    hi, i'm seriosly considering this library to get rolling with vsl.

    is this:

    01 VI-6_SINGLE-NOTES

    Short and normal staccato, détaché with 0.3 and 0.5 sec., each in two variations (downstroke and upstroke), sustained, espressivo with strong vibrato, and tremolo.

    all built in to one patch, with all of these articulations, which changes with velocities, or are the articulations all seperate patches.

    sorry, if this is a stupid question. it's just that vsl seems so huge of a commitment, and i am certianly confused and overwhelmed with questions so i will start there.

    best,

    robocop

    When you browse in Gigastudio and open that patch, tons of smaller patches show. [:)]

    Hi Robocop
    You get it all basically - its like Christian wrote: a lot of patches in each GIG file - there's single patches for each articulation, eg. staccato 1 etc, but then there's also a variaty of combination patches, ranging from simple alternation, eg. Staccato 1+2 combination, to the All combinations, where
    all articulations in a subgroup, say short notes, are combined and controlled by keyswitches - then you have Xfade patches, patches with Release triggers, rel.control and so on and so on.
    I had a quick look at my VI-6 Single Notes: There's 7 banks totalling more than 50 patches.

    to elaborate a little: the above is a fairly complete description of the underlying sets of samples. Both staccatos, both detaches, and the sustained all have four velocity layers. So that's something like 34 sets of samples. They are combined and programmed in different ways, not terribly many ways, for the 50 or more instruments.

    DIfferent people use them different ways; I've come to rely on single velocity layer, single articulation patches with prgram changes under midi control, for instance.

    The GS3x art files also offer additonal programing features and combinations.
