PaulR: I just used the Logic midi edit window and mouse to change the velocities.

mathis: I used the standard legato on the Violin Ensemble - pretty simple, huh?

Thanks for all the comments! VSL is an incredible sample library and the possibilities are quite grand.

Sorry Fred, I'm still not clear on what you mean by the "standard legato on the Violin Ensemble". I've got the Pro Edition so the legato I know is to be used with the Tool. I fiddle with that and my version sounds glitchy at that tempo.
Is that what you use? Or does the Opus has a standard patch (non-Perf Tool version) called legato ?

I guess you won't post the midi file hey? [:'(]

Hi Marc,

When I have a moment from the project I'm currently working on I'll post the midi file (and get the specific name to the patches used.) Give me til the weekend.

Thanks,

Frederick

Hi there,

Very impressive. I also have Pro. I don't think this is the 'grace leg' patch in that it only 'jumps' a minor third I believe. I too am having problems getting my VLN 14 leg F patch to pulls this off. Look forward to your response.

Thanks again for sharing - great sound.

Rob

Thanks a lot Fred for posting the midi files and the details. I had come up with a semi satisfying version in the mean time but using the porta version of the legato patch makes the riff flow much smoother. I was missing that crucial ingredient. My perception was that those porta patches were designed to be used for slow lyrical passages but not anymore thanks to you! [:D]

I'd bet my life you did use EQ. Your samples sound much more present, as if the samples had more resin. In the Pro Edition there is no patch called VI-14_stac_basic, I tried a few different ones but no match. What EQ did you use? I'd suspect you used the Giga EQ since this was something you did quickly. Sorry to beat this thing to death but might as well at this stage [:O]ops:

Marc,

I could be wrong but trying using the VLN Stacc 1+2 (with the alternate tool) - it should give you the much needed up/down bowing. Let's us know how it turns out. I will try it myself later as well.

Rob

Good suggestion. It gave me an opportunity to try out the alternation tool for the first time. It adds a bit more bite but still not quite there.

Try placing the exciter included with Logic on your send bus. Use sparingly and to taste. Less is more.

VSL has great first reflections on their sound stage. I added a touch of Altiverb (keeping the dry mix at unity and dropping the wet mix to -2).

I hope this helps.

I use DP. Thanks again Fred, for sharing.

Very impressing, keep it up,
