Hi Andi,

thank you so much for the link you've supplied. Much appreciated :-)

best wishes,

Steve :-)

Hi to the forum,

could someone please point me in the direction of the vsl expression map videos, and also the Sibelius videos on the site if possible.

many thanks,

Steve :-)

I'm very sure I saw a post by Herb saying how he did this in Vienna Instruments. It was a feature of the Opus libraries that you could choose which bow you wanted to start a passage, but from what I remember, Herb did outline how this was achieved in the new vi's. But I'm sorry, I'm not sure where that particular post was, and I canot remember the date he posted it.

I think if you could find his name and do a post search on what he has put on the forum, and you may find it there. It should still be there I'm very sure.

best,

Steve  :-)

Hi there clure,

no problem. Thank you for the hard work in doing this - I'm sure it will be helpful to me. I haven't installed it yet, but I'll put it in the folder you said when I do.

Thank you kindly for getting back to me on this.

best,

Steve

Hi there clruwe,

thank you for the percussion map, I'm wanting to try this out in sibelius7.5. Could you please tell me which folder do I add this too in my Sibelius/avid folders.

thank you for your help with this,

best,

Steve

Look forward to hearing some more soon Stefan! I did come across the news on another forum about the upcoming piano, so will be looking forward to more news from vsl!

thank you for sharing the demo.

Hi Paul,

I remember you sending me the link to this asio software, and I finally got around to trying this. I downloaded and installed the software. I then started up Vienna Instruments Pro Stand-alone, and it did not crash at all this time. It opened perfectly well.

Your solution was just the one I needed.

thank you Paul. :-)

best,

Steve :-)

Hi Alex,

glad you were able to solve your problem. I won't risk that with myself though, I'm using vi pro player for important project, and I'm worried I may tempt fate and cause something to go wrong when loading up my instruments using a previous version.

But I'm glad you were able to find a solution. I just can't work out what is causing it to crash, when the vi player works well in all the other non-standalone modes.

Well, maybe it will be fixed with the next version.

thanks,

Steve :-)

Hi all,

I'm having trouble  - V.Inst pro standalone crashes every time I start it. It works fine in non-standalone mode when I use it in Cubase, but by itself, no. I've updated it and also updated the latest e-licencer, all to no avail.

Not sure what to do next. I've had the problem for quite a while, but thought I would leave it. Now I've done the latest vi pro software installer, plus e-licencer, it still crashes when I start it by itself.

anyone else having or have had a similar problem, or any ideas to get this working?

thanks,

Steve :-)

Hi there Sururick,

there is a demo of mine on the Music page, where I have long phrases that use the progressive vibrato. I'm not sure how many times I use it, but most of the opening phrases with long notes, I use this patch. I do also recall using the high vibrato patches for the legato in this music.

I hope that is helpful.

Hi Paul and Bbelius,

thanks for your input and help. Yes, a million trillion Hooray's for back ups!!

My east-west Play would not work either, but they sent me a message saying that this sometimes happens after a windows update and they gave me a link -  as you did for the Visual C++ etc file.

I did have a major panic - one of those "What on earth is going wrong now!!??" moments when all my different music softwares would not start up -  Sibelius, East West, VSL. I was up till 12.30 am in the morning trying to sort it out.

thanks again for your input guys,

much appreciated.

Steve

Hi Paul,

yes, I did a restart - but it didn't solve it, but good news, I got my pc to take me back to an earlier build of Windows 10 [I was very worried files would disappear], and Sibelius, Vienna Instruments and V Ensemble all work now in Sibelius and Cubase.

I did a reinstall of Vienna Instruments Pro and Vienna Ensemble, and checked that these still were able to load and play in Cubase, and they did with no more missing .dll problems.

The only thing I cannot get working now is Vienna Pro standalone. It keeps crashing on me when I start it, but at least I can get it going in Sibelius and Cubase.

I don't know what on earth caused the missing .dll files, but I think I 'll stick with this particular past Windows 10 version for a while.

