I use the Roli Seaboard with the SM Violin. Herer you need to match the PB correctly with the semitones. This can't be set in Kontakt, hence I use a Midi preprocessor plugin for this. Moreover I use a Midi preprocessor plugin to decently translat…

I did not yet install v1.2 Pitchbend might be an issue for me, as I use it with a Seaboard, and here the pitch bend needs to feature a very exact range, as you can reach the same point in the "keywave" by hitting another key (new note-on) …

As the library features automatic Legato detection and handling, portamento is not really viable. -Michael

IMHO, Sample Modeling instruments are intended for live playing from start up. are perfect for live playing, and in fact some of the best choice for live playing. I have bought the for exactly this reason. There are lots of videos on Youtube with l…

The instrument's Gui is rather intuitive, and the library does come with a detailed user guide. -Michael
-
Both, but not by technical means . The Seaboard sends Pitch Bend for sideways finger move and a CC, that I mapped to expression, for finger pressure. IMHO this already does sound very natural, but I still need to practice a lot. -Michael
-
GREAT ! -Michael
-
Using a Seaboard you can get any kind of Vibrato (theoretically :) ) -Michael
-
As the value of these instruments is all about creatively using expression, using them without an appropriate controller (there are much more possibilities than just a pedal) does not make much sense. Of course there are pedals that directly provide…

If the YDP-143 does not feature an input dedicated to expression peadal, this will not work. You can get a device like -> https://www.tecontrol.se/products/usb-midi-pedal-controller or -> https://beatbars.com/de/expression-to-midi.html to con…

Do you feel the lack of "aggressiveness" with solo strings, as well ? There is a new solo violin library called "Stradivari" by Native Instruments. The demo seems to feature some articulations with rather "aggressive atta…

IMHO, toggle keyswitches are abysmal. -Michael
-
In your example even the usually not synchronized vibratos of the player seem to get synchronized uring the legato phase. -Michael
-
There is a "sordino" variant of e.g. the violin, (and 6 other violin variants). There are (realtime-) controls for "Bow Noise" and "Overtones". -Michael
-
"Native Access" is provided for doing updates. Here I do see all my SM products. -Michael
-
Strings (i.e. Chelo which I do have) have been reased first by AM in SWAM technology, and later by SM as Kontakt library. Now several solo instruments are available in both kinds (including brass). But not the Saxes (any more) . -Michael
-
There once were the Sax Brother by Sample Modeling .... Less advanced technology than the new libraries, but excellent sound. -Michael
-
I have no idea about Ableton. Not doing "wild" movements of the expression CC (usually either 2 or 11) completely denies the purpose of this kind of instruments. -Michael
-
If you press play on a decently prepared midi file the message box shouid automatically vanish. -Michael

1) Your post does not provide any information based on which it would be possible to help. It just states the obvious (see manual text below). To provide a decent question you need to first read the manual (as stated). 2) I am not with SM but just a…

Read the manual :) -Michael
-
Of course I meant as well SM as AM instruments. -Michael
-
As you say that head tilt is detected, I assume you use the TEC BBCv2 (which I also use). You don't say if the head tilting affecting pitch is intentional or not. I in fact feel nodding for pitch (and head tilt for vibrato speed) more "natural&…

I don't use any of the Ensemble versions. With the solo version CC7 works just fine. If you need to control the volume (e-.g. by CC7), you can use a dedicated (e.g. VST) plugin for this. For use with Reaper I did a "JSFX" plugin for exactl…
-
In my (not very elaborated ) tests, I found the SM Cello a lot more natural sounding, but the AM Cello a lot more "playable", meaning that the finger movements on the Seaboard translate more natural to the sound. I did not yet test the SM …
-
For such a controller, the instrument needs to feature a "bowed" mode. I.e. a CC- (better high resolution CC) controller that defines the bow position and not the bow speed. I don't suppose such is provided by the SM Strings. Maybe it's n…
-
Another way would be to use midi preprocessor scripts. Using Reaper I do this all the time... -Michael
-
ReaPlugs is just a means to run Reaper specific "JSFX" plugins in other DAWs. If you don't find a Pitchbend stertching VST, you need both. ReaPlugs and my JSFX. Let me know if you want me to post the JSFX here. -Michael
-
You can / should crank up the Pitch Band sensitivity to 4/00 % in Wind Controtler mode. Additionally you need a plugin that multiplies the Pitch Band value by an appropriate factor. I did such a plugin for use with Reaper. I suppose it can be use…

Weird ! Seems you need to write to Sample Modeling support. -Michael
