    I just got the Symphonic Strings I and II.
    When I load the preset for the level 1 VSL (Violins) It loads fine but the portamento does not sound when I turn the mod wheel up.

    I went into Patch Assign and could see it was loaded, but when I move the mod wheel up, the sound stops.

    I've tried this with the cellos and basses and all is fine.
    I'm new so I may be doing something wrong, but it doesn't seem so since the others are working.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks.

    Hi Neal,

    a library update for Orchestral Strings I, which you can find here: http://vsl.co.at/en-us/68/375/240.vsl fixes this issue.

    You also can manually drag the portamento patch to the dedicated cell in the Matrix, and than saving the Matrix as custom Matrix file.

    Thanks Herb.

    I went to the link you supplied but it said not downloads are available for me.

    But I did figure out how to pull up the port patch and plug it into the matrix.
    Then saved it.

    Thanks for the help.

    HMMM.

    I saw two other downloads (solo strings and Symhonic Orch. II) so I thought I'd update those too.

    The first update (symphonic stgs I) went fast. Then I tried the other two and they both hung up with a beach ball. I forced quit and opened Digital Performer 5 but got an error message. Something about the activation key or registration. Don't recall. But those two no longer load.

    Help!

    please doublecheck if all data files for splo strings and orch strings II are present in the directory manager and of course none of this files are open (eg. a patch is loaded in an open VI) - i'd recommend to reboot (or at least log off / log on) before running updates to make sure no processes are still running.

    Well, it might be the weather, but I did have all my libraries open in the Directory Manager yesterday and it didn't work.

    Today I did the exact same thing and it DID work.

    Go figure??

    Thanks.
