allowed me to use Paypal so I won't have any trouble anymore.

Best regards,

Torsten

I am just trying to get the standalone version working. Therefore I don't know where to find some buffer settings. Could that be the same like latency in preferences?

Latency as described above. I adjusted the parameters exactly as shown in the instruction video of vienna imperial but there is definitely no convolution reverb sound on the piano samples. Nevertheless the algorithmic reverb works correctly.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Paul,
