Love the elite-strings - they are a pleasure to use, play and listen to!

Just one thing:

The synchron-player should be able to show how many velocity layers are used and where the switching points are - would make some work a lot easier (just like the vi-player-pro did that) - please update this little feature or am I missing something (drives me "crazy" ;) ?

Hi,

am I missing something? How can I load presets and matrixes I made with VIPro into VEPro-7 (VIPro instances) and vice versa (of course no complete projects)? I only found the factory presets and matrixes for loading into VEPro7...

The one from XSample is not bad, there is another one from spectrasonics.net

Because you asked for a good one - you know about the polyphonic (aftertouch) pitchbending of the clavichord (wich is hardly to avoid on the real instrument if you try to play a little bit louder)... very nice. 

Haha, thanks! I Wrote 4GB instead of 4TB! I corrected this now.

So thanks fot making me laugh about myself and for your suggestion.

Is there any advantage or disadvantage (beside organisation) if you "divide" the internal SSD (lets say divide a 4TB internal SSD to 2*2TB) in a new MacPro (MacOSX 15.2). The internal SSD is faster than most SSDs... so i wonder if i should do that and not use external SSDs for now (works fine with other LogicX Libs). Format of the SSDs is APFS of course.

Any advice or tipps? Just making a clean install and would love to make it "perfect" ;)

Yeah - please!

Well - bought the Spezial-Keyboard-Edition - because of the Cembalo - but still cannot find the "Lautenzug" - which was part of all the real instrument i had the pleasure to play with. Did i do something wrong? Or is there really no "Lautenzug" of the Cembalo available? (Maybe the instrument you sampled really had no Lautenzug...).
Well - anyway - thanks for all you have done so far - and the wonderful 64-bit version of the VE for OS-X in the very near future ;-)

I have the same problem - files i could have downloaded some time ago are not there anymore. To be honest - i already tried to download them - but did not have the time to wait so long (i got a DSL 16.000 -line - but after downloading for about 6 hours there were still more than six hours left to wait before the download would be completed - i loaded all files in parallel - it looked as if thats much faster). So i thought too many are downloading right now - i did not need these sound right away - and now its too late? Maybe i get a post too...

Well - doesnt it depend on what they are playing? In baroque (really polyphical) music it just makes more sense to have V1-Vla-Cl-V2. For the audience it is easier to distinguish the different lines of V1 and V2 if they are not sitting too close. If the music is more like classical V1-V2-Vla-Cl makes more sense. I also think that this is also true for chamber- or big orchestras. And this was also common in the baroque or classical time - so far as i know. But with a small section like a string-quartett it is also important that the musicians play as they are used to. But i would always ask them for baroque-style-music to sit V1-Vla-Cl-V2.

definetely - works just perfect

Well - after Disk-Warrior repairs i have not a big change...
Still lots of instruments cannot be resoved by EXS-manager...

But here something new:
I looked into many of the samples-folders - allways found .wav and .aif files (.aif of course only in other libs than the VSL).
Then i looked into the files from the Advanced-Orchestra Update (the DVD) - what does that mean? I found files with the ending
.fxp
.wav peak
.wav dup (with Info it shows: UNIX executable file)
.ovw
.wavALT.mdd

Wow - what is that??? With the EXS i only need .exs (the programs) and either .wav or .aif files - right? What are these other files? What are there for? A UNIX-executable-file i find quite strange - of course i did not execute them... and i do not think that the OS did execute them - but i am not shure about that of course...
I also found folders called Images within the sample-folders of the Advanced Orchestra...

Can anybody explain that?

As soon as i have my new G5 i will do a new clean install - thats for shure...

Any answer would be apreciated.
Thanks

klaus

Sorry - forgot something.
I also have the solo-strings - but i read somewhere that i do not have to install the solo-stings that are within the pro-edition if i install the solo-sting set - is that true?
Anyway - this is not my main proglem right now - the solo-stings work fine so far...

Thanks Axel - i used stuffit 6.02... (and also ordered the new DVD - but all this does not solve my problem with lots of instruments i cannot load - but probably its because of the disc-errors i had...) - and most likely a statement from the VSL-team will be here soon.

Do others have similar problems????

Just because it takes quite some time to make a new install of the pro-edition i would like to get some advice.
I had several problems with my drives for the VSL (2 250 GB LaCies) and have lots of missing and double files (but i am pretty shure i did a clean installation). Also 3 clones. Probably this is only because of the problems i had...
So - as soon as i get my G5 (the 2.5 GHz version) i will install the VSL on freshly formated disks (i hope the new DVD-drive is much faster then my current one). Do i have to load all the disks i got (are there double files if i do that)? Is there anything i should take care of??? On one of the DVDs i always get a error (the flute) - and i also have right now a instrument (maybe there are some more) were Logic will always crash (try to save your song) - always!
So - any advice???

A question to the VSL-team - could i get a disk from you that i could just copy? Could i send you a disk and someone copies the files for me?
How much would that cost? (i live in munich - so sending disks would not be a real problem...)
It would just save so much time (and hussle)...

Found out what the problem was: Norton File Saver. Disabed it and the disks work perfect now. Norton seems to have (beside others) a problem with disks over a certain size (all my other disks did work fine - the biggest one was 80 GB).

About two weeks ago i bought several LaCie 250 GB HDs. Copied lots of data to them - also in big chuncks (some gigs in one run). Everything worked super so far. Had superb track count - no probs at all. All this in ProTools. With Logic i also did not have any prob.

But now i copied the ProEdition of the Vienna Lib and other Libs to two of these HDs. Worked also fine.

Then i found a EXS program/soundfile that made Logic crash (always!). Then i thought i reload that instrument from the DVD (it was the clarinet in b - normal set - not the performance one) - that also worked fine - then i wanted to erase the old instrument. Here is where the problem started. It seems that there is a problem to erase data from these drives... - complete crash of the mac without any message from the mac - just the spinning wheel... forever...

With another drive i copied 4 45 min films (dialogs, atmos, EFX, foley...) from a SCSI drive without a problem - they also played perfect - but then i wanted to erase/delete two of the folders with all the files in it and again - the mac crashes completely (spinning wheel forever...). I tried several restarts (pushing the power-button for some seconds - no other way possibal) - tried it again several times - just the same happens again...

Ran disc-util for disc-permissions and also for repair of the HDs - no problems found (used the apple utils).
Norton 8.02 or 8.2 (anyway the newest one) did find lots of problems - but i let Norton not repair anything (it also found lots of probs on the startup-drive - i dont trust Norton anymore - so Norton found probs - but i did not let him repair anything!!! - is it worth a try???)
The drives are connected via FW400 to the mac. The connection from one to the other drive is via FW 800 - but that does not matter, because i also tried it with just one drive attached... same results...

Next test was deleting some folders from the drives using my PowerBook G4 (with 10.3.4) - same thing - crashes. I can delete single files (on both systems) - but as soon i try to delet lots of files the problem begins...

This makes me nervous now - it took nearly a week just to import/write all the data to two of the drives (all these libraries are just too much data...)


Any ideas????


Mac 1GHz DP, OSX 10.3.2., 1,5 GB RAM, PT 6.4, HD-2, Logic Pro 6.4.1, new digi CoreAudioDriver, PowerBook G4, 1GB RAM...
Newes drivers from LaCie were already installed (i checked that)

Small String ensembles and the solo viola. I would do these first.
