Thanks for the intel on NI’s mission. I had an exchange with Sebastian last month about ARC in LASS 3 and what I took from his comments is that he enjoys the benefit of some of LASS 2’s ARC that I was attempting to recreate in LASS 3. I’m still discovering how to harness the functionality of LASS 3.

Thanks for your reply. I’ll look forward to a future function but at least I’m happy to know I’m not missing something that is there. I’m appreciating the cleaner UI in LASS 3 over LASS 2.5 but of course I’m a bit bummed that there’s some functionality like this (and the ARC’s way of updating multiple divisi patches all at the same time) that isn’t part of LASS 3. I know it’s a work in progress. Thanks for a great tool/product.

in reply to: Exporting/Saving A.R.T. presets – LASS 3 #55356

Sebastian

Thanks for considering my inquiry and for the tip. So in my folder there are 5 files and after removing them and trying to put them back in one at a time, it seems like it might require at least 4 out of the 5 files in order to accurately restore the content of the saved paste. Does this seem correct? Perhaps I performed the “copy current presets” command more than once and the number of files reflects this history. Obviously they are small files so it isn’t a big deal to archive a folder of 5 files until I’ve maxed out the available preset slots. Anyway, it’s a work around for what I was asking for so thanks.

Thanks for your reply. I’m on a Mac so knowing the path for this file would be a great option to then store and swap out as needed. I could imagine getting to a point where I would just save these with my VEPro instance but as I said, that is something I’d rather avoid so I like you 3rd option. I did try the snapshot and also discovered that the copy/paste is currently buffering since I haven’t yet needed to overwrite anything into that buffer. A fixed import/export would be a great future feature but I’ll settle for the file path for now.

Thx

in reply to: LASS 3 – separate midi channels for Divisi’s? (Beyond A.R.C) #55199

Sebastian

Thanks for taking the time to calm my confusion. Seems like your work flow is similar to what I’m doing, (or trying to do with LASS 3). Now that I’m clear that I’m not missing something, functionality-wise, I’ll get my template updated and saying farewell to A.R.C.

Thx

in reply to: LASS 3 – separate midi channels for Divisi’s? (Beyond A.R.C) #55197

Hi Sebastian

Thanks for this suggestion. I’m sensing that there isn’t a way of following this setup and also somehow linking the sound/mix or reverb presets of all 3 divisi’s, the FC and full ensemble in the way that A.R.C. achieved this in LASS 2.5? I for sure see how what you’re suggesting get’s me close to my LASS 2.5 setup but not quite 100% there. In my 2.5 setup, each divisi section went to a dedicated output in Kontakt. When I played the full ensemble track, audio was routed from the multiple outputs of all the divisi’s, enabling me to balance (and/or automate) the mix of the divisi sections right from within the mixer of my DAW. With LASS 3, I see how I can match the output of each respective divisi from within the full instrument patch to the same Kontakt output as their individual divisi instrument patch counterparts. The only issue is the First Chair patch. I would need to duplicate the midi from the Full Instrument track to the 1st Chair track in order to have it playback as it seems that FC isn’t part of the full patch. Plus every time I want to audition an eq/effect, I’d potentially need to load it on the full instrument patch, as well as the 3 divisi’s and the FC in order to keep the section consistent. That’s a few more keystrokes than what A.R.C. enabled in 2.5. I’m of course not trying to cling to LASS 2.5, but just trying to determine if I’m missing something with how LASS 3 is designed to function.

I’m curious about the greyed out 4th slot in the LASS 3 mixer panel. Is there a way of adding the First Chair patch to the Full Section and control it’s output (eq/effects/etc.) from that slot? I’m guessing that 4th slot is there for possibly some future use but perhaps there is a way to load FC in there. That would be amazing and would as far as I can see, sort of come close to replicating the behavior of LASS 2.5’s A.R.C.

Thx

in reply to: Stage & Color – Aux 2-4 #52209

Sebastian

Thanks for clarifying. Wanted to be sure I wasn’t painting myself into a corner by not keeping these aux outputs available in my template.

A related question… Will I be creating problems if I route the short and long articulations from each of FC, A, B, C to the same outputs? (ie. FC long and FC short going to output 1) I get it that if I delete outputs I will be causing problems, but just want to be sure there isn’t something I’m missing by opting to keep each group routed to the same outputs.

Thanks

in reply to: LASS playback tracks lagging behind metronome #35190

This is my 1st post. Been using LASS for a year now and just recently upgraded my gear in hopes of correcting this latency issue which for me has always been a problem, (both with LASS 1.5 and 2.0) Sebastian, thanks for pointing out the 50ms factor with AA. If this was clearly stated somewhere else, I missed it. At any rate, I’ve been combing forums, (both Audiobro, Cubase and the web at large), looking for clues on how to adjust my settings so that I can record LASS string parts into Cubase 6 and not experience excessive delay to the point that I can’t interact with the metronome. I’m an accomplished pianist but I still require quantizing so I can combine parts from soft synths and hardware synths. So far, my experience has been extremely frustrating.

I’ve just finished trying to determine the appropriate adjustment for the “Track delay” feature in Cubase, depending on the buffer size setting. (did this completely by ear by matching the attack playback of the same midi data being played simultaneously by LASS and a hardware synth piano patch at 5 bpm) I’m curious to know if others are using setting like the following:

sample rate: 44.1 khz
buffer size: 256k
output latency: 6.757 ms
delay compensation: -42 ms (or -92 ms when using Auto Arranger)

Interface: Motu Traveler mk3 (using for both audio and midi)
OS: Mac OSX 10.6.8
System: Macbook Pro 2.2 Ghz i7, 16 GB ram (Otherworld Computing upgrade)
Sequencer: Cubase 6 (64 bit)
Host: Kontakt 5 (64 bit)

It strikes me as odd that there isn’t a more scientific way to adjust for this kind of latency with LASS, given its level of sophistication and price. I guess I’m curious how other users utilize the library because live performance into my sequencer has required a serious rethinking of how I work, based upon years of using strictly hardware synths. I’d love to be able to use my LASS library in live performance but it simply doesn’t seem possible.

I thought all my problems would be solved when I upgraded my audio interface from my old Roland/Edirol UA-25. It is a marked improvement in that the latency of the Motu is about have that of the Roland, however since I’d like to have more patches loaded up, I’d like to keep my buffer size at least at 256 for sequencing.

Any thoughts, advice would be much appreciated.

thanks
