  4. Portamento 1B and 2B- No sound output

    I have the Orchestral Strings 1 and 2.

    The portamento 1B and 2B of Violins orchestra/VI-14 VSL Preset Level 1 don't output any sound at all.

    1B and 2B  work fine with the Violas orchestra, etc...

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks!

     I'm not sure which sound you mean here, as I cannot find anything called Portamento 1B or Portamento 2B, unless this originally belonged to the Special Edition. Perhaps you could state exactly the location of this sound. I assume it is a cell within a matrix? So perhaps you could mention which matrix and which cell.

    The only portamento sound I can see in VI-14 VSL Preset Level 1 , is in matrix 1, bottom left cell which is 04 VI-14_perf-portamento.  Where are you finding Portamento 1B and Portamento 2B?

    The portamento articulation in VI-14 VSL Preset Level 1 is accessed on MIDI note C2 (L1 VI-14 Perf-Legato Steed + porta)

    The Control Edit Location window allows you to select 1B (03 VI-14_perf-portamento) (Selected via MIDI Mod)

    Here is a screen cap showing 1B selected (which results in no sound output with Violins, but works fine for Violas, etc...)

    Thanks for your help with this matter.

    The portamento on the next preset in 21Violins orchestra, VI-14 VSL Preset Level 2, IS working though. So I guess I'll just have to use that one exclusively.

    Would be nice if someone from VSL can chime in at some point with a fix for Violins orchestra/VI-14 VSL Preset Level 1. :)

    Thanks for reporting.

    There is a patch name missmatch in the Preset "VI-14 VSL Preset Level" preset.

    The patch placed in cell 1B of this preset does have an uncorrect patchname, and this patch does not exist,

    the wrong name is:

    "03 VI-14:per-portamento"

    the correct label would be

    "04 VI-14:per-portamento"

    For a quick fix you can replace the faulty patch of this preset, finding the correct patch here in this folder of your patch browser:

     A - String patches / 21 Violins orchestra / 04 VI-14_perf-portamento

    Just drag this patch over the patch in Cell 1B and save the Preset as a custom preset.

    We'll also fix this Preset bug with an upcoming Library Update.

    best
