I wanted to start a new Opus thread that hopefully doesn't get as negative as the main thread.
For this thread I wanted to focus on potential uses for the New Opus player.
I finally got to see the announcement and I'm more excited that ever for the new release. Seems like the trend for the player is to make it more of a musical instrument and less of a sample holder.
I'm also interested in the Orchestrator. I'm usually not a fan of this kind of stuff but I don't know why not. When it comes to synths I rather enjoy pattern sequencing, combination patches ect... So why not with orchestral samples? I think I could get into now. Many times I set up a pattern in a sequencer then output the midi to the channel, record it and tweak it further.
Wondering on what your thoughts are for Players in general that allow you other ways to create with the instrument besides the traditional midi input method? I'm going to start experimenting with ways of making music away from a keyboard more.
Thinking through things mainly because HO is my main sample library. But, in the past it was deadly important that I sequence every note to be transcribed for real players but in truth it may be time to rethink that. I never really get to see real players any more so it's become more common for the samples to be the end of it. That being said I'm finding for me it's okay if every note isn't attached to a single instrument.
