The Cello is absolutely amazing. Playing the instrument with my Yamaha WX-5 wind controller is incredible... it's as if the WX-5 was always made to create this glorious sound and had been waiting for the geniuses at Sample Modeling to release this …

Quite frankly the Viola is stunning... just stunning. But it's not what I've waiting for since first purchasing my WX-5 a decade ago... I'm waiting for the cello! If it is up to the standard I've enjoyed with the Viola, my wait will be truly over.…

As the instruments continue to make their appearances, I continue to try to get my Gofriller cello and my MDT to create realistic cello music. The promise is excruciating, but it's just not there. Any hope on the horizon?

As a lover of the Gofriller (which I now control with an Eigenharp Alpha) and a poor soul who was never able to track down a copy of the Stradivarius, I am VERY excited about the prospect of solo strings in the not too very distant future. Thank yo…

Thanks for the great tip... I'll give it a try! Pat
-
Now, now... focus, please. Repeat after me... solo cello, solo cello... there, that's better!

What are you using to control the trombone? Keyboard? Wind controller? Both demos sound very nice! Pat
-
Nice use of the Bass Trombone! Pat

I love the ability of the WX-5 to control vibrato via its reed, but you're right that the octave keys are terrible. Pat

I've used both a WX-5 and an MDT with The Trumpet, and all I have to do is select "wind controller" from the drop down box, then start blowing. I don't know if Mr. T is quite this simple... Pat

Perry, What do you use to control your Gofriller Cello? Keyboard or wind controller? Pat

I sure like your quick aside about "new strings". I'm dying to get my hands on a usable string product!
-
You say, "after some parameter adjustments"... what parameters, and what adjustments? I frequently read posts with folks that reference the need for tweaking the instrument, but no one really every spells out the tweaks being referred to. Thanks!

I've got an Alpha on order and will share first impressions once it arrives!

I use a very simple Yamaha midi-to-USB adapter and it works just fine. Interestingly, I've tried using my MDT to drive the VL-70m and have been very disappointed with the sound that results... much more "artificial" than when using my WX-5 wind con…

Those are purely gorgeous. I love the bass clarinet instrument. Will watch for the YouTube construction video! Pat
-
AHA... so it appears that I can manipulate controllers 1, 2, and 3 while in wind controller mode... didn't know I could do that. New question, then... is there an adjustment I can make to delay the onset of vibrato until I've held the note a bi…

Hmm... to follow up. How do I access those CC functions when I have the trumpet set to "wind controller"? Am I missing where these specific functions reside? Thanks, Pat
-
Vibrato control was one reason I switched to a Yamaha WX-5 from the EWI. That and the resistance to pushing air through the horn with the EWI. I've been assured that it's possible to get used to vibrato and wind control with the EWI, but I guess I…

Frankly, I've looked everywhere for the Gofriller cello. When you say it's unavailable, you're exactly right. Make me a cello and you've got a customer for life... heck, you've already got a customer for life, just based on your trumpet! Rega…

I vote for cello as next on the list! Pat

Speaking of the Gofriller cello, I notice that it is no longer sold as a separate software instrument, but appears to be bundled into the Garritan Personal Orchestra product. Is the bundled instrument the esteemed Gofriller that was at one time the…

I played around with it a bit and answered many of my own questions... and it's actually pretty intuitive without knowing a thing about CCs (good thing!). I plugged my WX-5 into my iMac via my Yamaha UX16 Midi to USB interface, turned on the contro…
