    Hi,

    Maybe a stupid question but is it possible to control the extent of vibrato with a CC controller for the dimension string library? 

    Best regards,

    Frieda

    yes,

    VI use the slots crossfade feature to acheive this.

    Load any Small Set L2 or Large Set L2 presets and you will see some ready to use Vib X-fade cells.

    These are SusX, pLeX and pPoX.

    The Vibrato control (Slot X-Fade) is set to CC#20 by default.

    Everything is configurable but these matrix are great time savers.

    Hello,

    Naive questions, but- Does this change the vibrato during the note, or is it just to go from one cell to an other, note after note?

    - Does this also exist in Chamber Strings?

    Thanks in advance!

    You can make this a crossfade so that it happens in real time while the note is being held.  I don't have VI open but from memory I believe there's a circular button between the two cells that you can click to turn it into a crossfade.

    You can crossfade from one cell to the next during the note, yes. I would caution about considering this 'control of vibrato', you're crossfading from one 'patch' to another, ideally with a different vibrato in that patch. Actual 'control of vibrato' will come from some form of synthesis and be artificial; at least I know of nothing that actually does something to the recorded vibrato of the performer.

    Hi guys,

    Thanks for your answers. Yes, in the meantime I discovered cells A and B, with crossFadeX

    Quite convincing with chamber strings from no vibrato to vibrato, IMHO
