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.

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

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'.

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.

Thanks.. I should have noticed that! Even more pleased! Am using this on a job straight away.

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'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.

Daryl - come on bro - tell us how you did the second one!!!!!!!!

I couldn't leave my computer this evening without expressing my most earnest gratitude to VSL for these sounds.

The legato "tune-li" is a component of string sampling that has never been done. Used in proper measure, it imparts a realism to full-bore forte violin lines such as I have never heard.

What a gift to watch VSL evolve. Each new release gains measurably in realism and ease of use. From your First Edition to this present achievement, one may palpably hear VSL growing, learning, and determinedly pursuing the finest samples on the planet.

Hey guys I'm confused by this thread. Are these available for download now? I can't find them and I own PRO Edition and VI.

Thanks
Tom

Hi Tom...

Go to USER AREA / VIENNA INSTRUMENTS / BONUS FILES / "Login"/ ......et voila.......

Download all the files into one folder and then run the library installer in your app folder on your computer...

Note.....If you are using a MAC it seems you can only get away with downloading 4 .cab files at a time generally..... other wise errors ensue....

Hope you like the new files....

PaulM

So these new Strings only work with the New VI Interface? Or do they also work with the performance tool.

The former only I'm afraid........But I just invested in the VI's and I am blown away by not only their ease of use but also the sound quality.....


Put 'em on your Christmas list!!! (you only need to buy the Orch Stgs 1 and own Pro Edition to qualify)

I found any more than 4 DL's concurrently on my MAC and I would get strange MB counts (ie 25MB for a cab file that should be over 120MB)

"Slowly does it" seems to be the way.

Good luck

tom, you need to have registered either strings or performance set pro edition and ViennaInstruments orch. strings I extended. if you qualify for the download (pro edition already registered) and do not have the extended library for S1 yet an upgrade from S1 standard would be 35 EUR

Well, I think that it was pretty obvious that the second one was AV Perf leg. In case anyone cares, the first one was done using a mixture of 14Vln Perf leg, Chamber Vln (vibrato) and Solo violin Perf leg.

I like the sound, and they will come in very handy for some things. Obviously there are a few articulations that are not available, but I can think of workarounds for most of them, so I'm very happy. Shame that I've already started the current piece without them.... [:(]
