in reply to: How to do monophonic legato with Lass 3 lite? #55684

Hello,

Thanks for upgrading. To get back to mono legato all you need to do is turn off “Auto Divisi” in the Ensemble Tab (or use CC30).

You may need to reset the ADC as described in #4 here: https://www.audiobro.com/adc-troubleshooting/

That said, we want to make sure you get your library up and running. If ADC is not working for you after reset send us an email ([email protected]) and we’ll make sure you get up and running in an alternative way.

Sorry you’re still having a problem. I’m not sure why LASS 3 is not completing for you, but I’ve reset it again. Our general tips:

Please take the following precautions:

• Please disable any ANTI VIRUS software that may be operating on your computer

• Please disable computer power-saving modes (you don’t want your computer to go to sleep after 15 minutes). Also make sure your drives are not set to go to sleep or hibernate.

• Wireless Ethernet is not as reliable as CAT5 or CAT6 cabled Ethernet.

• Make sure you turn off fire walls and security apps that may interfere with downloading.

• Make sure you have a good connection.

• Make sure you have enough room on your disk.

• If you are having issues, try installing it on an internal drive and then copying the folder to your Samples drive. Sometimes there are permission issues with certain drives.

If you still run into any issues with downloads pausing or getting hun up:

1) Press Pause (not Stop) on the ADC and then choose Resume and see if it picks up again. Be patient. Give it a minute.

If #1 doesn’t work then try #2

2) Press Pause (not Stop) on the ADC. Quit the ADC, then Restart the ADC and resume.

Hope that will help get you a successful download.

For what it’s worth, we are in the process of completely rewriting our downloader to avoid some of these issues in the future. Should be available later this year.

Regards,

Sebastian

Hey @agodzillau,

I just took a look at the download logs and it doesn’t appear that you ever ran a full install of LASS 3 to completion. If you’re batch resaving against old samples I would caution you against that as it will make updates and upgrades trickier in the future.

The best thing to do is reinstall the full LASS 3 Library in its own folder. And then add the new LASS 3 serial to Native Access and point to your new folder.

Let us know if you have any trouble after that.

Regards,

Sebastian

in reply to: LASS 2.5 in Kontakt 6 GUI Missing #54949

Yes, you should do a Full install of LASS 3… it shouldn’t co-mingle with previous library folders.

Is this for the instruments, or for ARC?

in reply to: LASS 3 – separate midi channels for Divisi’s? (Beyond A.R.C) #55201

Hello Alain,

What you’ve noted is correct. However, if you never use Auto Divisi there may be a simpler way for you. Load all the splits on unique MIDI channels. Load the FC also on a separate MIDI channel. Then in your DAW you can address them individually. If you’d like to address them all simultaneously you can record enable all 4 tracks or have a group track that plays all 4 at once.

There’s nothing wrong with loading the master patch as well of course.

Quote:

I guess there’s no way to have the Master divisi patches respond to different midi channels, am I right?

If you mean to the individual divisi sections within the master patch, no.

Quote:

Here’s a further question: Lass Kontakt instances are playing in VEpro7 from a slave computer here (main computer Cubase or Nuendo). Should Look Ahead feature work in such a setup?

Yes, LookAhead should work with VE Pro similarly to how it works when loaded directly in the sequencer.

Hope that helps!

Regards,

Sebastian

in reply to: How to trigger LASS 3 legato sordino with DAW integration #55505

You’re almost there. The list in Kontakt is displaying “Host Automation” but what you need is “MIDI Automation.”

Make that switch and I think you’ll be working.

[Sebastian K]

in reply to: How to trigger LASS 3 legato sordino with DAW integration #55503

If you’re using the DAW integrations all you should have to do is trigger the third articulation (Sordino). Unless you explicitly turn off legato it should be on.

If you do want to control Legato power directly you can learn your own MIDI CC to the Legato power button (right-click and learn, or you can drag-drop from Kontakts Automation view) and then send that same CC as part of your map.

Hope that makes sense! Let us know if you have any other questions.

Sebastian

in reply to: LASS 3 sound is far/small than 2.5 #55420

Hello,

The volume of Violins 1B should be nearly identical in LASS 2/3. They are the same samples and were programmed to be as close as possible.

One thing to look at:

LASS 2 loaded at full dynamics (so the loudest)

LASS 3 loads at medium dynamics.

But if you make the dynamics equal (MOD wheel at 127) they are virtually identical. If you want to push LASS 3 overall volume more you can just turn up the master volume.

Hopefully that helps!

Regards,

Sebastian

in reply to: Exporting/Saving A.R.T. presets – LASS 3 #55357

Hey Andy,

You’ll want all 5 files (one contains your preset names so will probably work without – but you’d lose the names (which will be a pain). They’re tiny as you noted, so you can just grab that whole folder, move it somewhere, and give it a name (or whatever makes sense for your workflow). Not a perfect solution, but workable anyway.

