    Hi,

    I would like to setup the following string section scenario hosted by VE Pro 5/6:

    VSL Orchestral Strings (main library)

    VSL Chamber Strings (Used for divisi sections)

    OT Berlin Strings SFX (Vln 1, Vln 2, Vla, Celli, bass) - uses KONTAKT 6 (full version)

    Can I put all 1st Violins on channel 1 (all Vln 2 on channel 2 etc.) and switch between Orch Strings, Chamber strings, and Berlin SFX?

    or do I need to put Orch Strings on channels 1-5, Chamber strings on channels 6-10, and Berlin sfx on channels 11-15?

    My sequencer is Sibelius 2018 ultimate and I would be grateful to know the best way to set this up.

    None of the above libraries will be required to sound together. However, in the future I would like to blend VSL solo strings with orch strings as section leaders and soloists.

    Cheers

    Leif

    Hi Leif, 

    It's "only" MIDI, you can of course assign the same MIDI channel to different version of the sections. Just make sure that you are soloing/muting the right ones. 

    Best,
    Paul
