  • confused about the samples on the demo CD

    Please could someone explain to me the difference between the demos of the instruments listed as created using the Orchestral Cube, and created using the Performance Set.
    It would appear that they sound to be the exact same excerpts under each section, even though the strings and woodwinds are listed as having more layers.
    Are the demos for the instruments under the performance set created solely from instrument samples that come with the performance set, or do they contain instruments from the cube?

    Thanks
    Russ

  • Sorry for the confusion,

    many demos were made before we bundled our releases.
    In our upcoming demos we will documentate this better.

    A little guide: if you hear legato playing or repetitons in the demos, you can be quite sure, that this stuff is out of our perfromance set.

    cheers

    Herb, thankyou for your response,
    I think I understand now,
    in a nutshell, does this mean that the demos currently posted online for the strings, and woodwinds contain passages of play created by the performance set, and that demos currently posted for the performance set contain elements generated by the instruments in the orchestral cube (or in strings or woodwinds). I need to understand because i am working to a tight home budget and i can only afford to buy the orchestral cube, or the performance set.
    Thankyou

  • Yes, in the meantime it is inconceivable for me to play a legatoline without using our legato tool.

    But on the other hand, in the blue danube demo (orchester version) only the celli and the horns are performance legati, all other instruments are programmed with normal multisamples. (Orchestral Cube)
