    This tool has set me on edge! As soon as I saw the video of this, I thought "this is the scary future right now." The Synful stuff was a clever programming concept, but not useable at least to me because of the basic sounds that were being programmed. But this - it is the greatest sounds available on the planet, and now being handled by artificial musical intelligence that works. Wow! Congratulations to the VSL for this achievement, as well as all the others. I am in a state of combined exhiliration, inspiration, and terror for my bank account.

    I remember not agreeing to much with William [[;)]] but I certainly agree about his last post. So many time consuming things are already configured for you, it is really a time saver.

    Bill, do you remember the long conversation we had about automation? And the potential it held for writing more than programming? And the limitations that might be experienced?

    Funny how things turn out.


    Regards,

    Alex.

    memories of ugly synful discussions have come back to me. I've gotta agree with William that this is exactly what we discussed to the last detail. This is such a leap forward for VSL and its timing is perfect.

    I just wanna hear me some string demos!!

    Universal mode is in fact the attention grabber. Maybe we can talk about here a bit because it's the feature I've been thinking about as well:

    It needs a ton of RAM to hold all those articulations correct? Obviously you would use the RAM optimizer (or whatever it's called) at some point and get rid of the excess. In terms of workflow though what's the way to go? Play all the parts throughout the orchestra with just a single patch on each instrument and then one at a time use universal mode with each instrument, get the track right, freeze it and move on?

    Or will we all want to have G5's everywhere loaded up with universal mode VI's?

    What will be the most efficient yet practical way to go?

    That's what I call a working business plan and creating a product that is needed and wanted. [:)]

    Really very well, done, Herb & companions.

    I'd reeaaally like to know this too. Universal mode would be my bread and butter. But if I could only load up 10 universal patches in Logic on my G5, I'd be pretty bummed out.

    AND.. I assume that you can use the same patches on different midi channels without having to rename the patch.. like you have to do with the exs 24? Forgive me if this is an obvious, but I'd like someone to actually confirm this. [:D]
