So, dear friends, thanks to all of you FINALLY I'VE GOT IT!

The way I' ve chosen is:

1. In Logic I create a 4 voices track (channel 1.3.4.5.) and set it to MIDI Channel: ALL.

2. In VE Pro I insert 4 organs each one corrisponding to a channel (1.3.4.5.)

3. I control the orizzontal movements into the Matrice via Velocity. The vertical movement into the Matrice are done via 4 "tracks" (or Event Definitions, in Logic language) in Hyper Editor set as "Control", each one on the corrispondent channel (1.3.4.5).

4. The Slot XFade is controlled in a similar way via 4 "tracks" in Hyper Editor. This is very usefull to change register during a long note or chord, for very powerfull effects.

Everything works perfecttly! I really wish to thank all of you for the great help. 

All the best to you

Hello MassMover,

sorry for my late answer but I've been away.

So, yes, in this way it works. The only limit is that in this way I still can't  control every single voice (channel). What if I want to change register, let's say, only to the S or the A, or any other voice indipendently?

Of course I can control the change of the patches in the matrix in Hiper Editor (Logic) via Controllers but when I do so I can control only 1 voice. The others dont reacts.

The only way I can have a full control is creating four different tracks, each with one organ, and than I can do whatever I want as in a string quartet. Of course I've than I've to copy in a realistic score (in Finale) the all work.It's not too bad.

Do you have any other idea?

thanks a lot

Roberto

Yes, dear Williams and Goran

This was a misunderstdanding for me too, because I never was in need to create a new complex sound. Now it's clear. Slots, for the organ, are ment to create new regitstrations. And this will be very usefull.

Still my "problem" is: how to have a, let's say, 4 voices counterpoint (SATB) with 4 different registrations (1 for each voice - in 3 different manuals + the pedals)? Still the only way I see is to create 4 tracks, each one with a different organ (VI pro in VE Pro).

This the structure, the rest is "the color". 

I'll be away one week...

Thanks a lot for your time

Roberto

Hello William and Paul,

Yes, I've VI Pro (the old one, with 8 slots) and I often use this tecnic, specially with strings.

I've tryed and actually it perfectly works with organ too, creating an effect that I don't think it exist in reality: a slot "cross fade" between 2 stops or registers. I'll ask to my friend organist. VERY INTERESTING! 

What I'm not able to do (I'll go back to the VI Pro manual) is to shift, or switch, between slot 1 to slot 2 (in vertical).

From 1a to 1b I do it in Hyper Editor (Logic). but how to move in vertical? I'll study it.

Anyway, very usefull tip! I'll let you know If I discover some other thing. 

Thanks a lot and let's go on!

Roberto

Hello Dietz,

don't lose time to anwer. I find out how to use the noises. Very simple!

Roberto

Thank you William,

You propose a different approach wich, I've to say, It's still not clear to me. I don't use keyswitches but controllers, but this doesn't change anything (...as far as I know).

What I don't understand is how you can use simultaneously different stops (patches) if you have only one track for the entire organ. The only way I can imagine would be to give to each voice a different channel and connect each channel to a different VI organ in VE pro. Let's say: 4 voices composition, 4 channels, 4 organs (one per channel) and than switch to different stops via controllers. 

I will study your approach, in any case.

thanks a lot and good work to you

Roberto

Thank you Dietz,

yes, what you told me is actually what I did. I use VE Pro and I insert 4 organs, each one connected with one track. In Logic, Hyper Editor - via controllers - I can switch from different patches in the matrix I create.

The sound it works perfectly, it's only a strange feling. like composing for a "organs quartet", wich might be difficult to perform! 

Than I go to Finale for the final score.

Please, one more question: I didn't understand how I can activate the noises patches (register and the noises of the room).

Thanks a lot for your time

Hello,

I've just got the Konzerhaus Organ. Really impressive!!

I wonder how I can have different registrations for each manual (in a polyphonic writing) without using more tracks on different channels (one for every manual).

I use Logic and I control the articulation switch in Hyper Editor. 

What I did is to create 4 tracks (one per each manual) and I gave each one an individual organ. In this way it works but mybe there is a more "elegant" way using only one track with 3 staves (pentagrams) as normally for the organ writing.

Any help?

Thanks a lot 

Roberto

Thank you jasensmith,

I found out what is the problem just looking at the manual. 

The G6 is the extreme note and it ask for a lot of power from the player so, realistically, not all the patches can reach it. So only the "strong attacks" can go so high. Very clever and realistic...

Thanks again

Roberto

Hallo,

I bought the french oboe full library. Wonferfull!

Only one question: the oboe range should be B flat 3 to G6. Here instead it goes from A3 to F6 (F#6).

Any special reason?

Thanks for the answer

Roberto

Hallo,

I wish to buy, with the February special offer, 2+1(for free) new instruments. I wonder if my Snow Leopard 10.6.8 is still valid. I already use many VSL instruments but since a while I didn't buy new ones. I really hope I can still use my old sistem...

Thank you for your attention and your help

Roberto

Hallo,

Hello,

I can't find the Epic Orchestra Manual. Is there one? And if yes, where?

Thanks a lot 

Roberto

Done, perfect!

Thanks DG

Hi Vienna,

I work with VE Pro 4 and VI pro (last versions) and Logic 9. 

I've created many new matrixes on my tower computer and now I'd like to copy them on the VI pro in my lap top (macbook pro).

How to do it?

Thanks a lot for the help

Roberto

Hi Paul,

I wonder how you find the time to answer to mail as this one! thank you, anyway...

1) Yes, it's logic.

2) Done! I didn't remember that...

all the best to you

Roberto

Thanks a lot dear Vienna for the last FREE update! the new VI it's a really nice little brother of my VI Pro. 

Two questions: 

1-how can I transfer all my custom matrix from VI pro to VI?

2-Is there a possibility to customize the color of VI as for VI Pro?

Thanks a lot and good work to all of you

Roberto

Thank you Paul, very clear.

good work to you

Roberto

Hello,

I wonder if there is a way to crossfade 3 or more articulations.

Ex:  violin tasto sus; pont.trem; trill 1

to do tasto sus.; pont.trem it's ease, but the third?

any idea?

thanks 

Roberto

Thanks a lot Herb,

very clear

Hello Vienna, and happy new year!

I would like to save a kind of template of an empty matrix with this Controlers:

X = CC1

Y = CC15

AB = CC16

So that when I create a new empty matrix it comes out already  with this setting. Now it comes with X=none; Y=none; AB=Keyswitch.

I've already created a startup preset with this setting but this doesn't help.

Thank you

Roberto

Hello everibody,

I'm using VI Pro in VE Pro (last version) with Logic 9. I control it thru Hyper Editor and everything is ok. The only strange thing is with Reverb (CC14)

if I use to control matrix changes an "event definition" with "Program" as Status (and not: CC) the Reverb goes automatically to OFF as soon as I give play to the Track.

This doesn't happens in projects where I don't use matrix changes with Program. Any idea?

Thanks for help

Roberto

Ciao Miki,

volentieri, ma come ti raggiungo privatamente?

Roberto

I really don't know how to thank you all. It's a great help what you are giving me. 

More and more I'm convincing myself that the best solution is to buy the Chamber, until next time, maybe with Orchestral Strings. ...We'll see.

In a while I'll be back, I'm sure, to ask you some trick.

Thank you again and good work to all of you

Roberto
