After the iLok updated the Articulate Presets do not work with Dorico. As I understand it, a fix is in the works. Anybody else having this problem?

Hi Andi,

Thank you for looking into this. I tried the new Vienna software updates but still have no success. How difficult is it to go back to the elicense version? Currently I cannot work.

Hi Andi,

No, I have all the content in the VIP player. The problem is that previously when opening an existing file or creating a new Dorico file, say for a solo violin, Dorico / Articulate presets would automatically bring up Vienna and load the necessary samples and articulations for the music. This is not the case any more.

Hi Andi, 

thanks for the replv. I removed and reinstalled VI Pro and and VI Pro for VI. I see both the VST 2 and 3 plugins (they were there before I reinstalled). I do not know what you mean about saving Dorico projects with VST 2 or 3. There is no choice when saving. In any case, new projects in Dorico do not work with VI either. 

Michael

Hi, 

When I open my Dorico projects, the VI windows open as before, but the samples do not load. I am using the Articulate Presets.

I would like to draw attention to the really excellent Expression Maps that the company Symphonic Riot has made for VSL and Dorico. Has anybody else tried them out?

Hello Andi,

Thanks very much for your reply. I figured that this was the case. I disagree with this decision, as from my perspective it breaks the basic logic and consistency of the mapping plan. But I will adjust.

All the best,

Michael

Something that I do not understand about VSL artificial harmonics is why they are mapped as they are. 

Let's consider an artificial harmonic on the G-string of the violin, the one achieved by fingering a note and then touching the string a perfect fourth above that, indicated by a normal notehead for the lower pitch and a diamond notehead for the upper pitch. On the violin the lowest artificial harmonic of this type is a concert pitch of Ab5, two octaves above Ab3 (the lowest fingered pitch on the G-string of the violin). When you play the midi note for this Ab5 pitch using the Vl_harm-art_sus patch, the concert pitch that results is Ab6, one octave higher. 

This causes no end of problems when using notation software that correctly maps the diamond artificial harmonic notation to the correct concert pitch, because then all of the harmonics in the score sound an octave higher than they should.

Why was this decision made?

Thanks, 

Michael

Hi:

I am suddenly getting clicks again in my Vienna sounds, a problem that I have not had for a couple of years, at least. They just started two days ago. I am not aware of any system changes on that day or anything else new. This is when playing back from Finale, which is the only way I have ever used VSL. I have all the latest versions of Vienna Software, OS 10.12.6, a MacBook Pro 15 Retina (late 2013), 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB RAM.

Ok, Andi. I sent the file.

Thanks!

Michael

Hi Andi:

I am still having this crash, even with the newest version of VEP 6. I can send you the crash log if it is helpful.

Michael

Thank you, Andi!

Michael

Has anybody had problems with Finale (2014.5) crashing when trying to alter audio settings in Finale files after installing VEP 6? I have posed question this to Make Music as well.

Michael

Thanks for the reply, Andi. Increasing the buffer size to 1024 seems to have solved the problem. I will let you know if anything changes.

Best

Michael

Hi: Using Finale to control VSL I am now getting lots of pops, clicks, etc. Just upgraded to the latest VSL software, also have Finale 2014.5 and the latest El Capitan (10.11.3)  on my MacBook Pro Retina (late 2013). 16 GB RAM.

The same Finale file plays Ivory piano back with no problems, and playing VSL with my keyboard also presents no problems. It is not intrument overload, since even after muting instuments in Finale, and reducing all instruments to a single flute I still get distortion. 

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Michal

I has been more than a year since the last post on this topic. I am still having this problem. Paul, is the VSL team still looking for a solution?

Thanks.

Michael

Since the latest VEP update I have been seeing this error when loading files:

Errors occurred while loading plugins:

AU: Klanghelm| DC1A2 (Could not create plugin)

Any ideas?

Michael

This problem persists in the latest VEP update. Again, it is not huge, but it continues to be irritating.

Michael

Thanks for this info, but I am not really comfortable working with command line stuff. I agree with Greg that this is not a huge problem, but it is a bit of an ongoing irritation and it would be great if it could be fixed.

Best,

Michael

Hi Paul,

I had hoped that the new version would fix this problem, but I am still having it.

Michael

Thank you, Paul.

Michael

In the lastest update I am still getting this request to allow VEP to accept incoming network connections. Can someone from the VE team please let me know if there is a way to make this stop?

Thanks.

Michael

Thanks for checking that, Greg. 

I guess I will put up with it until I hear something from the Vienna team. I don't want to run without my firewall on.

Michael

Thanks for the suggestion, Greg. I do have my firewall on, but VEPro is alreadly listed there as one of the approved applications. 

Michael

Are there any updates on fixing this problem?

Thanks

Michael
