I've noticed this for several years now.  I just try to be real fast!  I'd love it if this didn't have to happen.

Oh, Yes.  So nice.

Hello, Paul.

Is it necessary to reinstall the VI Pro remote app each time VI Pro is updated?

Thanks.

Yes!

This makes Finale very nice to use with VSL now!  Thank you!

Thanks, Andi.  I didn't notice it, so I'll download again and check it out.

Hi.

My point is that I have no idea how to use the new Keyswitch Dump.  I've downloaded it and installed it in Finale, and I can see all the selections in Finale.  I also have the latest HP Preferences, which is working nicely.

Where do I look for tutorial for KS Dump?  Finale or Vienna?

Thanks!

I'm interested in Beta Testing for you.  I have an iPad (3), and have used an iPad for DAW control since they first started coming out.

Well, yes.  But that's the problem.  Anytime I push Reverb to OFF in VI Pro 2, it may or may not crash the DAW, Cubase or Logic.

Do you know of a Global setting for VI Pro 2 itself?

Thank you.

Hi.

Yes.

I use Logic 9.1.7.

It happens once in a while, too often, causing Logic to crash.  I've tried it without and with patches loaded, and it may crash either way.

I'd much prefer the default for the reverb to be OFF, since I mainly use VSL reverb on busess with Logic.

Just a word to say that the new VI Pro 2 is much better for me to operate!

I just checked my Directory Manager, and all of my sample libraries appear in RED, but when I scroll down, they are also listed in black.  The instruments are playing fine.  Should I have a RED list?

Hello.

I have CB6, and have used it a lot with VE Pro with Vienna Instrument Pro.  I setup VE Pro with instruments loaded, each on its own MIDI Channel.

In CB I choose VE Pro in the VST Instruments window, then add as many MIDI tracks as I have instruments in VE Pro, and select then select VE Pro MIDI channels for each VE Pro instrument.  This way, I only have the MIDI tracks and one Folder showing VE Pro, and all the MIDI channel tracks.

I also have PT9, but haven't used it for a while.  I think I'll give it another try, since you have such good experience with it.

Hello, Marko.

I think you made the sax sound very authentic!  I remember some of the good jazz players that were doing this kind of playing, and you made it work well.

I don't know what happened, but Sib 7 with VE Pro & App 1 (L2) is now playing trills correctly!

Hello, Andi.

I rechecked my Appassionata Strings 1, and there are trills (m2 to MA3) in the extended version, which I have.  So, I'm still looking forward to making trills work with App Stngs.

Thanks!

Hi, Andi.

Thanks!

Yes, I'm used to setting up Sibelius correctly by now, but I'd better check the articulations for my VSL Libraries.  I didn't realize that Appassionata did not have trills.  I've heard the 'Sibelius trills', but truthfully, they sound bad when compared to even my Concert Strings Plus trills that were recorded live.

Not to criticize App at all; I just won't use trills when I load up App strings.

Thanks again!

Hello!

I'm using VE Pro with OS X Lion and Sibelius 7.  I use the Soundsets from the user area here.  Updates are all recent.

The issue with App Strings I, is that I can't get many of the articulations to work properly, especially trills lately.  I copied the Sounds folder over from the Sib 6 folder to the new Sib 7 Sounds folder.  The Concert Strings + articualtions appear to be working properly in Sib 7.

I think I know how to setup the Soundsets in Sibelius, but I'm at a loss as to what I need to do to make App work again.  It used to work in Sib 6.

I've gone through the Optimizing document again, and don't see anything to help the situation.

I hope you can point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

Hello!

I, also, bought App Stirngs 1 this year.  Nice string set.

My only question is, do you have a Steinberg or VSL elicenser Key?  I see you have the iLok key, but the eLicenser key is what is needed for Vienna Instruments.  Also, I believe that you can use Vienna Ensemble and Vienna Instruments free plugins (not the PRO versions) with the G5, in order to play your new App Strings through your DAW.

I'm not using a G5 anymore, but the earliest Mac Pro Intel 2.66 Dual Core.

I think your machine should work fine.

Hi, Lukasz.

Let the community know what your computer setup is, including memory, hard drives, speed of computer, Audio Interface, DAW, etc.  It could be one or more of a few things that makes this happen.

I don't think it's likely to be damaged samples, but that's a possibility.  You can permanently put your setup information in the signature portion of your PROFILE, so people can see it whenever you leave a message.

Hi.

Panning should work just fine.  I just tried the reverb you're using, and I was able to have the panning work fine.

Have you downloaded Optimizing VSL in Sibelius?  It's in the USER AREA, in NEEDFUL THINGS, then SIBELIUS.

Hello!

I can only suggest that you try Vienna Ensemble with Sibelius.  That's what I'm doing these days.  Actually, I'm using VE Pro.  If you use VE Server with Sibelius, you'll have a nice mixer, and you can load your Reverb into a Bus channel right in VE.  There is a good 'how to' in your user area for working with VE and Sibelius.

I don't know what Reverb you want to use, but just be aware that you'll need the 64bit version if you're using 64 bit VE.  Otherwise, you can run the 32 bit version of VE to load a 32 bit Reverb.

I just remembered that I ran short of USB slots on my Mac Pro, so I installed a USB/Firewire combo card internally in the computer.  That's where I HAD the eLicenser plugged in.  It's now plugged in to one of the Mac built in ports in front.

I think it's something with my system and/or Sibelius.

I'll check some more over at Sibelius Forums.

Thanks!

Hello.

I don't have an idea yet whether this is a Sibelius issue, or VE Pro, or whatever.  I'm using all most recent updates, except OS X is still at 10.6.6.

I've been using a rather small setup, either Brass Quintet, WW Quintet, or a combination of 5 brass and 5 ww.  In VE Pro i load the Presets that were made for Sibelius by VSL.  I have recently upgraded all of the DL instruments, which is all I'm using, with their Extended versions (Sibelius Presets).

I use the Vienna Instruments House Style.  In Sibelius Playback Devices, I'm using VE Pro with the Woodwinds + Brass Soundset.

Is anything I'm doing contributing to the constant crashing of Sibelius?

Also, I've noticed that when I can quit Sibelius normally, the Window containg the VI Pro instrument in VE Pro, will close normally, but I always have to use Force Quit to completely quit VE Pro.

Thanks

Hello again!

I started having lots of problems with Sib 6.2 using os x 10.6.7.  For example, playing my keyboard for note input stopped working-no sound and no input.  I could only use the mouse to select a note and put it on the staff.  Also, Sib would crash all of the time whether I used VI Pro or VE Pro, even when I used as few VSL instruments as 4 in VE Pro.

I checked the Sibelius Forum, and saw that many people reported similar issues.  Also, every time I ran Repair Permissions, I'd get a very long list of repaired permissions.  I ran it a lot, and this was the case every time.  I even tried the latest OS X Font update, and no resolution.

So, I followed the suggestions on the Sib Forum, and reverted back to 10.6.6.  Now, things are working nicely again!

Hello.

Here's the quote I focused on for my understanding.  So far, I've only purchased Extended libraries in groups of three for my free Extended versions.  Maybe I'm wrong here, but that's what I thought:

If you purchase and register 3 Download Instruments (3 Standard Libraries or 3 Extended Libraries) between April 13 and May 15, 2011, you’ll receive 1 FREE Download Instrument (Standard Library or Extended Library) of your choice!

Maybe I should take that senence to be very 'literal'(?).
