Overdrive Guitar

[Neil C]

Hi there

I am using Giga 2.54 and Perf Tool 2.11. Can the Overdrive guitar work to its full potential with these programmes? e.g I don't need Giga3 or anything else?

I really like the Overdrive demos......

Thanks v much

Neil

Hi Neil,

thanks, we had a lot of fun with these demos!

All the demos were done using GS 2.54, but it really is more comfortable to work with GS 3, as we are using the additional features, which especially makes sense with Performance Legatos (this way you can switch between different articulations with the ModWheel and you don´t have to use many MIDI channels)....

So you don´t necessarily need GS3, but it helps...

Best wishes, Paul

Thanks Paul.

Has GS3 calmed down yet? What exactly do you mean by switching articlulations on the same midi channel? I normally have eight or different violin programmes loaded (Pro Ed + Perf Set) - each with a different midi channel.....

Cheers
Neil

Hi again,

well, I thought that you had the Pro Edition also! Then it´s very clear, that you should get GS 3. GS 3.04 seems to be quite stable.
Up to now you had to use, e.g., 2 MIDI channels to get a "normal" perf-leg and, let´s say, a "perf-leg_port". With GS3, these programs are on 1 MIDI channel, and you switch between those two Performance Legatos with the ModWheel (I did that in the Promotion Video: http://www.vsl.co.at/shop/reality.asp">http://www.vsl.co.at/shop/reality.asp, very intuitive playing, especially with Strings).

AND there are sus-blend programs available, that let you play long target notes with ALL Performance Legatos. You simply switch to a long note after the transition....

and lots more.

For detailed info, simply download the GS 3 art-files you find in the user area www.vsl.co.at/user => updates => art files (GS3), you will find a mapping documentation included.

Best wishes, Paul

Now that is interesting Paul. I find myself using far too many midi channels at the moment e.g. one for perf leg and other for perf port.
Will do more research - thanks for the pointers.
