  • Yeah, those flute lines are all over the place. BTW I always have the correct profile selected.

    I think if there was more information coming from the floor or the ceiling?. Especially when in the 'Conductor' position it would help. Then the 100% wet signal would provide more positional information.

    The weighting of the 8 (or 16) IRs relies completely on the aforementioned Directivity Profiles.
     
    In the upcoming MIR 3D you will be able to direct the players "Nose" towards the ceiling and the floor, too. You'll be able to check your theory then :-)

    If I turn a trumpet or trombone player -45° then yeah, there would be a lot of reflection off the right wall. Same could be said for a cellist. But a harpist or a violinist turned -45° would have very little influence on the amount of signal bouncing off the right wall.

    There seems to be issues with the way some of these profiles have been weighted.

    What we need is icons for specific instruments that don't point in any particular direction. Or a profile that offers a more balanced directivity. A tuba points straight up, as does a saxophone. If MIR 3D allows us to point instruments straight up or 45° down, put me down for a copy.


  • You know - MIR Pro is what it is until the overdue upgrade is ready for prime time. If you don't like the Directivity feature or its implementation, then please just use an Omni setting from the General Purpose Profile selection for your sources and on you go. It's ok to do things differently - even an electric guitar wasn't invented to be played fully distorted :-)

  • I just went through a few profiles and they all seem to be accurate except the violins and violas. Violins and violas face upwards not horizontally. So I hope this gets fixed in the future and in MIR 3D. 


  • There's nothing to fix. I'm giving away MIR's crown-jewels for free here --- these are the deltas in respect to the 0°-axis like they are implemented in MIR Pro's Directivity Profiles for Solo Violin and Solo Viola:

  • If you could tell me which of the following you assigned to the orchestral violins profile I would appreciate it.

    99a, 99b, 99c, 99d, 99e, 99f, 99g, 99x

    P.S. I just added MIR as a plugin and that is what the icon looked like. There must be a bug. 


  • If _this_ is what the MIR Icon looks like on your system, then there's indeed something broken. 8-0 ... here you see the Icon's actual shape and the functions of all its elements.

    If the problem persists please get in contact with support@vsl.co.at, including as many information about your setup as possible (OS type and version, host type and version, RAM size, CPU, any other kind of potentially influential hard- or software components).

    Re - Instrument Profile: If you're referring to the Orchestral Strings for Vienna Instruments, then there's a dedicated profile available for them (01/21), based on similar directivity measurement like the ones for the Solo Violin  shown in my previous posting (... which means that there is pronounced signal dispersion towards the ceiling). If you want to avoid any kind of directivity then please use the Omni-setting (00/99a) from the General Purpose profiles, or the Wide Cardioid (00/99b) if you want to hear at least a bit of emphasis towards the front.

    HTH,
