    Hi Jasen,

    no, afaik time stretching is not made for only one Key on the Keyboard, but for all. If not, please tell me how you can use this only for one Key on the Keyboard.

    here are a few examples ...

    (all examples refer to Repitition 1 in the Vienna Inst. PRO Player).

    1. Percussive Violin: For this check Dimension Violins / Player 1 - articulation SustainVi and Key A2 (and/or a half tone below) on the Keyboard. There's a too loud Start-Klick which does not fit in the context cause it is too loud. With an Editor I would cut it (but only on G#2 and A2)

    2. Sounds which do not fit in the context: For this you can check Dimension Trumpets Preset 11PTr P1  Compact pro / articulation SustainVi and play C#2 and D2 and then E2 and F2 ... you will hear the differences in loudness. Here I would like to exchange the 2 soft tones with an Editor.

    3. Sounds which are not in tune: this seems to be a Brass problem.

    ... test Flugelhorn and/or solo trumpet Bb ... and play:

    a) Flugelhorn: articulation SustainVi ... play F3 on the Keyboard and you will hear that the tone does not start with an F, but a halftone below (sounds like Legato). Same with FortePiano C#3 and D3.

    b) Trumpet Bb: Same issue like a) ... articulsations FortePiano or SFFZ ... play tones E3 and F3 

    4.) Or as mentioned Recorders Alto ... G#2 and A2 ... but that was already a topic in another tread and was confirmed by other users.

    I hope that helps to understand. But the focus on this thread is to find good solutions and 2 have good ideas. So let's not dicuss too much like in the "insurance thread".

    Hi Lars,

    You should do a bug report at support@vsl.co.at

  • Horror-Effects ...

    i would like to have them for dimension strings and dimension wood. You can already create them by pitching each Player/Sound in another "direction". But what I still miss is the "UUUUuuuuuuuii - Horroreffect" - this cruel pitched sound (sorry, but I don't know the word for these effects [:$] ). This one can't be created by Manipulation in the VI Pro Player. (If someone did this with success, please answer and explain the way ... [Y] )

    Of course just a few Samples of that, not a whole Package and no layers. I think one length that can be stretched shorter would he enough.


  • I forgot something ...

    PLEASE give us a dry/wet Button for parallele Compression. This Type of Compression is much nicer to real Instruments.

    BR Lars


  • Please change the Name of Neuer Saal to Berio Saal, cause that is the official name since the Season 2009/2010.

    [H]

    ah ... before I forget ... Please give us a 3rd microphone for MIR.

    Thanks.


  • I have new wishes:

    Boys Choir, Boys Solos and ... 

     

    PLEASE MAKE THE DOWNLOADMANAGER MANAGING THE WHOLE PROCESS!

    At the moment it is great that the Downloadmanager is loading all the Samples, but it would be much better if you could give a link to the manager to even install everything by itself. Otherwise you have to sit and wait for each Instrument.

    BR Lars


  • Hi, There seems to be another Bug ... maybe someone else can take a Look to ... Stopped Horns 4er Version Take a Look at the Preset and Play Legato pLeg from F5 down to C5 (these Samples are hidden and have to be activated in Advanced Mode in Vi Pro) The Bug: you will not hear anything playing from E5 to D5 ... The Same Bug appears when you Play for example from F5 to H4 Please fix this. Thanks.

  • Another wish from my side ... Please allow us to put the Secondary Mic OFF in MIR X -Vienna Instruments . Thanks.

    Thanks for your suggestion!

    While this can be achieved easily in MIR Pro itself (... just switch off the Secondary Microphone), I can't see this happen anytime soon for MIRx. I know - never say never, but it would mean to re-export each and every IR-pair for each and every instrument, with an acoustic result which wasn't the one I was aiming for when creating MIRx' settings. It would make the handling of MIRx more complicated, and the size of each MIRx Venue would double.

    I'd say, this will stay a MIR Pro-exclusive feature. 😊 Thanks for your understanding!

