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.

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.

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?)

Dietz and Andreas, thank you very much for the hints!

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.

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.

Paolo

Hi,

I see there are a new Vienna Imperial player and content available. What are the changes, compared to the older version?

Thank you Paul. Oh my, it was just a matter of reading the manual!

Since I don't often open the plugin, while I have the VEP mixer always open, I would find useful to have this same command in the toolbar. Or, at least, something like the shortcut I suggested. It could also be added to the Options menu.

Paolo

Hi,

All drum libraries include LH and RH alternating samples. But are these necessary, considering that each of the sample include round-robins? Do you find the result more realistic, with the alternating samples?

Paolo

Just a hint on how I would find it comfortable: while in the main view of VEP, with the instance tabs on the left side of the window, Option-clic the Decouple Instance button in the tab. This would decouple/recouple all the instance at the same time.

Paolo

Hi,

Is there a way to protect and decouple all the VEP instances with a single command? Having to do it on all the instances I have in a typical orchestral project each time I start or end working is not very pleasant.

Paolo

Tape simulation can smoothen the sound by adding harmonics, without cutting high frequencies with EQ.

You already have a tape simulator in the Vienna Synchron Pianos FX section (the Saturator). The manual is quite stingy with information on the parameters, so I'm not sure which of the settings would give you the best tape simulation.

Paolo

Hi,

I absolutely need Timbre Adjust for the saxes. May I expect the SYzd version to be ready for next week?

Adding a dummy version of them to the template, to be ready on my side!

Paolo

An update: after force-quitting MIR, it seems that everything is working fine again. I'll keep an eye on it.

Paolo

Hi,

I'm having the context menus (the one that open when right-clicking) in MIR and in VEP all everywhere!

When trying to select an instrument profile, the context menu is attached to the right side of the display. It is not possible to open the sub-menus.

When editing a mixer channel name in VEP, the text edit window is all out of the display on the left side. Only a margin can be seen.

I'm on Mac Mojave.

Attached, an example of what is happening when trying to assign an instrument profile to the Trp.1 mute icon.

Paolo

Hi,

I can't find how to replace the venue on all the MIR instances at once. Is there a way?

Also, I would like to prevent an instrument change in Dorico to also change venue. As far as I've seen, changing an instrument in Dorico also keeps the saved information about the selected MIR venue, and changes it everywhere. Is there a way to lock the venue in MIR?
