in reply to: Anyone using LASS with wind/breath controller? #33264

Unfortunately Logic’s transformers don’t know velocity, but for other transformings – i.e. routing CC1 to other things – you can easily place an on/off button in your Arrange window screenset to toggle between the transformer and bypassing it.

Other than the Kontakt script itself, I think the answer to these issues is Plogue Bidule. Its Note Velocity Remapper is the first tool that would be useful, but it has a lot of things in there.

I have some other ideas about how to handle LASS with a wind/breath controller, but I want to find out whether they’re possible in Bidule before mentioning them.

Okay, I read through this.

Yeah, before the update that allowed remapping – and I think what I’m suggesting is exactly what Mr. K had in mind when he added the feature, no? – I used four tracks and dealt with the aliases. But I find having the volume faders very useful, both for divisi and also just for real-time balance changes. Example: bringing up the first chair during fast runs to add definition.

What Jay is doing lets you use keyswitches, but I still prefer not having four tracks for one line. In other libraries that rely on more articulations it might be different.

I haven’t read this thread all the way through yet, but one thing jumped out re: Sebastian’s first reply (and Sebastian if you email me I’ll hook you up – NB at Virtual Instruments Mag dot com): I’m not re-routing cc11, I’m using it to control all the sections simultaneously. All I’m doing is using cc 12-15 as individual volume controls for each section.

And Jay, don’t make me come down there now…

in reply to: LASS banks for all sections #31583

In Logic I create a multi-instrument and connects to an instance of VE Pro. This instance of VE pro will be my string-section. Each instrument in the VE pro will be a Kontakt instrument containing all articulations (I need) from a specific string section. Meaning I want all first violin articulations to be loaded in the same Kontakt instrument, all articulations using the same midi channel and the control which articulation will be playing by key switches.

Nordkrog, that’s not working in VE Pro quite yet. You have to use one VE Pro instance per 16-channel bank for now so that you can use Plug-in MIDI instead of IAC or ipMIDI.

They’re working on it, though.
