  • Possible Level1 Bassoon discrepancy?

    Hi,

    I am running the Woodwind VI with just the basic license. I note that all of the solo woodwinds have four patches in the 'SHORT + LONG NOTE' folder except the bassoon which only contains BA_Staccato and BA_Portato+Short. This corresponds with the WW patch document, but seems somewhat inconsistent.

    I note that the LEVEL1 matrix Atriculation Combi contains BA_Sus_Vib in cell 1:2, and when this cell is accessed there is no sound.

    Can someone please confirm whether I have something strange in my install, an error in the preset, or an error in the license handling.

    Thanks

    Oops. it seems that we've made a mistake with the standard/extended assignement for the bassoon.
    We have to fix this, but it will take a few days.
    In the meantime only the sustains of the perf-legato instrument are accessable (the starting notes are normal sustains).

    sorry

    Thanks Herb,

    It's not a problem in the short term, as you say the perf-legato is fine for the moment.

    Any word on this? The perf-legato works but I think it only has two velocity layers, vs. 3 or 4 for the other WW sustains. Be nice to have the other layers if possible.

    Thanks,

    Actually the bassoon is the one VI woodwind that I really don't like. I find the vibrato too fast and therefore it always sounds panic stricken, rather than expressive. If anyone has found patches with a slower vibrato, then please point me to them [:(]

    Agreed. I set up the BA_sfz_noVib in top cell and the perf-leg in the lower cell and you sure can hear when the vibrato kicks in. I was expecting to have a noVib sustain like all the other WW.

    Is this possible with a mapping fix or is the noVib sustain missing/not available?

    Thanks,
    Steven
