Kevin Kliesch sent us his version of Stravinskys "Dance of the firebird".
A very complex piece of music, but Kevin was able to programm it, only using two gigastudio setups.
A detailed description you will find below.
congratulations and thanks a lot Kevin.

Programming notes by Kevin Kliesch:
In particular, I used the performance
set for all of the winds (legato mode). The brass was also the
performance set, in repetition mode. The string pizzicati and staccatos
were in alternation mode.
What's interesting about the legato mode on the winds is that I didn't
need to load in the trill samples. I just played the trill manually.
I used two gigastudio 160's on the piece. I had 1 gig of RAM in one and
768 mb in the other. I definitely pushed the memory to the maximum! The
first machine was loaded up to 94% of capacity, and the other had 88%
loaded in. Boy, those legato modes take a lot of RAM!
Even with all of this going at once, the machines didn't choke much. At
the end of the piece when the two glissandos happen back to back, the
clarinets in particular seemed to get stuck by not having a note-off
sent to them. I tend to think that this was a MIDI problem, though, and
not a VSL problem. There was just so much data being thrown down the
cable, I can understand why they choked.
Anyway, enjoy the piece, and congratulations once again on an amazing
piece of work. Can't wait for the pro edition!
