  • the sounds of the instruments are good, but there is no dynamic, no spacial feeling. But that's normal when you do a rough mix, and when the notes come from an ordinary MIDI file. Also this MIDI file doesn't have the right rhythm, a couple of notes …
  • I agree, this is a good idea for 2016 and later. I guess certain tablets would have enough resources to run one SWAM instrument.
  • for the first time I also have this problem with the missing .nicnt file. The library cannot be loaded. My Kontakt version is 5.4.3.307. Another thing: I am not sure what Trombone version I have. It may be possible that it is still a beta …
  • with my EWI I find it gives good results with the use of the tongue. I interrupt the air flow quickly with the tip of the tongue while at the same time enhance the effect with air pressure (breath). As I play Samplemodeling instruments only wit…
  • well there's nothing more to add from my side. I also hope Akai adds wireless MIDI. I use my EWI4000s for Samplemodeling instruments only, since years.
  • well it's quite interesting. Vibrato and pitch bend, and volume (expression). Thanks for sharing.
  • I'm about to create a Lemur template/interface for Samplemodeling instruments in Lemur, and maybe also in TouchOSC if there is enough demand. So if you already use TouchOSC for these instruments, I wanted to ask for what specific task you use i…

  • did you load the windcontroller preset? This preset should be loaded before playing notes.

  • looks indeed like a good idea. Not too cheap, though. Thanks for posting.
  • there is no right or wrong, just personal preferences. It's good that there is more than just one way to do it. As mentioned in the first post, airflow variation sounds like a vibrato, but it is still open to the discussion if it is a real vibr…
  • thank you very much for the answer. Both my problems can be resolved this way. Will do that when I get the occasion (I'm on the road in the next weeks).
  • another thought which crossed my mind: I will need to install a faster CPU on my computer in the music room (not the one in my home studio), because there is an analogue synth emulation called Diva which is very demanding in processor power. Ca…

  • audio interfaces are cheap nowadays, although 50 pound is at the lowest limit. Probably Behringer or M-Audio.
  • I'm guessing it's a Windows laptop. If so, you can try asio4all with your internal sound card. If the CPU can handle it (dual core 2.5 GHz should suffice), you don't necessarily need an external sound card to run the tenor sax. Maybe you need a MIDI…

  • just wanted to say that the clarinets were well received by the musicians during the sessions last month. The sax player even grabbed my EWI4000 occasionally and enjoyed playing with it. A complete non-technical person I might add, but the sound and…
  • yes I must also say they are very well done. You can use the clarinets in so many ways. And Microtuning is an important new feature.
  • did you try with Kontakt 5?
  • deinstall on the old machine, and install and register on the new one. I usually install all of the software, and register after. That way I can do the registering process for all NI software/libraries in one go.
  • aparnell wrote: Am I right in thinking I need to de-register on the old Mac first? no. I asked the same question to NI support, and they told me that we should delete the old version. You will need a new response file to unlock the software on …
  • very pleased to hear about clarinet instrument development, and possibly flutes. Exactly those that I want.
  • I would try to record without Quick Control. CC11 straight into the MIDI track. Maybe this helps?
  • as a not very skillfull EWI (4000s) player I find that breath variation is the best way for vibrato. It comes naturally and sounds quite realistic. The only disadvantage is that long vibratos aren't easy (for me they're impossible, and I simply play…
  • I recommend to bounce/freeze the tracks. Or maybe try a different host, audio card, etc.
  • update 1.03: - legato now correctly working with all Wind Controllers and in the presence of "zero gap", non-overlapping notes. - improved, velocity-dependent attack behavior on pp - minor changes in the User manual Fixed: - "-12 …
  • to create sections I usually record for each voice several MIDI tracks live with a wind-controller. The already recorded tracks are muted, so I only hear what I'm currently recording. So it's not exactly overdubbing. Having created this variety…
  • in theory everything is there with Samplemodeling instruments. But as you know, one person cannot replace a band of trained musicians. I find the results from overdubbing manually played tracks very good, it gives some kind of brass section fee…
  • these are two fantastic sounding instruments. Many thanks to the developer team.
