    Its a bit of trial and error. But learning the basic principle of it is easy. Whats hard is finding out exactly how to set it up as you want it, and in a way so switching from one patch to the other is natural. But its dooable sure. The example you mention is just a matter of loading each patch into a cell in the horizontal matrix, and just telling it that you want to switch patch using keyswitches.

    What hard is setting up the advanced stuff. But there is no braindamage involved as its plenty of fun if you have the time to do it [:)]

    [TEST UPDATE]

    I just loaded 4 new instances, but only used three.

    I loaded Oboe, Flute and ClarinetB

    Each wind had loaded

    Staccato
    Short Portato
    Medium Portarto
    Long Portato
    Sustain
    Legato Normal

    I had about 137MB left

    There was appearently no problem with playback, but I dident test it thoroughly. Bare in mind also that this test was done on a slave machine. On my main Daw I only have a little over 1GB left for samples after cubase is loaded. However that would still be enough to load all the solo strings with the articulations I mentioned.

    That's really impressive! Thanks so much for checking it out.

    Actually what I was thinking is, since I am goning to buy a new machine (have 2 at the moment) so I can spread my orchestral work to 3 computers for each dedicated section (strings, brass and wind with percussion staggering around hehe). Instead of needing to go through the god-knows-what-will-happen-when-you-install-GS3 route, I might as well have the new host running with VSTi only. Was thinking strings coz it seems it would need the fewest instances to load up among the 3 families.

    Thanks again! [[;)]]

    Thanks Christian for the infor. Very impressive. With 4 slaves and Host It sounds like 'freezing' will not be necessary in all but the biggest projects/arrangements.

    Still have to sort out how to deal not having GP (during writing stage). What are you going to do on this?

    I still have to pick up VStack - was that a clean install and setup?


    Thanks for all the 'advance look' for us poor saps that can only dream about it (still waiting for Illio to ship).

    Setting up V-stack is no prob. As long as you have MOL installed, V-stack fits right in.

    Still dont have a verb solution yet.

    Sorry Chrisitan, what is "MOL"? I'm going to have to get VStack for my PC, and as a Mac guy (I use Mac for sequencing and Pro Tools) I'm a little slow on the PC side of things...[;)]

    They have a program called Mide OverLan (MOL) which allows you to send midi signals over your network to any computers you may have.

    Daft question...is Midi Over Lan available for Mac users or is it just for Windows?

    So many things to learn... [[;)]]

    Looks cool, but I don't see it's advantage for a simple two computer setup like I have. I record on the Mac, and take a MIDI out to the PC. Done...[;)]

    It is cross-platform, so that your DAW can be a Mac or a PC and your slaves can also be either. Where it can be useful is that you don't need to connect a MIDI device to use a Giga (for example) PC with a Mac sequencer, and the MIDI timing is tighter than any hardware device.

    I beleive the new version called MolCP supports mac. I think the CP stands for Cross Platform.

    Yes, I have timing problems a lot with Giga, especially if I dare do any drums.

    I'm embarassed to say I'm really dumb about this, I read the manual on this but....I need some kind of network cable going from somewhere out of the PC to the Mac...right? [;)]

    Gee this is silly I know but I have not messed with networks. My Mac is connected to DSL and that's about as far as I've gone...

    Thanks for any help in setup.

    You're not on your own Tom, but this one i know just enough about to maybe help.

    You'll need a free network card in each machine, and a normal network cable.
    Once MOL (Midi over a Local area Network, which is what you'll create when you cable one comp to another) is installed, follow the instructions.

    I'm sure others will chime in if this is wrong.

    Regards, and good luck,

    Alex.

    Just in case anyone's interested MIDI over Lan is built into OS X. Have a look at the Utility "Audio MIDI Setup" and double click on the network Icon. I think this is only 10.4 and above.

    As a matter of interest, can I route MOL through a router to a second PC?

    My setup is through a router which then enters a hub (since I only have 4 exists from my router and need 6). So yes - no problem in using a router if I understand you correctly. If you can set your computers up in a network, then you can use MOL.

    as a proof of concept i routed MoL even through the internet to a machine controlled by remote desktop - very funny [;)]
    you just have to make sure the respective port (usually 11 000 UDP) is not blocked on the router (and of course also not by a local firewall)
