VI SE PLUS - How to make use of performance repetitions???

[mushanga]

Hey all,

I recently bought the PLUS (Standard and Extended) library, but am struggling to get to grips with it - in particular, the performance repetitions. What do I need to do to set up a performance repetition patch, for example, with the orchestral violins? And there are different types, like legato and spiccato...what do they do individually? Do I need to press any particular keyswitches on the keyboard? How do I get them to work? I have watched the Revised Repetitions tutorial video but just got confused :( it's not explained slowly and clearly from scratch.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks,

Matt

Can't anyone help me here....?

Would it also be possible for the VSL team to upload Christian Kardeis's demo for the Vienna SE Plus library ('Hannibal's Elephants') as I feel that would really help..

Hello Matt,

all you need to do is to play a repeated note, best with your sustain pedal, to keep the gaps between to notes minimal. Take the staccato/spiccato repetitions for fast repetitions, the legato repetitions for slower ones. The trick is that the connection between the notes (like in the Legato Performances) is authentic - the repetition has been played and then it was dissected into the different parts.

In Christian Kardeis´ Demo he is using mostly Fast Repetitions - these are very easy to play, simply trigger a note and you will hear 9 repetitions - if you leave the key earlier, you will be provided with a Release Sample.

I´d say, give it a shot!

Best.
