Legato Performance Combos :)

Fastest as slave (running VEP, hosting instruments) and slowest running your DAW

Hi MML, I bought VM1 a while back but I can't find anywhere on your website's "My Account" where I can deauthorize a computer...

I had hoped I could manage this myself rather than contact you everytime I format a machine which is not uncommon.

This has happened to me in the past, since then I always keep a limiter on my master...  The last time it happened was while Play 6 was loading a patch.

So the "what's the problem, keep using VEP6" statement is fine, but only *for now*.  There is also the fact that if this pricing scheme remains the same, every version of VEP will cost double to upgrade compared to what we signed up on initially.

Valid, but isnt this an issue with any software with paid software upgrades?

I've never had software with multi licenses or activations removed by upgrading to a new version, no.

Why don't you calm down first.  It is my/our right to be unhappy with this new licensing decision.  I paid for VEP because it had 3 licenses, I would never have bought it if it only had one and I'm definitely not upgrading to 7 with the current price plan. 

I agree, my drawer is loading with 'older than 2 years' eLicensers as well...

Tried adding release? 

Hi all!  

A song I rendered from the Final Fantasy VII midis from the PC version, all from Special Edition Vol. 1.  I used the original and added vel xfade curves.

I hope you like it!

You won't regret Special Edition 1, and if you can afford it go for the Special edition 1 Plus.  Since you already have an eLicenser for Cubase, you don't need to buy another one, you can put your Cubase, Vienna Instruments Pro 2 and Special Ed1, Special ED1+ all on one eLicenser.

Thanks Paul!

I always thought they had different legato transition lengths but upon looking in advanced view under legato start offset or stretch, I can't see anything.

I don't think it would make sense to put them there as placeholders since many cells are left blank or red if you don't own that extended patch.

Hi everyone,

  I've always wondered what the 3 vertical pLeg patches are for, is there a difference between the 3?  I've checked the PDF manuals but I can't seem to find what they are for.

Thanks!

This sounds like a USB selective suspend issue, part of Windows power management that shuts down USB ports to save power.

More on this from Steinberg: 
https://www.steinberg.net/nc/en/support/knowledgebase_new/show_details/kb_show/windows-issues-with-usb-devices-due-to-usb-selective-suspend-in-power-options.html

It uses the same executable for standalone and server.  The server shortcut has the '-server' parameter added.

You'll have to specify which plugins you were using within your VEP instances, Kontakt, VSL, Play, etc. if you want some feedback...

Here's a youtube video to explain what's going on:

https://youtu.be/w3V9TtSDIkg

You can hear that when B3 hits C4, the transition is way too loud.  Additionally, you can hear phasing when you hit C4 again...  I don't think that should be happening.

That's with stock patch, I had VelXfade locked at 56 for this video.  Nothing else was modified other than velxfade and dynscaler set to 127 for greater low end control.

At velxfade greater than ~70 you don't hear it as much but the Oboe is playing forte/ff and that's not usually used for solo...

Hope this helps.

Oh?  I will check that out after work! Thanks :)

* Edit

From the manual:

Volume: CC7 Expression: CC11 Master Attack: CC22..........
----

Attack rate won't do it, it just cuts the transition.

Thanks for the help DG, I'll try to link a passage today.   

What I mean is that as each legato note starts, you can hear the start volume being too loud.  Especially on the FrOboe, I can lower it by raising attack a little bit but of course then it's not really legato sounding.

Yep.

Hi all,

  Big fan of VSL, I usually don't have this problem but while trying to do woodwind solo parts like Oboe and Flute2 (I use DL FrOboe/STD, and DL Flute2/STD) I keep fighting with the legato transition volumes, they're way too loud...  Is there a way through VIPro to manage this?  Tried Start offset, Advanced>Start Offset Mode and nothing seems to make a difference.

Thanks :)

Hi,

  I've been trying to save some presets in Vienna Instruments on OS X 10.9.5, either in AU or standalone and I keep getting the error "Error saving preset x/x"  The only folder I've found that seems to be about VSL is /Users/shared/VSL Custom Data which is rw for everyone.

Thanks

You don't need an eLicenser on the main if you're only running the VEP plugins to connect to the slave...

 erickbolivar1, maybe it's a firewall issue, try turning it off on the slave machine and see if it'll help?
