Hi, I do not think that's too critical for all the WW-Solo-Istruments. There are good possibilities to "play" runs and trills (especially with the flute1 and all clarinets).
Dynamic Scale-Runs are more difficult to "play" when it comes to Ensembles. Here I agree that the runs of the Orchestral Strings are just "Gold"!

programming a good run takes much much longer than time stretching the appropriate scale run patch and using a CC/keyswitch for up or down-- especially if you have BPM time stretch lengths already saved! I could program something like the opening to to Pines of Rome much faster than someone doing it your way. 

they are 100% essential if you need to create good mockups quickly.

Time Out. 

Of all the patches NOT to include... in a reprogrammed WINDS LIBRARY--

You leave out the scale runs!?!?!? That's like... the best part of the classic VSL Winds Library! That's the hardest thing to program when it comes to winds. But that's what you guys had over everyone else! Whenever I visit with other film composers at their studios and we talk libraries, everyone says they keep VSL Winds around for the runs!  

I'm not trying to dump on you guys here but... this company has been taking really odd steps with it's library side. The software is amazing though so I suppose you can afford to since everyone depends on VEP, but boy when those super cheese grater macs come out and people start debating if they want to run sample farms, you're going to have think long and hard about your libraries. Who is this stuff for!? I just don't get it clearly. 

Thanks Paul!

Hey so uh.... what are these BIN files in the Stretch folder in App Data? They are taking up like 33 gigs on my main drive (pic attached)

Also: can I redirect this entire folder to be located on my samples drive or does this need to be located on my OS drive? 

Thanks!

Hi Paul

Posting this again, hoping you'll respond this time. 

Kontakt looks very buggy in VEP 7, image attached. 

KONTAKT acting very buggy inside VEP7 -- anybody else getting this? 

Can't click around inside GUI's, this one (EXHALE from Output loads up completely glitched out, picture below)

From all the promo materia around Synchron, I see the tree is only working by keyswitch, does it not also allow you to switch articulations by CC0/CC32 like VI Pro ? 

NEVERMIND! Didn't realize I had the manual in available

any ensemble library with ricochet? can't seem to find any

has anybody created a curve for strings (for Dimension Strings) for a nice long portamento between notes that they'd like to share? 

yup same dude. i actually just switched up from VEP 5 which had zero issues and now with 6 it's laggy af with Pro Tools and causes crashes on session close. 

Honestly, I'm thinking there's a reason they're coming out with VEP 7 so quickly after 6 when 5 was around for years. Kind of like how Windows was like "Yeah 8 was our bad, sorry guys here's 10 (don't ask about 9)." 

Well? Anyone got this working? 

VEP 5 would stay active in the tray when you closed it out from the taskbar-- is there a preference setting I'm missing? 

If I have sessions with VEP 5 frames, will it transfer easily to VEP6?

bump 

Has anybody successfully set up external MIDI ports in VEP? 

I'm testing it using both physical and virtual MIDI ports, they work out of Pro Tools but VEP get's no signal. 

I do get a message in VEP 5 that it's a beta feature... was this smoothed out in 6?

I cannot seem to figure out how to get this working! I've looked into the VI Pro 2 manual, and maybe I missed it but the only thing about using Program Changes is to switch matrices (not working either but that's another story). 

How can I set up the patches to switch by program change? 

Hi Paul

I'm a little confused about what comes in which package for upgrades and the cost difference. 

Mainly, the upgrade to SYNHRON-ized DB for owners of I&II is much cheaper than those who only own DB I, but it doesn't seem to come with the additional muted ensemble that you get from DB II, so I don't quite get this price difference. 

It DOES appear, however, that SYNCHRON-ized includes the new extended articulations, is that correct? I.e., buy upgrading to SYNCHRON-ized DB, you are getting all full the DB articulations to date but also with the new SYNCHRON player capabilities etc... Is that correct?

I have a divisi flute part, two voices, and it's making a very weird trill noise like it's bugging out unsure of which note to play, or kind of like if you use the legato patch on mono and press two keys at the same time.

Any idea on how to fix this? 

ah shucks. oh well.

thanks paul!

Paging Paul.... 

anybody know where in Ableton Live I can go to change the MIDI Port number? Not the MIDI channels (1 - 16), but the MIDI Port channel (1 - 8)

agreed. i think a lot of us are coming at this as in the box people who are being asked to do as much as possible without live players, some of these limitations are handicapping and it makes other libraries very tempting. 

extended technique referes to unorthodox playing and sounds such as key clicks an multiphonics, with the exception of bend gliss, clarinet 1 has none of these 

obviously, one is required to have both clarinet 1 and 2 to access the full range of the instrument. 

the point of the post is that there are many great libraries coming out that have all these articulations in one pack and for a greater range of instruments than VSL, specifically winds. i want to know if there's going to be another update like synchron strings for winds which will include more extended tech before i put any more money into the existant wind libraries, or if none is coming so i can put my money where it is needed. 

extended tech on more than just clarinet 2 would be great

better legato for quick passages, still sounds very midi

It's kind of frustrating when you look around at all the great libraries coming out these days with a broader range of articulations for woodwinds than VSL (for quite  fortune less i might add...)

I guess Vienna is focused on the new Synchron series/sampling so are we getting Synchron winds at some point? hopefully with more extended techniques.. 

thanks!

thought so, that low Bb is mighty dark
