    Damn, they have been busy in Vienna.

    This should be good!

    Certainly no question of what is being released now - just how good it is and of course the cost!

    Sure hope the "800,000" is in no way referencing the costs. [:)]

  • What would be "exapandable"? Any takers? Do you think they might be using some sort of sample engine of their own outside of using Giga or Kontakt?

  • I heard MIR would need it's own machine. Is this right? How are we single computer users going to use it? Perhaps rendering with MIR at the end when exporting down?

  • I'm hoping for a Powercore version of MIR so I can run it on my powercore firewire - probably not going to happen though [:)]

    I hope too.

    The ECB (European Central Bank) will rise interest rates on December. Apart from this inconvenience, a price > 1.000 EUR is out of question for me.

  • MIR is most definitely going to require its own machine, at least with current technological limitations. One simply can not work with that many IRs (several hundred at a time) while doing other tasks. Perhaps with the introduction of quad-core processors and the lifting of the RAM barrier we will see computers powerful enough to handle both MIR and a certain amount of, for lack of a better term, compositional elements, but for the moment I can't see it as feasible.

    It's important to remember that MIR is not just a mix panel or reverb plugin, it's designed to serve as the primary front end for the VSL library. What, exactly, that will mean remains somewhat unclear - at least to me.

    Dietz, please feel free to contradict me on any of this; I'm just rehashing what I've read.

  • 100's? Wow...I didn't realize that. Hopefully their will be a "low end" usage of cpu just for the sake of ambience [:P]. I remember hearing about Gigapulse's ability to also recreate the "body" of instruments using impulses....? If that is true than MIR will indeed be used for more than just reverb [[:|]] ! Imagine the possibilities....."Epic Strings" here we come!

  • Formats is also interesting...no?

    Could this mean that Halion and Kontakt users will no longer be limited to the Horizon series?

    And the 'Matrix'!?!

    - I'm thinking this will mean that we can effectively utilise 'bullet time' in the studio, allowing us to get more work done in a shorter time - or have extended tea breaks without missing a deadline [8-)]

  • I really need to sleep ... sorry. See you in 5 days !

    ZzZzzZzZZZZzzzZzzzzzZzZzzZZZzZzZZz

  • I'm sure I also saw the words 'chanter', 'grace notes', 'drones' and 'scottish' ...

    But seriously I've only recently discovered VSL and I thought it looked amazing enough - this new thing looks really awsome.

    I'm now starting to think 'midi baton' - that would be nice [:D]

    I couldn't put it better, Duncan, thanks a bunch! [:)]

  • If MIR *requires* a computer just for it's purposes then is it assumed that one has to have more than one computer to properly use Symphonic Cube? I hope this is not the case....

    THEN again is MIR going to be included in Symphonic Cube or just "announced" alongside it?

  • What is scary is how expenssive this will be... but whats equally or more scary is how expenssive it will be in terms of new computers, cables, soundcards and mixers to get everything connected.

    One needs more than one computer already to use the Pro Edition "properly", so I'm sure that SC will be no different in that regard.

  • It's all relative really depending on what you need for your piece but even so you would still need an additional computer for just MIR so it still applies... [:'(] To buy this and get an additional computer will be beyond as far as price....I'm still hoping it's "reachable".

  • Oh I know [I] Let's have a Christmas sale PLUS a Group Buy [:D] [:D] [[;)]]

  • I suppose that as I already have a PC farm, one more won't make any difference [:)]

    As to price, however much it is it can't be as expensive as hiring an orchestra, and if it saves my time then it will be worth it.

    Ditto.

    No Opus 3 on the horizon?

    No?
