1.How to record midi from Finale to Logic with vsl? 11/12/2021 12:14:50 AM

I'm hearing in another thread that Logic's demix setting only works on 16 tracks at a time.  Although it might work for more tracks in the 10.7 version with AU3.  (I'm currently on 10.6.2)

Also does some higher version allow you just specify port and track without going to the Environment in order to play and record Midi from an external source?

Could someone from VSL confirm or deny this?

Thanks,

Roger

2.How to access MIDI PORT 2 of VEP from Logic 11/12/2021 12:04:17 AM

So using the AU3 Beta you were able to record midi on multiple Ports/tracks at the same time?

Or did you have to do this by recording the tracks on Port 1 then recording Port2 etc. due to Logic's limitations?

3.How to access MIDI PORT 2 of VEP from Logic 11/10/2021 8:26:34 PM

Hi,

You report that you set up large multitrack multiport templates in Logic Pro using VEP.

I tried this using the VSL supplied multiport template but it only records audio.  I need to record the midi itself so I can edit using the piano roll.

When I record arm each track all I get is one midi stream recorded per port with all the instruments on it.  This is not helpful.

Do you know how to accomplish multi port midi recording in Logic?

4.How to record midi from Finale to Logic with vsl? 11/10/2021 7:19:05 PM

I use Finale to compose orchestral music and Logic Pro to play mostly vsl software instruments from the midi sent by FInale in real time.

I currently have a setup which uses the Logic environment to allow four ports worth of midi to play in Logic in real time as I play my composition in Finale 26.

The setup in Logic involves assigning channel splitters to software instruments which are sometimes just single instances of VEPRO or multiple instruments hosted in Ensemble 7.

The big problem with this setup is that it works great for the composing process, but when I need to record the midi from Finale into Logic it won't do it.  I think this is because the software instruments take midi input but only give audio output.

So to record Midi I have to use a more vanilla Logic Project in which I  can only record 16 channels of Midi at a time which requires me to  sometimes do as many as four different passes,  and line everything up. Depending on the piece this can be very time consuming.

I tried to implement vsl's template for multiple ports in logic but while it plays from FInale's midi it does not properly record the midi; it appears to put it all on one track instead of distributing it to the different instrument tracks.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Roger Rudenstein

5.Matrix cells in Ensemble are disabled when ensemble is brought down 10/20/2021 12:05:04 AM

Recently, the matrix cells in Ensemble appear to be inactivated when Ensemble is brought down so when I bring my project up again all the cells are disabled.  Where do you make the setting that keeps any active cells active when project is brought up again.  I am using Logic Pro X 10.6 and Ensemble 6.

I plan to upgrade soon to Ensemble 7 but I anticipate the same problem.

Thanks,

Roger Rudenstein

6.Logic Pro 9 does not recognize CC1 matrix control Midi codes from Dimension Strings 1/2/2014 8:20:27 PM

I have Finale running on a PC and Dimension Strings running in Logic Pro 9 on an iMac.  The two are connected via Midi cords and  interfaces.  I experienced no problems in Reaper, but Logic 9 does not recognize matrix slot changes when the Matrix Control is set to send on CC1 (mod wheel).  I am using Vienna Instruments (the regular, not the Pro version) and assigned the instrument to a Logic Software Instrument track. Since I have two ports I have created a channel splitter in the Logic Environment to access the various channels (otherwise you can't do more than one port in Logic).  This results in Logic capturing the midi sent from Finale and playing it through Dimension Strings, but, as I have mentioned, the CC1 changes are being stirpped off.  Does anyone know how to fix this or of a more effective way of using VSL with Logic?

7.[SOLVED] Cannot load Dimension Cellos 7/5/2013 8:05:27 PM

Thanks. That did the trick!

8.[SOLVED] Cannot load Dimension Cellos 6/30/2013 9:37:18 PM

I just downloaded and installed the Dimension Cellos.  I diwkiaded the most recent download manager to do this.  But now I get this message when I try to load the Dimension Cello matrix:  Error loading matric 01 VC-D1_REG_L1_art-combi,  When I click on OK i get another message: Cannot load a matrix saved by a newer version of VI.  I am on an iMac with 8 gig of RAM using Snow Leopard.

Please help.

9.Tuning seems to slip periodically on Special Editiion 2/1/2011 9:02:10 PM

 I'm not using gliss. I do use smart shapes for cresc. and decresc., slurs, etc. but not gliss   But even if I did, how would you explain the fact that after I bring VE down and then up again, the problem goes away and does not reoccur right away...maybe even not at all that day..yet I'm still working on the same exact piece, playing it over and over again.

Does anybody have any other ideas?

10.Tuning seems to slip periodically on Special Editiion 1/15/2011 2:59:52 AM

Don't see how my sound card could change sample rates since I don't re-configure it daily.  In addition to vsl, which I'm running in ensemble stand alone, I'm running Truepianos and GPO Aria Player in Reaper and they don't change pitch.

11.Tuning seems to slip periodically on Special Editiion 1/14/2011 3:32:53 AM

Where do I find the playback sample rate for vsl?

12.Tuning seems to slip periodically on Special Editiion 1/13/2011 10:45:12 PM

Hi Andi,

    You asked me which position the pitch slider is in on the Perform/Map Control section.  In that section I do not see a Pitch Slider. Under "Perform Control" I do see a line for "Pitch" with a value on "None". I assume this means no controller is assigned to pitch.  The only  two performance categories that have controls assigned are Expression (CC11) and Volume (CC7). I didn't make any settings in this section for any of the instruments so these must be the default settings.

     I don't send any Pitchwheel midi messages from Finale that I am aware of.

      I'm runnning Finale on a PC and sending the Midi to the Mac where Vienna Ensemble is running. I use Channels to access the various instruments. I set CC1 as the Controller to change matrix cells, which is how I handle articulations.

       Do you have any other ideas as to why the pitch suddenly changes. In a four hour composing session this usually happens once.  I have the feeling it is something Finale is sending but I don't see what it could be.

Regards, Roger

13.Tuning seems to slip periodically on Special Editiion 1/10/2011 10:34:56 PM

I'm using Special Edition strings with Finale 2004.  Each time, at some point the tuning slips a semi-tone.  I'm running it in Ensemble on an iMac with 8 gig ram and Snow Leopard OSX operating system.

I suspect that VE is getting some Midi value that is doing this but it is definitely not planned on my part.  The cure is to bring Ensemble down and then up again...although in one case I had to reboot the Mac.

Anybody else experience this?

Thanks,

Roger Rudenstein, composer
