What's new

Audiobro Modern Scoring Strings

Well, along those lines but not exactly so. Here's the setup:

One instrument track runs the VEPro Instrument, which is sending through MIDI ch 1, followed by 15 MIDI tracks sending through MIDI ch 2-16. Now, on the receiving end, VEPro server streaming software is running on the same computer. It receivers that MIDI, all 16 channels of MIDI and transmits it into Kontakt. It is in the VEPro Server that I am opening the Kontakt instance. But from there it is like you said; I keep up to 16 instrument patches in each Kontakt instance. I'm pretty new to using VEPro but it is the best change I've ever done! I can't understand why I have not moved into this earlier, as it allows me to run ten times bigger projects without the dreadful Low CPU Creepshow. When keeping all the Kontakt instances purged nothing is loaded into RAM until I play a note, then VEPro loads the instrument instantly by streaming and sends the resulting audio back into the DAW. If I should use the same number of Kontakt instruments just in Logic/Cubase (or whatever DAW) the computer would need more RAM than can physically fit into the machine :)

Two good things with Kontakt, for this workflow scenario, is that (1) if you load several copies of the same instrument, but with different playback settings, Kontakt will still only load one set of the samples used and (2) the possibility to do Global Purge on all Kontakt instances so no samples have to be loaded into RAM until you start playing them.
Oh ok wow! That’s crazy. Vienna ensemble pro yea? I’ve never really looked into it or anything like that yet. Probably wise down the line!
 
If you are in Logic, make sure you are using the VST3 version of Kontakt and not the AU version. The AU version doesn't allow multi outs. At least this is what I have been hearing the EW thread.

Not to derail the thread too much, but how does one differentiate/do that?

For example, see the difference between these two VST's in Kontakt? There is nowhere to choose midi channel in MSS for me.

No problem here! Logic doesn’t support VST natively, instead requiring wrappers to use VST plugins. With that said, I’m not having any issue with multi-outs using Kontakt that isn’t simply a Kontakt (or me) issue. I just finished exporting separate mic stems from MSS for a demo, and the only issues I had were with how Kontakt itself handles outputs. I really loathe Kontakt :crying:

You click on the little ”i” icon above where it’s written purge and you will see the midi in and output option
 
Cross-posting here. Worked on a demo showcasing MSS, MSB, and Genesis:


Feedback welcome!
 
Now they are super discounted (92% off or something) at AudioDeluxe, no brainers at this price IMO.
So I just went ahead and grabbed the bundle cuz that's a DEAL!

However, I've only been emailed the license and got them activated in ilok but I haven't received a serial number to download thru izotope...how am I supposed to download the actual plugins?

They're very good? How do they compare to 7th Heaven?

I don't mean to derail. Everyone's been so quiet since the update and I'm waiting to see more demos and reviews of how people feel about the updated sound!

The iLok serial number is the same as the Izotope one or at least it should be. They have a product downloader. Or you can see if there is a trial you can download. But you probably want to register with them.

Ok so I just figured out that they have individual product downloaders and do not use the Product Portal so I didn't need a serial number.

However, I just installed/downloaded all three and for some reason R2 is the only one showing up in Logic, neither Nimbus or R4 is showing up...

LOL what the fuck is happening? Is my brain turned off or something tonight?

I bought them a few years ago when they were still Exponential Audio. Izotope knows I own them, but my downloads weren't from them. Are you looking at AU or VSTs? I'm a PC, I don't really know why they aren't showing up. It is S.H.I.T. day, so maybe that's it (So Happy It's Thursday!)

I'm on a Mac so I need the AU, which should be downloading...so weird that only R2 is showing up...downloaded all 3 the exact same way...

If the expanded legato update is in the same vein as the core library update, I think you’re really going to like it. Andrew and Sebastian really nailed the legatos, and the flexibility.

That just improves the odds of me getting the Main even more

I have to wonder whether they sightly rushed the release and the update is closer to what was actually planned. At least from the outside, there's a certain level of polish and a sense of things being in their proper place when i look at the update

For reverbs I use R4 with a wide vintage hall preset tweaked a bit. Nimbus has something similar.

Will probably try the new kid on the block, Cinematic Rooms, made by Liquid Sonics who also make 7th Heaven this Black Friday.
Hey brother, you mind sharing your tweak/set up for R4? Just picked it up and it’s a daunting one! A lot to choose/mess with. I’m a master of spring reverb with my guitar, this type of reverb is another world for me tho.