[Sebastian K]

in reply to: Exporting/Saving A.R.T. presets – LASS 3 #55355

Hey Andy:

/Users/[YourUsername]/Library/Application Support/LA Scoring Strings 3/Data/

You can use backups of that Data folder as a way to transfer buffers around (whatever is in there will be “pasted”). It even works between libraries that support it (LASS, MSS, MSB).

We’ll consider building out save/load in the future.

[Sebastian K]

in reply to: Exporting/Saving A.R.T. presets – LASS 3 #55353

There are a few options:

1. The Copy/Paste might be the best way to go (depending on what you want to do). This can copy/paste between patches (and will also survive loading of new patches). So you can think of it as a buffer that you can always get back to if you want. Any time you do another “Copy” it does reset the buffer – but those saved presets will sit happily on your disk.

If you want to get a little trickier, I can also show you were this buffer is (a set of files) and you could pretty much swap them out for custom loads if you wanted to. I’d just need to know if you are on Mac or PC.

2. If you don’t mind saving the whole patch state, you could also use the built in Kontakt Snapshot System. The bid downside is that it won’t transfer between different patches.

If a more robust save/load is something that would be useful we could certainly consider adding it. There are some complications (as there always are)… but it would be doable in theory.

Regards,

Sebastian

Hey Patrick,

That’s correct… all the LASS libraries are just a single mic mix.

in reply to: Using Ensemble builder for whole string section #55300

Hi Andy,

It might be easier if you sent me an example multi to look at ([email protected]) so I can see what you’re doing. But based on the description it sounds to me like you’d want to use the main patches (not the splits) and the “per voice” mode. Past that, you may want to go into the advanced editor and change the voice rules around. But it’s hard to say without seeing an examples.

If you’re talking about adding all the sections (vln+vla+bass) together for a full ensemble that is not currently possible, but we should be adding a nice ensemble instrument in the next version which will likely prove very useful (it is split into Ensemble A/B/C and can use Auto Divisi).

Definitely send me an example if I’ve completely misunderstood!

Regards,

Sebastian

Thanks… we’ll get that fixed in the next update. (Just a cosmetic thing — doesn’t affect anything else)

in reply to: LASS 3 – separate midi channels for Divisi’s? (Beyond A.R.C) #55198

Hey Andy,

You’re absolutely correct that the ARC workflow you mention is not 100% reproducible with version 3. ARC could be a real pain, but it was useful for the batch changes especially.
So it does require a few more clicks if you want to keep split divisi and an Auto Divisi-ready ensemble going at the same time (and synced in terms of effects). It’s unlikely that we will integrate the FC instruments directly inside the main (combined) instruments for a variety of reasons.

Like you, I like having the splits and FC on separate tracks in addition to the main Auto Divisi patch available on its own track. I tend to use Auto Divisi as a sketching and improvising tool, but not as much a production tool (unless just laying in a string pad or effect — or something else simple). So I tend not to worry about integrating it with the splits+FC too carefully. For more intricate writing I find the splits and overlap legato are the way I like to go… and that can mean just multi-recording on all of them for a monophonic line, or splitting out into discrete lines for variety or polyphony. Also like you, I find the discrete outputs super useful for balance and treatment outside of Kontakt.

So all that said, we definitely understand your feedback on this workflow and will take it into consideration. My guess is that once you have a setup you like with LASS 3 you probably will be happy to say adieu to ARC, but definitely let us know.

Regards,
Sebastian

in reply to: LASS 3 – separate midi channels for Divisi’s? (Beyond A.R.C) #55196

Hello amilne,

It sounds like the split patches may be useful to you. The master patches contain all the divisi sections simultaneously (and all artics) — but if you want to be able to address each Divisi and FC on their own MIDI tracks, you can use the instruments in the /Splits/ folder. These each contain just one divisi section each. Since they contain all articulations you only need a single instrument each.

Now, for a “Full Section” on another MIDI channel there are sort of two options:

1. A track that routes to the splits combined
2. An additional track containing the patch with all the Divisi sections (this would also let you have auto divisi going for that track with regular mono legato on the splits).

Hopefully that will get you in the ballpark. The setup is not identical to LASS with ARC, but it’s really close (and should be a lot easier to manage).

Hope that helps!

Regards,
Sebastian

in reply to: Lass 3 – Articulation Section #55170

Thanks very much!

[Sebastian K]

in reply to: Lass 3 – Articulation Section #55168

Hey blitz,

First, welcome to the forums! The LASS Cellos never had recorded trills… that’s why the tile is completely missing. IN the UI we only show you the available articulations for each instrument.

Otherwise, you can generally use Key Switches to change between the available articulations in realtime.

Hope that makes sense! Let us know where else things are confusing and we’d be happy to help.

Regards,
Sebastian