    Kind regards,

  • Hi all, today the final of the ESC (Eurovision Song Contest) will be visible on TVs. Since the Title "Rise like a Phoenix" was the Winnertitle from Austria, last year, this years Show will be Sent from Vienna. AND I HEARD ......... that a guy called Dietmar Tinhof was part of the success last year and is again involved in this years Show. I would like to read a little Story from Dietz about the planning this year and the success last year ... maybe in the Vienna backstage stories for June. to Dietz from my side: WOW! Herzlichen Glückwunsch für diese Leistung! BR Lars

  • Thanks for the friendly words, Lars! It's only three hours until the start of the Songcontest's Grand Final, so I think I have to post-pone a more detailed answer. (My vote would go for Latvia, but I guess that Sweden will win ;-) ...). Kind regards,

    A snapshot from the ESC's official Production Handbook gives you some nice background information (s. attachment).

    ... and in case you're able to read German, there's a recent press release from VSL with further details:

    -> VSL at the 60th Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna (German only)

    Kind regards,

  • Thank you Dietz, wow, interesting. I is always good to know how the creators use their own creations. For us this years Contest did not end good ;D ... but I agree that Latvia was the best Song and also very good performed. Some figures are interesting: 40.000 users ... what a number! I did not expect this. Greetings Lars

  • my biggest wish for vienna instrument pro: a better browser!

    flip menue - search dimension strings

    flip menue - search violins

    flip menue - search player one

    flip menue - search regular

    flip menue - search short notes

    search staccato

    add staccato to the right slot

    -------------------------------------------

    ok, now you have staccatos... really still want some other articulation too? start from top...

    so it really needs lists we can choose articulations from and add as a multiple selection from a bigger menue in one go. in a readable size! pleeeeeaaaase!

    I recomment to look more closely into the search option of the patch browser. Referring to your example, you can type: "VI-P RE staccato", you will get filtered exclusively the staccato patches for all Dimension Violins for the regular string mappings.

  • good tip, thank you!

    but wouldn't it be easier to use the computers file system and a drag and drop system? 


  • I would drown kittens and eat babies if it meant that I could have the option to keep the Vienna Ensemble instances always "raised". These little service interfaces that are floating around everywhere are just making me nuts. I'm constantly looking for the right VE instance, minimizing and maximizing things and it's just super-annoying.

    Another option would be to consolidate all of them in some kind of "rack" or panel, so they don't clutter up the whole task bar.

    Actually, here's the deal: give me the option to make those darn little things disappear from my sight, and I will refrain from drowning kittens and eating babies!


  • Hi Dietz, this Future Wish goes to the MIR Team. I bought MIR Pro and X, because I like to open the Second Microphone in MIR only to a Certain Group of Vienna Instruments. A Mix of both MIR X with second Mic and Pro with deactivated Second Mic works best for it. But I would really like it in the future, to see activated MIR X Instruments Inside the MIR Pro Software on their Position WITH A SPECIAL MIR X Icon. That would be better for the visual Mix. Of course it would be another great Variant to have possibilities to open the second mic only for certain Instruments in MIR Pro! In German: Es wäre toll, wenn man bei einer Mir X Aktivierung im Vienna Instrument (und bei gleichzeitiger Nutzung von MIR Pro des selben Raumes) das Instrument in MIR Pro an seiner Position mit einem "VI-MiR X-Icon" sieht, auch wenn der eigentliche Effekt nur über das Vienna Instrument läuft. Das wäre hilfreich, um zu sehen, welche Positionen in MIR Pro bereits mit VI besetzt sind bei denen MIR X aktiviert wurde ... also ein visueller Benefit für mehr Transparenz. Edit: Um das zu vereinfachen könnte man anstatt des roten X in der Mitte des MIR Icons vielleicht die Farbe Blau oder Weiß für das X verwenden und müsste dann aber verhindern, das man dieses MIR Icon an eine andere Position verschieben kann. Davon abgesehen könnte eine De/Aktivierung des 2ten Mikrofons in MIR Pro für bestimme Instrument-Gruppen und Einzelinstrumente hilfreich sein. Trifft in der Praxis vor allem auf 3rd Party Gastinstrumente zu oder auf Instrumente, die bereits mit Hall aufgenommen wurden, wie die Rieger Orgel oder Omnisphere-Sampleinstruments. Danke & Grüsse an das MIR Team!
