Thank you very much! Very well packaged! In SYzd format, they are much easier to use!

It's the same for me. Great piano, with nothing matching its clean, detailed, strong, yet expressive and responsive tone.

This happens to me on Mac Mojave and Safari. It doesn't happen on the iPad with the previous OS version.

Paolo

Maybe panning them a bit apart, and using a slightly different mix (in particular, with different Close and Mid mics levels) could work. Also, you could play a bit with the EQ, to shape the sound a bit differently.

Paolo

Thank you for the tutorials! Very interesting music, as well!

At least here (Mac Mojave) both the Close and Mid mic channels work fine for the SSP violas. Velocity preset tried. Is the corresponding sample file in your drive?

Since VST3 support is announced as imminent by VSL, I renew my hope that microtuning accidentals can be received from Dorico to the VSL players. The technical infrastructure should be there, now.

Paolo

Thank you Andreas, I see.

Hi,

I see that some SYzd and Synchron instruments have a cut release patch in trills. What is this for? I'm thinking that the release is always needed in trills, even if a different patch follows.

Any idea on their use?

Paolo

Now that VSL has learnt something about sampling keyboard instruments, isn't it time for the fortepiano? Possibly, a Stein as the one used by Mozart, Haydn and the young Beethoven?

The other instruments suggested by Mark wouldn't disturb, either. There is no competition, so they will be the forced choice for anyone wanting these instruments. And they will be great, unheard basis for creative presets to be used in the most sophisticate songs.

Maybe I've already told this: I'm hoping it will be a replica, and not an out-of-tune, rusty authentic one. Replica instruments are not copies. They are the real instrument, but new as when the greats were playing it.

Andi, sorry, I forgot to specify that I was asking about the VI Tam-Tams. I was looking for something like the alternative trigger you describe for the Synchron series, but it seems it is not available.

In any case, editing the Release control seems to do a fine job.

Paolo

Hi,

Is there a dedicated command to damp a ringing Tam-Tam note? Or, is there a suggested workaround? For example, I'm experimenting with using very short notes, that seem to translate into a shorter release.

Or, maybe using the MIDI Release CC is a better way of doing it? Or both methods have a place?

Paolo

Paul, can vouchers purchased via Best Service be used in your shop?

Thank you Paul! I hadn't ever noticed it. A great time saver!

Hi,

Maybe I've found a (serious) bug. Mac Mojave, VEP 7.1.1406, VIP 2.6.110.

I assigned CC8 to the Filter slider in the main page of VIP.

All the VIP instruments in the same VEP instance changed the same control to CC8.

Only a single VIP was selected when doing the editing.

Absolutely not the same thing. The Filter is like putting a blanket on the sax. Timbre Adjust would be changing the harmonic content in the same way it is happening in a real instrument.

Paolo

I see you didn't release them! So, let's do before the end of the next week?

Who can live peacefully, without SYzd Saxes (and Solo Brass)???

(No, really, I'm very surprised they are not out yet; there is no competition, so why not?)

Thank you very much, Andreas.

I've another question: why after assigning a venue to the MIR instance, the same venue is not also automatically applied to the Role Preset Management window? Can they be left separate? For example, can I have a Konzerthaus venue for the instance, and a Synchron Stage one for the Role Presets? When could this become useful?

Paolo

Hi,

How can I rename a new Aux channel in the Mix page? With the Synchron Player, right-clicking on the name of the new channel (for example, "Aux 2") opens a context-sensitive menu starting with the Rename command.

This doesn't happen with the piano player. The Rename command is missing. Is this something that has still to be added, or is there a different way to do it?

For simulation of a tape recorder, I would create a new Aux/Return channel, and send all the microphones there. Typically, you will use Aux2, and set the Send 2 level at 0 on all the mic channels. As for the type of saturator, I would use the Soft type.

Paolo

Hi,

In the new MIRacle I can't find some of the parameters that were in the older one, and are described in the manual. Notably, Density and CrossFeed are not there.

When switching to the Controls view, in Logic, I can see and edit them again. Back to the Editor graphic view, and I can't find them.

Is there a way to make them appear in the Editor graphic view?

Paolo

Hi Dietz,

I suspect that the automatic Role selection, and the Apply Role Preset command is not working in MIR 3D.

I'm using the latest version, on a Mac Mojave. Hosted in VEP and in Dorico (VST).

The Role Preset clearly doesn't change when changing venue. And it doesn't change when pressing the button in the Preset Management window.

The only way to make the Role Preset be accepted is to drag it on the instrument line in the Preset Management window.

I see. Thank you for the update!

As for the Retina resolution: I too would like to find a zoom button, since now the UI is really small, and can't be used without using the Mac's integrated zoom function.
