Hollywood orchestra opus edition and hollywood orchestrator

[racerx]

I rarely use Logic instruments - when I dragged the Orchestrator MIDI into Logic, Logic created all those tracks with the instruments, not me

But yes, the instruments used by Orchestrator are labeled in the regions, which is good

So, basically, the MIDI drag and drop is just a way to get the MIDI data into Logic so that it can be used with other libraries

correct

Wow... I'll best sounded great!

OK... just tried it for the first time in Logic... same thing... lots of strange instruments from the the Logic Library. It takes a while to with to the correct HO instruments, and even worse... you have to delete all of the effects that were on each of the Logic instruments!

What would happen if I delete the entire Logic Library, since I never use it any more.

Ohhhh that might be a good idea - the only time I use the Logic Library is to get an idea down quickly anyway

wow!

works perfectly in Studio One

i used the EW Installation Center - flawless!

Q. Do you usually use multiple OPUS instruments per Instance of the OPUS Player (each assigned to a different midi channel), or do you tend to just use one OPUS player for each Instrument ?

In my vepro template I'm just using 5 instances of opus..One per section pretty much..when I was figuring it out opus seemed fairly temperamental sometimes, but it seems a good bit more stable now..

Thanks. That's a nice way to set it up.

I wonder how much RAM each empty instance of OPUS consumes ? and if one Purges the Instruments, there will be very low RAM footprint.

Excited to give it a try in VEP.

Hats off to EW for getting this update out so quickly!

Purge works exceptionally well..

 

[muziksculp]

Yes, it does. I tested Purge, and it is amazing how much more efficient RAM is used.

And it works without any audio issue. Streaming from Disc in OPUS is superb.

A tip too if ye're setting it up..make sure to have mono solo legato or whatever turned on and have cc22 on a fader..

What does turning ON Mono Solo Legato do ? and what does CC22 control ?

Sorry, didn't check this part of the user's manual yet.

Mono solo legato(?..is that what it's called?..) turns on the proper recorded legato..so turn it on..cc22 then enables/disables it..so have it turned on, and you can then turn it on or off with cc22..

That's cool. What are the actual sample sounds that are attached to each track? The ones named with the proper articulation? That is done automatically with the MIDI export?

no instruments assigned - just MIDI tracks.

i would still need to manually add VIs to the tracks.

not sure automatic VI assignment is possible in S1.

But at least the tracks are named per the Orchestrator layout - which seemed to be an issue in Logic from a previous post.

OK. I will refer to the user's manual to learn more about this.

There is also a Legato button, I wonder what's the difference.

 

[cqd]

The legato button is simulated..mono true legato is recorded..have that enabled and use cc22 to turn it on or off..that's how it works..

I'm assuming that the Mono-True Legato will work on Legato Patches.

Any idea if East West has improved the Trombones in HOOPUS compared to Hollywood Orch. PLAY version, Diamond ?

Where does one find this option?
In "Play mode" I see "Legato On" under Midi control and it is assigned to 68

EDIT: Never mind, found it - doesn't appear for certain string articulations, but when I switched to brass and woodwinds it showed up - all good!

They recorded a new set of "two trombones" patches.
