I disagree. That thread is a massive shit show spread across all Opus topics at once. It's not reasonable to expect someone to wade through the rapid pace of posts in that single thread when there's a distinct topic - the Orchestrator - to discuss.You are not serious are you??? Delete Please?
We have enough of the other post already,
this will just split us up and harder to follow.

I've been knocking around VI-Control for quite a while, almost 10 years now. I was here during the great exodus of the Mike's from Cinesamples, when Carles left because re-peat was being mean to him. I remember well the shit show that ensued when Spitfire decided to make Spitfire Symphonic Evolutions available only to those who purchased Symphonic Strings (or something like that). I witnessed the great legato battle between Paul Thomson and Patrick DeCaumette that led to Spitfire leaving VI-C for several years. And of course, how could we forget the infamous dumpster fire that was the release of Hans Zimmer Strings?You are not serious are you??? Delete Please?

LOL! But let's not forget the classic (but short lived) BBCSO Stay-Puft episode!But that Hollywood Opus thread is by far the stupidest thread I've ever read on this forum.
So if you're so anti-OPUS, why do you even post in Opus threads??? Honest question.You are not serious are you??? Delete Please?

Good question.Now, onto a question (concern?) I have:
What if a user intends to run Opus on a VEPro server that is a machine separate from their DAW? Will there be any viable MIDI export/drag-to-DAW?
Answer (sort of):
I got on a chat with EastWest support. The rep said they'll add this scenario to some tests.

I know that I won't be buying the Orchestrator now (maybe at the later 60% off EW price ), so I only briefly skimmed the video and I'm going by the parts I quoted from you.This really seems to address that - the granularity of being able to tell each section "play this part of the chord with this articulation and this many octaves up/down from the root" looks like exactly what I wish the Sonuscore engine could do (with their own samples).
Yeah I'm very curious about that too. The presets are a good starting point, but I wouldn't want to start and finish a piece with the same preset throughout. I'd like to be able to program my own transitions from one texture to the next, not to mention fine tuning the envelopes here and there.

You can make the Sonuscore Orchestra play a part of the chord with a specific articulation and offset by up to 4 octaves. Choose the instrument articulation, assign it to the arpeggiator or envelope slot where you can choose the note selection (lowest, lowest 2, middle, top 3, top 2, top). You can build some intricate patterns that way.
Just in case you haven't seen this Sonuscore engine tutorial about building a pattern from scratch:
Well that's because, as far as I can tell, it isn't really composing. It's holding chords down like an auto-accomp on a Casio. Stick a memorable melody over the top and it becomes a composition I suppose, just like a guy in a hotel lobby playing Begin the Beguine on his Tyros. It's about that level.With the caveat that I'm just a hobbyist with virtually no training and no interest in doing this for a living - I just want to make some music for my own enjoyment - this looks kinda brilliant. I have TOC2 (TOC was something I set my sights on as soon as I got interested in VIs last year; I found a used copy on VI-C, and I bought the TOC2 upgrade immediately), and as much as I love what it can do, I could never quite get the engine to do what I wanted - it always felt like I was one level removed from where I wanted to be.
This really seems to address that - the granularity of being able to tell each section "play this part of the chord with this articulation and this many octaves up/down from the root" looks like exactly what I wish the Sonuscore engine could do (with their own samples). Along similar lines, I've been playing with the Orb Producer Suite and VSL's BBO in the last few days, just seeing what is possible when taking the four Producer plugins (Chord, Melody, Bass, and Arpeggio) and essentially auditioning different ensembles/sections/articulations to find a combination that I like, but it's still more hands-off than I'd prefer.
So, Hollywood Orchestrator really appeals to me, though I can certainly understand why people with training and talent are either uninterested or a bit hostile to tools that make composition easier for people like me (I'm not coming for your job, honest!).
Eeeh I recall a pretty ridiculous thread in the spitfire score competition for westworldLOL! But let's not forget the classic (but short lived) BBCSO Stay-Puft episode!
