This looks fantastic! 

I am interested to learn how this is integrated with dimension strings. I don't have dimension strings, but am considering the purchase.

How are the instruments layer out in the room with MIRx? 

Correction: what is the instrument layout. (sorry my iPad kept me from correcting the mistake). If it is more or less traditional orchestral string layout, eg. Violins mostly on the left, I will be happy :)

Thanks!

Hi Composer_Larkin,

there are screenshots available in MIRx' manual (which is a free download form your VSL User Area) showing the chosen setups:

Basically it's a Vi1 - Vla - Bassi - Celli - Vi2 setup, but you can change this within MIR Pro according to your preferences with a few mouse-clicks. 😊

Kind regards,

We are doing the final touches to MIRx' integration into MIR Pro right now. :-)

We have no plans for MIRx-settings based on The Sage Gateshead, but as a MIR Pro user, you can easily start with Konzerthaus Großer Saal and switch over to The Sage Hall One. :-)

Kind regards,

Looking forward to the updates.  Will it require the use of VE Pro or will it function totally within MIR?  Also, it will work with MIR Pro 24?

The settings and the automatic positioning in the three "MIRxed" Venues will be available for all flavours of MIR Pro, but auto-guessing of Instrument Profiles will of course have to rely on VE Pro. MIR Pro used as a plug-in has no way to communicate with an instrument that's put in one of its Venues (... MIR just receives a signal in that scenario, which could be anything). You will have to select the Instrument Profiles manually in that case.

MIRx' "Pre-EQs" are the equivalent of MIR Pro's "Character Presets" (... both rely on the much-lauded algorithms used for Vienna Suite's Master EQ, BTW). The main difference is that there's just _one_ of them in MIRx for each position in a chosen Venue, while there are 5 to 10 Venue-independent (and thus more generalized) settings for each Vienna Instrument in MIR Pro. The MIRx-settings are treated to fit to the selected position in the chosen Venue and its Room EQ settings as good as possible.

They all will be integrated into MIR Pro as dedicated MIRx-Character Presets, adding about 1.000 hand-made setups to the ones already available (another 1.000, AFAIR ... ;-P...).  The update will be available as soon as the integration of MIRx' automatisms and additional possibilities (like multiple Room EQ-busses, which are an important part of MIRx' sound) are implemented.

Kind regards,

Any news about MIR update with with MIRx positioning? Thanks

The MIRx-features for MIR Pro will be released together with the necessary updates for the upcoming Dimension Violas. From today's point-of-view this will take place in a few weeks, unless we stumble across a previously unknown show-stopping issue.

Thanks for your patience!

I think you mean "with a few mouse-clicks and several hundred Euros".

The "Stokowski layout" of Vi1 - Vi2 - Vla - Celli - Bassi has been the predominant worldwide standard since the 1930's. I appreciate that the reason for this layout was technological rather than musical, but it's what I've been used to for 50 years and anything else sounds strange.

Thank you Dietz for all your help.

A little teaser (for Those Who See The Difference .... ;-) ...)

The reddish X button ? [...] hope it won`t get in the way when moving stuff around though...

Au contraire! ;-) As soon as you move something, the little "x" will disappear, because then the Icon isn't in MIRx Mode anymore.

Hello Dietz

I was wondering if it's in the concept of MIRx to implent IR-(with EQ)-Settings for Dimension Strings Desks and Groups in the future? I'm aware of the General Purpose Profiles and the individual settings for each player (which are great), but it would be very useful having Desks/Groups specific IR-settings. Probably they would sound more homogeneous, I guess.

Are these kind of settings available in MIR Pro?

Best

Mehdi

Hi Mehdi,

Desks and Groups of Dimension Strings will be detected in MIR Pro, the MIRx Preset used will always be the one of the "All Players", though.

HTH,

Of course, I've forgotten to check the "All" settings. Thanks, Dietz [:)]
