    I'm working my way though the tutorials at the moment. Just a couple of comments so far:

    I was unable to download all the tutorials; some of them don't seem to exist yet!

    I have also tried out the VL-14 demo pre-set in order to re-create what Christian has done. In the VL-14 muted demo he uses a repeated note patch. I can see it loaded in the Matrix, the keyswitch is in the MIDI file, but nothing happens when the keyswitch is played. It still stays on the legato patch, and so sounds weird. Could I have changed some system setting that will have stopped this preset working, or is there a problem in the preset?

    I would also like some information about the use of Breath Controllers, as it seems that the Velocity Crossfade is done using this method. I have no experience of using one, but it would certainly free up a few fingers! Maybe there could be a separate "sticky" to explain how they work mentioning things like sensitivity, what happens when you breath etc.

    I found two bad links for the tutorials:

    VA piano-portamento - zigane
    VI-14 universal-mode 1

    both are fixed

    regarding preset file I'll ask Christian Kardeis for checking.
    Do you use the AU or the VST version?

    Still can't get the 64 VI demos to play!!! Is there something I should be doing other than clicking on the "play" arrow???

    The "play" button opens a popup, where you can choose to start a mp3 player or download the mp3 to your computer, and for most demos also tutorial datas for download.

    For those that are interested, I managed to use the tutorials for Orchestral Strings Universal I & II on a single PC with 2GB RAM. It left about 65MB of RAM free but still played ok.

    Saying that though I must complement the VSL team on the RAM Save feature. After using it on the 5 tracks the total memory usage went down from approx 1.2GB to about 9MB! Now that's what I call optimisation [[;)]]

    The Woodwinds BA-3 universal-mode tutorial download is linked to the mp3 instead.

    please make sure you don't have any popup-blocker active at least for vsl.co.at. in IE you could click on the information bar on the top of the browserwindow and select *allow popups from this website* - be assured we don't use any advertising popups [;)]

    Thanks CM! Demos seem to work now. I must have inadvertantly blocked. The demos are Fantastic! Look forward to more of the extended pieces, i.e. "Meditation". Thanks again.

    These demos are really great - well done and thanks.
    Particularly useful are all of Christian Kardeis' packages with settings files.

    One thing: Is it possible to add the tempi indications to the windows that open for each link? When I drag the midi files into Logic, I always get whatever tempo is set at the time.

    I have also re-named the .aupreset files (most were just called "demo preset") and they now live in my VI user presets folder. Great for future reference.

    Thanks and regards - Colin

    hi colin,

    if you just doubleclick the midifiles they should open in Logic in the tempo they were created.

    because I played them live into Logic without listening to a click, just using Logic like a tapemachine, they are mostly tempo 100 because this is the tempo of my Autoload Song.

    Sometimes this changes, because for the Ensemble pieces, at least for the first track I needed the click as a conductor substitute.

    Christian,

    First of all I wanted to thank for what have been the most 'useful' demos to date. We all know that VSL makes for beautiful music - you have shown us time saving ways to achieve this.

    Question - on the VC-3 p port and trill demo - I 'see' 'aftertouch' controller data in the sequencer BUT no controller changes in the VI - can you tell me what the 'aftertouch' data is controlling on those demos.

    Many thanks.

    Rob
