Thanks for the nice words.. I actually do have on going modulation controls on both expression, bow pressure and vibrato rate. I'm using a TEC BC2 and have breath controlling expression and bow pressure, wheel on vibrato depth and head tilt on vibr…

Nicely done!

Very nice... I look forward to hearing more. Now that the Violin is out, I've been thinking of doing a string quartet piece...You've inspired me... My one comment is that it seems a bit wet. It might be more stylistically correct to put it in …

Yeah.. what he said.. I've done some ethnic sounding stuff (I use the alto flute) but you're getting some nice stuff here and I'd love to see what you're doing. DanRad

I used the SampleModeling Bass Clarinet, SM Violin mixed with EastWest stuff... and some of my own proprietary tricks.
-
I figured it out and it works great. Thanks for the tip and thanks again to SM for the great instruments!

Is there a list of corresponding controller state to mute choice? For example... controller amount 25 through 30 equals straight mute (etc) Thanks

This from Emanuele- It is already possible to “invert" the incoming MIDI CC values: just set the Min value greater than the Max value in the MIDI mapping page ;-) So I will play with that. As to Giorgio's comment… he's right, but for m…

Yes. By using the controllers to control two related items, I feel I get more variation and a more realistic sound. For example, often as a singer or musician increases the depth of their vibrato, the rate may change, generally faster.. (Note to d…

Breath controller. I assign it to control the expression as well as bow pressure. I have vibrato rate and depth assigned to the wheel. With the new SWAM version, you can create a window for the range of modulation. So even though the vibrato dep…

Thanks… I've worked on my Big Band Template and have tried to spread the instruments out in an authentic Big Band set up…

It's a show called "In Their Own Words" A documentary mini series. Don't know yet when it will air.. probably end of summer.

Thanks… the SM stuff gives me so much realism… makes it a lot easier to sound good. Thanks again to the guys at SM for making my musical ideas come to life!!!! Dan

I always use breath controller.. I use (wait for it….) a DX7 with the original built in breath controller which is very elegant. Help to have such a beautiful piece to work with. d
-
Thanks… I had fun doing it, and I believe when you have fun making music, people can hear that. Every time I pick up the breath controller to use with the SM instruments, I just have so much fun and am so inspired. All my life I've played ke…

Thanks for the kind words. The SM stuff is SO inspiring, it has made my world so much richer with expressive instruments that I can finally create close to what I hear in the world of wind driven instruments. Now, if I could just get a cello and v…

Thanks for the kind words. TOP is definitely the Gold Standard when it comes to Funk, Horn sections and tightness. So even to attempt an homage solo, and do it with VIs is almost blasphemy. So kudos from a Tpt player/TOP cover band member is nice.…

The TEC BC is great, while not exactly slick in design, it works as advertised and is cheap and easy to use.. It really opens up a lot of expression for us keyboard players. Dan Rad
-
Truly excellent, both in arrangement and performance. (Also nice work on panning and judicious use of reverb.) What controller are you using? Dan Rad
-
I have nothing but the highest regard for all your work. I hope that the new platform allows us to reach even higher levels of musical expression. The bar was set quite high with the creation of the Trombone which is so much like a real trombone th…
-
You might try using all three T Bones including the valve trombone... Also panning them like a real section. You might use a lower "dynamic" for the lower parts, when you really crank up the dynamics on the SM trombone, you really get a lot of cha…
-
You mean like this??
-
I concur. The horn would be a great addition. I don't know that a tuba would warrant the herculean effort that is put into the quality instruments that come from SM. But a clarinet.... so many uses, classical, dixi, jazz, film scores... the mind b…
-
You're right... but this is for TV where there is a lot of dialogue. If I mix the T-Bone louder, the whole cue gets shoved back.. so I have to do a TV mix where solo instruments sit farther back in the track than you might do "for listening". H…

The guitar is a human.. (me) Brushes are a combo of recorded loops and overdubbed. Bass is Kontakt. Piano is one of the many (don't remember) Dan
-
Excellent! Nice control of the dynamics. DR
-
Thanks for the kind words on my Trombone demo... As you can hear, this instrument plays with (IMHO) unparalleled level of musical expression. I'm using (of all things) a DX7 keyboard with the original and quite elegant breath controller. I'm also…

I'm salivating so much, my spit valve is overflowing.

Sample Modeling is ALWAYS a special gift. I just did this commercial using your fantastic product! Dan