Thanks for getting back to me Paul. I'll do another restart and check if the standalone version will work after reinstalling it again.

best,

Steve :-)

even worse - when I tried to reinstall them I saw two messages .

"The code execution canno proceed because MSVCP140.DLL was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."

"The code execution cannot proceed because VSRUNTIME140.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem"

anybody else have a similar message. I'm wondering if it has to do with the latest Windows 10 update I installed today.

thanks for any possible answers here.

Steve

Hi all,

Something is going wrong - possibly after I did the latest Windows update today. Vienna ensemble won't start, same for VI pro standalone. Sibelius 7.5 won't start  - I've never had so many missing dll file messages in one hour!

It's saying that reinstalling may fix the problem. I'll try and see what happens.

Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

thanks,

Steve

Hi again William,

Glad you liked Beat's demo. I thought the sound was amazing that Beat achieved with this. I have to hand it to Beat, he really knows how to use articulations so well. I thought he really showed what you can do with the shorts in his demo. Amazing sound!

Also, as you mentioned about the different legato attacks -having that as a variation of the legato gives more choice of the attack of the notes. I'm sure that we'll be able also to hear this when Paul does his video on legato.

Steve

Hi William,

no problem - I listened to the music, and then the YouTube video followed with some more lovely work from you.

I'm glad you are enjoying the library. Yes, the VSL Libraries are all different.  I really did enjoy watching Paul in his videos showing the very soft articulations.

Have you also heard what Beat Kauffman has done with the short articulations from Synchron with the new partita version? He has achieved a very energetic sound - very realistic - I do love the shorts of this library. Amazing sound. It's great that there is energy in the short samples.

 All the best with creating music with this library. You've done very well with what I've heard in the YouTube video. I wish I could get my demo's to sound as good as that!

best,

Steve

Hi William,

I went to the "No greater Love" link and had a listen. A very lovely and nice piece of music. Sounds very expressive.

thanks for sharing

Steve

Hi Beat,

 Thanks so much for doing the Partita version with the Synchron Strings. It really sounds great what you have done here.  I'll be keeping a watch out for any more demo's that are done on this site with this library.

Thanks again for posting that demo.

best regards,

Steve :-)

Oh, I'm a little bit late to the Synchron Strings demo thread - a worker cut my internet line about a month ago, and then it was fixed, but  then last week a bulldozer clearing area for a cabin to be built, ripped up a NBN internet cable through which I was connected, but I'm finally back on the net again with my own computer, but had the internet on where I work part time so I  managed to hear the demo's when first released, ....oh, wow - this string library is just awesome sounding. Beautifully clear and so expressive. Oh, it is a definitely "I must have this" sample library.

Thanks for the demo's Guy and Christof. I love what you've created with these strings. Fantastic work both of you.

VSL - take a bow and enjoy the applause! Well done. What an amazing sound you have created! As soon as I heard the sounds I loved them straight away, and my mind started buzzing with all of the things I could do with the sound of these strings. Thank you VSL!

best,

Steve

Yes, Synchron Strings I contains all the string sections listed on the product page: 1st violins (14), 2nd violins (10), violas (8), cellos (8) and double basses (6).

Thank you Paul,

that's great. I just wanted to be sure.

Hi to the forum,

When we buy the library, I'm guessing that even though the violas and DBasses are not ready yet, we still get them as part of the price, and still download them when ready? [ - like when Dimension Strings was released, they waited for the Cellos etc, but they were still included in the original price]. Sorry if this sounds a kind of stupid question everyone!

thanks,

Steve

oh wow, oh wow oh wow!

Too much excitement - will I be able to sleep the next week until they are availble? 8 velocity layers? Fantastic! plus variations with them.

Really looking forward to hearing the demo's.

all the best vsl with this.

Steve :-)

Hello Jay,

thanks for that help. I'll do that then.

best regards,

Steve :-) :-)

Hi to the forum,

I'm using the flute legato patch in Sibelius but when I have a long note in one place, it cuts out on me, so I would have to start it again possibly. Are the legato's looped as in some of the other libraries?

thanks if you have any advice here.

best,

Steve.
