I'm close to pulling my hair out trying to get close to this sound  with the standard libraries.

Do I need the articulations from the full/extended libraries?

A common task is to set all the instrument ctrl values to defaults at the begin of a track or region (logic). Is there a single CC that does that in VI/VIPRO? Logic does not have an easy macro/function that you can insert as a single Meta event which sends a list of CCs to the instrument. You would simply insert this single event (from file, alias or list) into the region, and then edit the CCs individually. Automation or the HyperEditor/Draw are just aweful for this.

Is there a subforum or other net forum where one can get advice on how to setup VIPro's features to get to a specific sound? Not for questions about mixing and other effects, just for patch/layering/nobs configuration info.

Edit: Found the beat-kaufmann.com website.

I am trying to control reverb and other sliders of Vienna Imperial via cc codes from my sequencer (Logic). I see VePro5 instrument instance responding to the midi cc91 (reverb), but the slider does not move. Does Vienna Imperial not support cc codes? I could not find a controller map. What am I doing wrong?

Edit: Never mind. I found the passage in the manual section about Midi Parameters. I solved my laziness by doing it properly through effects/MIR.

a bit harsh in places, but beautiful!

Logic 9.1.7, VePro5 5.1.11548, both 64-bit, doesn't seem to depend on instrument load

I get this long hang and spinning wheel when I try to save the VePro5 project. Trying to input a name for the save file, and even clicking Cancel causes multiple periods of spinning wheels, before the window goes away. This has probably been asked before, I just can't find the solution.

Edit: only on 'Save As', saving coupled through the host is fine.

Thanks

Based on the howto from Tobias Escher's Orchestral Template, I wanted to test the whole flow from sequencer (Logic 9) midi -> VE Pro 5 plugin (local and networked servers) / MIR / VI / VI Pro 2 -> host audio, not just the MIR effects engine :)

I found it mentioned on http://www.vsl.co.at/en/68/428/1093.vsl that you only get the Epic Orchestra with a permanent license. Oh well, will probably have to buy it then.

I am new to VSL and am trying to test it. So far, I installed

- VE PRO 5, got demo license

- MIR PRO, got demo license

- VI PRO 2, got demo license

I was hoping that the Epic Orchestra would be usable with the demo licenses, before committing to purchase any instruments, or collections. I don't seem to find how the Epic Orchestra is used with the demo licenses. There is no 'try' button in the Products page.
