Will that also work for K3.5 users?
I’m not very keen on upgrading right now to K4
in reply to: Dynamic Range Script? #32279Exciting times ahead!
in reply to: Parallel fifths and weird portamento #32172Are you playing the divisi together on that staccato, and if so, are all your tracks set at the same transposition?
I don’t mean to question your Sonar skills but if you have -say- changed the transposition in your MIDI tracks of some of the divisi , you would end up playing harmonies where you wouldn’t expect them.
I’ve played the staccato and spiccato quite a lot, and i haven’t run into your issue, so i would think it’s due something in Sonar?
If you’re only playing one staccato patch (as opposed to several divisi staccato patches), then this is definitely a weird case.
in reply to: Anyone willing to share their LASS EQ settings? #32151I’m still exploring the vastness LASS out of the box with different kind of reverbs. I’d love to hear about EQ though. I’m sure it will make quite a difference, but i haven’t made it to that stage yet.
in reply to: SLAM Patches for the Violins? #30768What are SLAM patches?
in reply to: Is everyone ‘narrowing’ the patches in their DAW #31881Rob,
It’s my impression that tripit just adds one instance on the final mix (as part of a brainWorx mastering compressor), but of course i might have misinterpreted that. It would be interesting to learn about tripit’s workflow in that regard.

I haven’t tried it yet, but i certainly will after tripit’s great info. Thanks man!I load the LASS IR’s in Logic’s Space Designer (because the Kontakt Reverb isn’t so good) and send my VSL tracks through those LASS impulses. It all blends very well that way. I think the LASS IR’s are very good. I usually use the longer impulses because the woodwinds and brass are at the back, hence need longer reverb times.
in reply to: Logic auto-quantize #31867Thank you Andrew.
in reply to: LASS banks for all sections #31575i’d say the C “sweetening” is there because the double number of instruments are playing together, compared to the A and B divisi?

I still don’t understand how this would work; if you play a note too late how can it place the note (sound-wise) earlier?
I would say it can’t (unlike with notes played too early). But having those notes quantized would already be great. And maybe the audio latency would allow for notes too late, to be put in time, since MIDI latency is practically non-existant?
Maybe on-the-fly auto-quantize doesn’t exist, although i would like to think it does.
Andrew,
What i’m thinking is that i’m trying to do these silent passages and diminuendo’s with regular patches, where they would probably be muted. Does that make sense? And if so, would you say the upcoming sordinos will allow to play ‘quieter’, so that i don’t have to play under 20 on the CC1 ?
My point is also that this is actually an exercise for me in trying to master the relative levels in a symphonic orchestra, hence don’t fear to break out the sweet “rosin and character” of the lower levels.
Thanks.
Willem
I pull the Mod wheel back to avoid the swell and that does the trick for me. The unfortunate bit here imo is that the swell affects the loopability of the samples. The worst situation where this can happen is when i gradually fade the strings towards silence (diminuendo), and suddenly there’s a slight crescendo when the loop is reset. That sounds very ugly. If there would be a fix for this, that would be lovely, cause now i have to tediously micro-edit the CC11 (because CC1 is already to low to use as counterbalance) to counter the effect, and that doesn’t sound natural at all.

Logic can not read your mind, so they will sound as played;
This is exactly the problem. I want the notes to be quantized on input, because when i play fast A.R.T. patterns, the sound is totally chaotic, due to my inability to play the piano well. If it can’t be done the way i’d like, i can only see one other way and that is to input the notes manually in the Piano Roll, which is tedious, or maybe use an arpeggiator for simple patterns.
I had the impression though that other software can do the auto-quantize on input. For instance, it was my impression that Andrew mentioned this could be done in Nuendo and in the A.R.T. demo video it looks as if the notes are quantized on input, unless Andrew has some kind of super-ability to play in time. Anyway, A.R.T. doesn’t sound that way when i’m playing.
Question, thanks for taking the time to answer. For now, your experience proves that it isn’t as simple as it should be in Logic. I’ll try to find out if it is really impossible to do at all.
in reply to: Xtra bonus patches #30312I’d preorder anytime.
in reply to: Vienna Ensemble Pro and hanging LASS notes #31498I only use AU and i have it too with Kontakt.
in reply to: Vienna Ensemble Pro and hanging LASS notes #31494I have 10GB installed. Yet only a few MB are free, which i think might have to do with the problem. Further, i have instances loaded for 10 LASS tracks with Instrument Banks and say 10 other Kontakt instruments, wherein i load 3-5 patches (legato, staccato, spiccato, sometimes tremolo and sustain) generally. No other apps running, only Logic.
Why do i think that this has to do with the memory management?
I see that my mac after startup and after loading my Logic template only uses too much, the full 10GB where it used to be around 7GB in total, of which KMS uses around 5GB (depending on how much patches loaded). Also when i close a song and load up another song, the memory isn’t wholly flushed. This isn’t right and so my mac is eventually burdened with considerably inactive memory and -like i said earlier- the used “wired” memory -i suspect- also displays more than necessary for the samples i load (for instance KMS shows 4.66, and used memory is 6.72, which is more than 2GB for system and app resources? I don’t think so).So, my conclusion is that Kontakt’s memory management needs improvement. Of course, since KMS is only introduced in the latest version, i don’t mind too much. But i hope K4 will bring better memory management.
Anyway, i don’t mind too much at this point. Although i often have hanging notes when i tell Logic to stop, i don’t seem to hear -i hope- hanging notes while playing back the song.
Another hint that K3.5 has flaws, has struck me when recording one of NI’s own pianos. (Only while recording, not when playing the piano back. That goes flawlessly) Without anything else recorded, so also no heavy LASS instruments or anything else playing back, my Samsung hd is brought to its knees by the piano and can’t keep up. Thank god this is never the case with LASS (which is on the same hd). I can arm record all the divisi (A,B,C legato) of all 4, and play chords like it’s nothing. I won’t even begin to imagine how much more samples are playing then, compared to playing the measly Akoustik piano, yet the latter fails me every time.
in reply to: Vienna Ensemble Pro and hanging LASS notes #31492I don’t use VE, but i also have hanging notes in K3.5 within Logic. I hope K4 will see a fix for all bugs.
in reply to: A naive chord-splitter/auto-divisi #30512Thank you!
If you could point out some good Kontakt scripting references, i’d love to know where to find some.
