    Hi Tomas!

    I can approve, that this is a way to avoid using the same sample for first and second violin when they play in unison.

    For anyone else interested: This can also be done with the free Vienna Instruments player.

    Are you sure Andi that we can do this with the free player?

    I don't see the semitone option...

    Hi Vincent!

    You don't need Vienna Ensemble Pro. In the free Vienna Instruments player the semitone function is called "Transp." and can be found in the Control Edit/Edit Cell menu.

     Thanks for your answers andi,  it's very appreciated.

    I see the transpose function,  but what i do next?

    ''For that you select an empty channel of the Controller mixer and in the lower square assign "pitch bend" after in the upper square assign "wheel". The fader value must be 0.''

    Can i do this with the free VE?  How do i have to use my sequencer? 

    Thank you again,

    Vincent

     Hmmm,  i tought that the technique would permit to play in unison,  on the same note...  I probably need in my sequencer

    to play the notes 2 semitones under my desired value,  right?

    Hi Vincent!

    Here is in detail what you can do with the free Vienna Instruments player to get alternative samples:
    - Go to the Perform/Map control page and assign the Pitch Wheel to Pitch.
    - Go to the Control Edit/Edit Cell menu of all cells included in your matrix and set "Transp." to 2.
    - In your sequencer set the Pitch Wheel value for the track assigned to this instrument to 0.

    Now you can enter the notes as you are used to. No further transposition is necessary.

    Hello Vincent!

    Sorry to say, that the second violin patches are not available for the Special Edition.

    Best regards,
    Andi

    Its big sad and makes me think what i need orchestral uses when i know my budjet limits... i like all size section sounds but truth is i cannot buy them all to add vsl se (mayhe extended). but i almost surely know i dont never need chamber strings this way. and makes also think me its vsl se way too pricey solution for me maybe depdens lot of things... saddly there is not middle orchestral stuff anywhere cheaps have too many limitations (EWQL=is only massive tunes,x sample chamber ensemble says what its for,and few sounds too toy etc) and not cheap stuff are very pricey. One solution for price problems is sell my music but is hard.:)

    2nd violins were created for all of our String collections (Solo S. I+II, Chamber S. I+II, Orchestral S. I and Appassionata S. I+II).

    There are no violins in Orchestral Strings II. The violins (regular and muted) are all in Orchestral Strings I.
