    Is it normal the detaché sound ? I specially like the strong vibrato patch ... sounds good to use with the "old" violins.

    I have an idea for a demo, I'll try it

    i don't own pro edition... i'm for the vi cube ... buying pro edition would be kind of a step backward for double the price... just for the special strings thats in no relation. so i can all but kindly hope that vienna descides to release them as a fair pay version to all non pro edition owners.

    I've been playing around with Apassionata today, Herb has delivered for me, its a much better 'movie' string sound. I really appreciate this. It will stop me mixing in SI patches for my romantic /epic cues. Its a great bonus! The only major bummer is there is no leg-portamento. Jumping back to VI 14 leg port in the matrix doesn't work great for me. I also would love 'apassionata cellos'.

    I would rather have Zigane portamento for both 14Vln and 20Vln, as this is much more useable. However, there is nothing to stop you mixing a little portamento in with 20 Vln, as it is quite rare for a section to play the same portamento en masse.

    One mapping info might be useful:
    for all performance legato patches you can switch between normal and portamento using the A/B switch option.
    The same for the staccatos, using A/B to switch between tight and sloppy variations.

    I agree - I've been combining a little portamento Vlns in with the Appassionatas' - sounded pretty convincing when whacked thru the altiverb.....

    Nice!

    Well it depends what he wants. [[:)]]

    Anyway, I would love to hear a demo from you when you get one done [H]

    Btw, I changed the midi for better legato in my orginal excert as well. Also added the slow tuning a few places.

    Braveheart


    Well, this second tweaking sound pretty convincing to me...there seems also to be a slight detuning in the 3/4 (in the descending patterns before the conclusion), which adds a lot of realism...is this the patch or a happy incident? [[:)]]

    HHAAAHAHAHAHAHAH pulled your chain....sorry!

    But the point I was trying to make was that when you put these great samples in a great space like altiverb or gigapulse - they do come even more alive...

    I will use the correct syntax on subsequent posts.....

    my apologies for misuse of the Queens English.........me cockney sparra'

    In VI Installer, at cab 3: "Cannot read installation package (file is corrupted?)" I tried about four times on two different disks. It hung at the same place.

    I'll DL cab 3 again from VSL and see what happens.

    The cabs seemed to download fine. I DL'ed them all at once. On a cable modem it took about two hours.

    Do check that they are all the correct size. I had to DL four of them more than once as they kept on coming out 20MB short.

    I had the same thing...I just DL'd the cab that was throwing up an error - and then no problem

    Just to repeat what Herb has said. The Appasionate Legato HAVE portamento. You just use the A/B switch, like when swapping from Crecendo to Decrecendo. So whenever you have Legato loaded you also have the portamento loaded.

    Hi All,

    I have also been playing with Appassionata today, and love it!
    I'm missing one thing, though:

    None of the Appassionata Matrices have any descriptions in the GUI - RAM, content etc. Not a biggy, but an inconsistency nevertheless...

    a well earned rest is in order (as soon as VI pt2 is shipped...)

    Hi All,

    I have also been playing with Appassionata today, and love it!
    I'm missing two things, though:

    1) Portamento - can't see it in the matrix or patch assign. List of Legato is as follows:

    10 Perf Interval
    01 VI-20_perf-legato
    02 VI-20_perf-legato_4vel
    03 VI-20_perf-legato_Vib-progr
    04 VI-20_perf-legato_Vib-strong
    05 VI-20_perf-legato_sfz
    06 VI-20_perf-legato_tune
    07 VI-20_perf-legato_tune-Ii
    06 VI-20_perf-legato_sul-G
    11 Perf Interval Fast
    01 VI-20_perf-legato_fa
    02 VI-20_perf-spiccato_fa
    03 VI-20_perf-harsh_fa

    I can see 02 VI-20_perf-rep_por in 13 Perf Repetitions, but no other 'por'.
    anything I've missed?

    2) None of the Appassionata Matrices have any descriptions in the GUI - RAM, content etc. Not a biggy, but an inconsistency nevertheless...

    Thanks PaulM. Yes, I re-downloaded cab 3 to get it working. That got me as far as cab 6. DL'ed that and got past it in Installer. Now 7 is corrupted. Re-downloading that currently.

    I'm wondering if concurrent downloads might have contributed to corrupted files. But I doubt that anyone could say for sure. And I see others did it successfully.

    As others I downloaded cab3 trice, and cab4 and another I cant remember twice.
