RUNNING:WIN 7, i7, CUBASE 7.5, ENS PRO 5, INSTRUMENTS PRO 2, KONTAKT 5, RME 400, 96 GB
I know from experience that the following is probably a problem I've created, but I have come to a wall with this and write this in hopes that someone will have some idea (s) as to a way to correct the performance of many of my VSL libraries. I'm going to send this out to both forum and support in hopes someone will have some idea about what's wrong here.
First I have to advise that for whatever reason several download attempts have now failed to install the latest Ensemble Pro 5 to function in my system. I run with the earlier version. Cubase lists the newest version of Ens Pro 5 as an "unavailable parameter" whenever I attempt opening it. I sent some screen shote to VSL support about 2 months ago and Paul sent me another link to the latest EP5 download, which once again did not install in my system. So I continue with the earlier version. However the following happens whether or not I run VSL instruments through EP 5 or simply through Instruments Pro 2
My Special Ed Solo Flute, PFL, Bass Clar instruments sound as if velocity layers are sticking as I play, sound as if they're dbling notes. They sound like when a multi velocity instrument is built in Kontakt and the velocity layers are completely overlapped, causing all the velocity layers to play simultaneously.
Its like playing Ensemble instruments that have a phasing effect to their sound.
The degree of this varies from project to project.
As an example, last nite I ran a new project test and the Spec Ed. S Flt. was just fine, this morning on another new test the SE Solo Flute doubled notes from d3 to e4 and b4 to g5. This morning (once again) the entire PFL range sounds doubled.
If my memories correct, I did not have this problem until Instruments Pro 2.
I have now had this problem across two computers, from Cubase 7 to Cubase 7.5 , using a CME UF8, an MAudio ES 88 and a Novation Impulse. The Novation is what I'm currently using for fader assignments.
And currently for me, with Expression assigned to any fader ALL of my VSL instruments display this doubling up effect between 65 to approx 90 (depending upon the instrument).
Also, bringing a new VSL instrument into an existing Cubase Project creates this problem.
With Humanize on this "doubling" is most pronounced, but it is still clearly evident with Human disabled.
I have not experienced this with any other library or sampler, except, again, when I've loaded and overlapped samples in Kontakt, which is what leads me to the Velocity overlap idea.
VSL is amongst the cream of libraries but every time I go back to try again to try to use what I consider one of the strenghts of my template I run into this. But I've not seen this issue in either the VSL or VI-CONTROL forums.That's why I'm pretty sure this ones on me, but darned if I can fiqure it out.
I can't pass this off to Cubase or Keyboard issues, as there have been to many computers, reinstalls, Cubase versions and types of controllers involved now.
But the VSL libraries in my system are currently unreliable and unusable and its making me sick!
Can anyone offer some ideas what I can do to straighten this out?

I've
tried myriads of confiqurations in the "Edit"- Pre Release, Release
functions, disabled the Release samples, trying varying confiqurations with all of the
Advanced tab Start Offset etc parameters, tried with & without
verb-eq.
It happens with and without Expression or slot crossfades assigned.
Nothing I can fiqure out fixes this for me.
And in addition to and concurrent with the above, in many of the Brass Single Instruments I've bought, Trp-C, Bb Trp, Bass Trp , their is a fluffed dbling kind of effect, but with these instruments the "fluff" takes place only on the initial attacks.Again, I can not create a workable solution using any of the Edit, Advanced etc. tools available in the player.
