1.Release Samples on/off 9/21/2022 1:42:47 AM

Another vote for adding the ability to turn off release samples.  If I use timbre adjust to fade out the timbre of the first note then quickly restore the timbre on the second note, the end of the release of the first note sometimes suddenly becomes too loud and audible.  Thanks for considering.

2.Somerset Rhapsody - question for Jay Bacal 6/3/2022 5:29:06 AM

Yes, I overlap notes when I want to use legato transitions.  I usually prefer monophonic legato since I concentrate on one instrument per midi track for maximum control.

Best wishes, Jay

3.Same "Expression-Maps" for Synchron Player? 12/27/2021 10:24:56 PM

Hi Andi,

Any chance Cubase expression maps for Synchron Woodwinds will be released soon?  Do any of the other maps for other sections “mostly” work with the new woodwinds?

Thanks, Jay

4.Same "Expression-Maps" for Synchron Player? 11/30/2021 11:17:53 PM

Hi Andi,

Thanks so much for creating the expression maps for Cubase.  They are invaluable when working the Synchron player.  Are there any plans to create maps for the Synchron Percussion Libraries?

Best wishes,

Jay

5.Romantic Symphony HUGE version 6/4/2019 5:26:28 AM
Very impressive composition and performance!! And i’m sure an unspeakable amount of hard work. Bravo, William!!
6.Mixing & Mastering 1/24/2019 2:05:30 AM

Hi Chris,

The Bloch cello demo was created more than 10 years ago.   Sadly, the .fxb instrument preset file format seems no longer to be compatible with the current versions of the Vienna Instrument program.

You can still learn a little from the midi file.  Notably, the frequent switching of articulations via keyswitches and the shaping of phrases with the midi Expression controller.

More recent "tutorials" should use Vienna Ensemble compatible files.  I also included Cubase project files which will open the entire project.   No fuss, no muss.   You can download a free trial version of Steinberg's Cubase 10 from their website.

Finally, I recommend checking out VSL's MIRx software.   It will instantly give you a more professional sound.  It's like having a world-class mixing engineer (Dietz) in a single plug-in.

Happy experimenting and music making.

Best wishes,

Jay

7.[SOLVED] Is there a problem with this update? 11/24/2018 8:46:39 PM

Hi Paul,

Can't load latest project without crashes after updated VE Pro.  I sent support 2 crash dumps.

Best wishes,

8.Nuendo Crashing upon scanning Synchron Piano 5/30/2018 7:20:03 PM

Now Cubase 9.5 on Windows 10 is crashing everytime I try to export an mp3 of a project with Synchron Piano.

Need advice.

Thanks,

Jay

9.Nuendo Crashing upon scanning Synchron Piano 5/30/2018 3:12:48 AM

Hi William,

I had no idea that an in-box could be full. I just painstakingly deleted all my messages going back more than 10 years. Thanks for the heads-up.

10.Nuendo Crashing upon scanning Synchron Piano 5/29/2018 9:45:44 PM

Hi Paul,

I created a large project in Cubase 9.5 on Windows 10.  After adding instance of Synchron Yamaha piano, the project crashes when trying to load.  

I sent 3 crash dump reports.

Best wishes,

Jay

11.Solo Cello/Violin 2 vs Solo Strings I 12/17/2017 11:08:33 PM
I use the original solo strings on almost every project. These remain one of VSL's greatest sampling accomplishments!
12.Question about Jay Bacal's John Williams demos 10/17/2017 6:56:35 PM

I don't believe so.

Your best bet is to open the midi file in your daw and delete the keyswitch notes which are usually in the lower octaves.

You could then delete all pitchbend data and then move the transposed notes down a whole step.  Or you could simply delete these notes as they double existing notes.

I'm sorry but I'm not aware of any "one button" conversion process.

Best wishes,

Jay

13.Question about Jay Bacal's John Williams demos 10/17/2017 5:30:38 PM

Hi Vincent,

Yes, the "Random" notes are keyswitches that signal the Vienna Instruments player to change the articulations of the instruments.

The "Pitchbend" notes are notes that have been transposed up a whole step and then pitchbended down a whole step to the original pitch.  This was done when doubling a melody with the same instrument in order to avoid phasing issues.

The midi files in the VSL "tutorials" were designed to work with VSL samples and software.  They were never intended to be played on their own.

If you google the John Williams pieces you can probably find General MIDI versions of these pieces that will play properly as standalone midi files.

Best wishes,

Jay

14.Spring Countryside (Scoring Bundle demo) 9/28/2017 3:52:35 AM
Superb!!
15.Help needed with flute legato patch from Flute Library 9/10/2017 8:28:46 PM

Look in the 98 Resources/ 03 Perf Speed variation patch folder for perf-leg_sustain articulation.

Jay

16.Historic Winds III - First test - Mozart K 495 7/15/2017 7:53:38 PM
Hi Philippe,

I enjoyed listening. Coincidentally, I just finished a version of the same movement with the same samples. The interesting thing is the two performances sound completely different. I think this is one of the strengths of VSL samples that they can be moulded to suite the sonic and musical preferences of the individual "performer."

Best wishes,
Jay

As Mark Twain once said, "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.”

I'm still here and still doing some demos. Although I did take a multi-year hiatus.

18.Force Awakens: Wrong note? 6/12/2017 4:01:28 PM
Hal Leonard Deluxe Edition is available at SheetMusicPlus in United States. But you should be able to find many John Williams scores other places as well. Google is your friend.
19.Force Awakens: Wrong note? 6/6/2017 4:24:21 PM

Good catch!!  A fixed version is coming soon.

Thanks,

Jay

20.Force Awakens: Wrong note? 6/6/2017 3:24:21 AM
Thanks for the heads-up. I will double check the score tomorrow.

Best wishes,

21.What kind of strings are used in this demo piece? 6/6/2017 3:21:36 AM
The violins at 1:56 are a combination of Appassionata, Orchestral, Chamber and Solo. But the Appassionata violins are loudest in the mix.

Best,
Jay
22.What kind of strings are used in this demo piece? 6/5/2017 3:19:23 AM
HI,

I used a combination of Appassionata, Orchestral, Chamber and Solo Strings. I did not use the Dimension Strings for this demo . The legato melodic Violins 1 and Cellos are mostly the Appassionata Strings. The violins 2, violas and basses as well as the faster, short note passages of the violins 1 and cellos are mostly Orchestral Strings.

Best wishes,
Jay
23.Vienna Instruments Midi Driver /NOT windows Signed 6/30/2016 9:32:12 PM

Hi Paul,

I am reinstalling my VSL software on a new PC with Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium edition.  Windows flags the Vienna Instruments Midi driver stating that "Windows requires a digitally signed driver."

Is there an official solution to this issue or a known workaround.

Thanks and best wishes,

Jay

24.Jay Bacal 8/15/2012 12:46:58 AM

Hi Jeremy,

Thanks for the kind words.  You can learn a lot by downloading the midi files included in the tutorial of the various demos.  

Also I highly recommend the learning materials supplied by Beat Kaufmann.   I personally learned a lot from his postings.

Best wishes,

Jay

25.Star wars and Dimension brass and MIR 3/1/2011 5:10:47 PM

 All the instruments including the Dimension Brass were mixed within the MIR environment-- specifically the Teldex Studio.

Best,

Jay
