  • How to organise the Performance Tool sets

    Hello,

    I have the Pro Edition, The Chamber Strings, Solo Strings and Saxophones 1. All of these have performance tool sets. I just installed the solo strings and noticed that automatically a folder was created with 'solo strings tool templates'. Inside that folder I find three subfolders alternation, legato and repetition. In chamber strings this 'tool templates' folder was not there, here every group of instruments has its own subfolders.
    In the pro-edition there is a seperate folder VSL Performance tool with subfolders 'legato sets' alternation sets, and repetition sets.
    The pro-edition was installed for me, so I do not know if these folders were automatically created. I find this stucture rather complicated, so I wonder if it is a good idea to put all legato PAL files together, and the same with the others. Question 2: if I do that, will I not get into trouble with Legato files and Horizon Legato files for instance?
    Question 3: is Performance Tool set and Performance Tool template the same thing?

    Greetings,

    Gerard Beljon

  • Hello Gerard,

    as always, the organization of all files is basically up to you, there´s different preferences for different users.

    Answer to question 2: It makes sense in my opinion to keep the Legato Templates for the Horizon products in a specific folder, although the Performance Tool won´t allow you to load a Horizon Legato into the normal Legato Mode (and vice versa).

    Answer to question 3: Yes.

    Hope that helps.

    Best, Paul
