in reply to: String Quartet Setup (SOLVED) #52940

We don’t have a pre-set ARC setup for this, but if you use the divisi KeySwitches you’ll find that the First Chairs are loaded onto Slot A of the keyswitcher. You can simply remove all the instruments on tracks 17+ and then use the rest of the multi’s setup if desired.

But past that would require you to set it up from scratch to meet your specific needs. If you have a specific question about how to achieve a specific setup we’ll be happy to help.

Sebastian

in reply to: LASS patches sounding different on PC and Mac #52735

How odd. Glad it’s working. Let me know if it happens again. Maybe something got funky in VEP?

It sounds like one may have a dynamic value set and the other doesn’t.

Try moving the MOD wheel (CC1) and I think the sound should be more familiar.

Glad it showed up!

in reply to: LASS 2.5 – Problem with the display in Kontakt #52690

That’s very odd then.

Ok, another thought. The ARC picture assets live off of the user documents folder (which is relative to the user who is logged in). Is it possible that the plugin was installed via a different user account? If so, you’d need to duplicate the ARC picture folder for that account as well.

The path is: DocumentsNative InstrumentsKontakt 5picturesARC *(this whole folder)

You can try copying the ARC folder into the same place under any other user accounts to see if that helps.

Otherwise – the only other issue I saw once was a user with OneDrive configured in a non-standard way (again, moving the documents folder to an irregular place).

You might want to check the Cubase version vs Standalone version… sometimes the plugin doesn’t get updated so the versions don’t match.

My guess is that you have Kontakt 5 in one place and Kontakt 6 in another.

If you look back in the Download Center you’ll see an install for both. You probably just need to run whichever one you did not last time.

in reply to: LASS FC in Notion 6 #52635

I don’t believe there is a template for LASS First Chair. The templates are created by PreSonus though… so you might want to ask them. We’re certainly open to a First Chair and Lite template if they want to create them.

in reply to: Purchase and change email #52629

Hi there,

Sorry for any confusion. Looking at your account:

1. The email already looks up to date in our system (but you may also want to verify with PayPal if you use a PayPal account)

2. But I don’t see any LADD order from you in the last 5 days. Maybe it didn’t process? Feel free to shoot us an email [email protected] if you need further help!

Regards,
Sebastian

in reply to: New Computer or fast SSD #52571

You might be able to add more RAM to the model – but Apple may not do it. Sometimes if you find an authorized repair center they will do it. I believe it’s complicated due to the all-in-one nature of the iMac.

In any case – if you do want to go the route of a second system you have to think about a few more things besides the system itself… mainly, how to communicate between the two devices. There are really two ways:

1. Software Solution (and what I’d recommend): VE Pro (https://www.vsl.co.at/en/Vienna_Ensemble_PRO/Product_Info) – works over your local network with a Gigabit Switch

2. Hardware solution: separate MIDI and audio interfaces connected to each other… gets a lot more costly in most cases.

In terms of the system itself it would really depend a lot on whether you want to stick with an all Mac setup or not.

Sebastian

in reply to: New Computer or fast SSD #52568

The hard drive is definitely the weakest link in the chain from the sound of it. It’s a little hard to believe Apple would still ship a 5400RPM drive in 2017, but that does seem to be the case.

That said, the 2017 iMacs have a bunch of expansion ports – USB3 and Thunderbolt if I remember correctly (but you should verify). So if you put a fast external SSD on a fast port it should be a dramatic increase in sample read performance.

8GB of RAM is on the low side for 2018… but there are ways to manage this through track freezing and bouncing. That said, (again going from fuzzy memory) I believe it is possible to add RAM to your iMac… though you may need to find an authorized service center on that model.

But I do think the slow drive is very likely the source of the sluggishness unless you are running out of RAM.

Sebastian

in reply to: Do I Own Latest Version? #52456

Hi strytten,

2.5 Is the latest (looks like you are up to date). When the next version of LASS launches it will be very noticeable.

Hi Noga,

Sorry for the issue you are experiencing.

Can you tell me exactly what you are loading? Is it a multi?

in reply to: Articulation Switching via Midi CC values NOT Midi Notes #52427

ARC does support Patch Change messages in addition to MIDI notes for articulation switching. But at this time we don’t support other MIDI CC messages for this purpose. This could be accomplished with a custom MIDI multiscript as well.

When LASS gets its next big update the articulation switching will natively support MIDI CCs.

in reply to: Reverb with Lass Lite #52416

Hi Robert,

You can definitely play the multis dry and then add reverb in your DAW (or even in Kontakt) if desired. For that multi you mentioned the reverb is routed using the Kontakt aux tracks. To turn off the reverbs you can do this on the instruments (click the image below to expand):

in reply to: Some questions on Auto Arranger #52406

You can definitely use Auto Arranger across multiple tracks… just make sure they are all in record mode simultaneously (either with multi-selected record buttons, a MIDI track routed to multiple other tracks, or a folder track).

There currently isn’t any way to automatically separate the MIDI. For Auto Arranger to work it has to see all the incoming MIDI (even when in separate tracks) so that each instrument knows the full context of your playing. If you want to separate the MIDI you would need to do that manually, and then turn off Auto Arranger. Logic has shortcuts for selecting the highest/lowest notes in a region that can help quickly do the separation.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Sebastian

in reply to: Some questions on velocity #52408

On the legatos the velocity control of the attacks will only apply when starting a new phrase (that is, not when in the middle of a legato phrase). You don’t have to simultaneously worry about which transition you are going to get.

The velocity you use to start a new line will affect the sharpness of the attack (which is subtle) – but the dynamic can play a much larger role in this. Softer dynamics will feel more feathered-in, and conversely, the highest dynamics will feel like more of an instant-attack.

Is the sticking out happening in the middle of a legato line? If so – that’s a different topic. If controlling the dynamic doesn’t help there are some other tricks (like using the portamento transitions but sped up using CC83).

Sebastian

You’re right that we don’t have a patch-by-patch walkthrough for LADD, but we have a ton of videos here: https://audiobro.com/ladd-videos/

in reply to: New libraries on the horizon? #52386

Thanks for the kinds words about the graphic design… it was a ton of work for us (and the artists)!

New libraries have already been in the works for a while – and the next one is a big one. Beyond that I can’t say much more yet.

in reply to: LASS in MIR Pro #52381

In my somewhat limited MIR experience either method should work just fine. I do like the powerpanner they offer personally in terms of customization (since it’s easy to listen to and adjust).

In regards to the micing, with LASS you’re already hearing a combination of mics, so there isn’t going to be a “best” in terms of MIR – outside of what you like the sound of and what’s appropriate for the production.

But again, I haven’t spent a huge amount of time in MIR – so maybe some who have will give you more specific suggestions.

Regards,
Sebastian
