Hello, I enthusiastically purchased several instruments then found Vienna Instruments Pro 2 not easy to approach
Its unique features and functions make it so different from other players and samplers I know
I am afraid not having grasped yet the whole picture of its architecture
Manual is a kind of commands summary, it’s clear for those who can already use the application, and tutorials make me sick because I cannot focus on a monitor within another monitor… while asking my self whether I’d need some lessons to learn this software or whatever..
Can someone clarify the hierarchy which holds samples, cells, slots, matrices, patches, articulations, performances, presets, and seq/patterns together into the software, please ?
Am I right considering that an instance is just the whole session that VIPro2 can manage at once?
If needs to play more instances, do I have to create a new channel into the DAW?
How can VIPro2 play more than 1 instrument into its sequencer if it replaces the previous instrument preset when try to load another one?
I see that the installation provided for further matrices which are not included in the list added when the preset is loaded
For instance, I have loaded from Instrument 36Oboe2- the first preset (01 0B2 Preset VIPRO): it added 10 matrices, but the Browser show 4 further matrices (3 runs and 1 legato-speed) available. I added a matrix and load one of those matrices. It operated a stretching while loading. Why there is something to be “stretched” if that matrix is done for that Oboe preset? And I why, after loading that matrix, no sound can be heard when playing the active keys?
I have tried with Patches from within the Browser… no load/save button… I tried to drag 1 Patch on 1 of that “mute” matrix slot: it filled all the slots on the concerned Y vertical axis….(Why? If want to modify one slot only?)
And for instance, how actually to perform executions transition (i.e. from plain sustained to fluttering) within a single note at the desired event time?
As for the the Vienna Ensemble software, on the other side, does it globally work as a kind of DAW ? Would it replace my usual DAW or can work besides?
As you can see, I almost navigate into the dark, any kind of support is really really welcome !
Best wishes, Diego
