Would be great...

IMHO the brass needs even more lengthening than the strings

True. I was just saying, VLN-14 as an example. I'll modify that.

I for one am encouraged that Herb announced the new mapped versions for EXS. I can't stand its interface for doing any serious editing. It sounds as though Halion has a leg up in this fashion, although it still remains tedious work.

One question, Herb:

I understand this is a huge undertaking and announcing these things in advance is not the wisest policy (with changing deadlines, etc.) but is there more info concerning this update that you can leak? Like which libraries will be available first with the new patches? Is there a general timeline over the next couple of months or something?

Oops, that's more than one question.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to it. VSL continues to amaze me with their customer support.

Do you mean the updates with the new mappings of the performance legato instruments - the new versions where you can blend via modwheel to the sustains?

The EXS version should be online soon, in the next few weeks, probably shortly after NAMM.

Yes, you are correct.

That is wonderful news. I appreciate the fact that this product continues to evolve after the sale.

Thanks!

Hello,

to download the new GS3 art files please go to our user area:

www.vsl.co.at/user, log in and download from "updates" => "Art files (GS3)".

Best wishes, Paul

Hello Paul,

It seems the two new zip files, PerfSet_Brass_v3b & PerfSet_Percussion_v3b respectively, have some problems:

The first one still gives the "does not exactly match" error message. This happened with the HO_PERF-LEGATO.GIG file. I will check if this happens with the other files as well.
The second one simply cannot be downloaded (file is missing i guess).

Can you please check again these two files?


Thank you,

Christian

Only the horn performance articulations still give some error messages when loading the art files. Everything else seems to be ok though.

A big thanks to Jay for these files, the modwheel blend sounds awesome!

Regards,

Christian

Hi Christian,

could you please specify the error messages (how much is "some", what exactly does GS say?).

Do you still have problems downloading the Percussion-zip?

Thanks for your help,

Paul

For each of these files this message appears:
" Note: the instruments you are importing were saved from a file whose wave pool does not exactly match the current wave pool. The differences include the following samples: blah blah blah "

The only files that caused me some problems are the Horn Perfomance Set ones:

20 HO_PERF-LEAGATO_v3b.art: 38 samples are listed.

ALL the other art files (22 HO -> 37 HO, except 21 HO) always list one sample: HO_RS_mf_C2

Hope this helps...

For some reasons i can't download the Percussion zip file. All the other files on the update page are available for download, but when I click on the link for the perc file, nothing happens... I'll try again later.

Thanks,

Christian

I will check that.

Anybody else experiencing similar problems?

Paul,

The MW blends are so USEFUL. It really bridges the p - f gaps nicely. Very expressive. Many thanks.

Rob

Hi Paul and mon_art,

I double-checked the Ho-per-legato gig dated 10/4/2003 using the "v3b" art file. I do not get any error messages on my system.

Could VSL test on their systems?

Also mon_art please check the date of your gig file and make sure that you are using the "v3b" art file.

Also you can just ignore the error messages and save the file with no problems.

Best,
Jay

20 HO_PERF-LEAGATO_v3b
is loading fine without any warning messages here.

The broken link for the Percussion will be fixed ASAP.

best
Herb

LOL... guess what:

" AAARRRGGGG!! I've discovered the cause of the problem. After reading cm's post, I rechecked the archive dates on my Performance Set CD's. All of them are dated October '03 except one. You guessed it -- CD#8-- the one with the horn and contrabass tuba on it!!!!! All the files on this disk have a date of July 7 '03. How a single old disk got into my package that was shipped only a few months ago is a mystery. "

Yes, i also got the same disc! (i'm not that crazy after all). Even stranger, because i upgraded to Pro Ed a few weeks ago... [8-)] Oh, irony...

So, what now? Should i send back this old disc to get a new one?


Thanks everybody,

Christian

extremly good news Herb thanks [:D]
