Once again you are right. The demo almost always sounds so much better than when I use the software. Possibly limitations of how I configure the parameters and / or my playing skills.

To MSchnell After more experience I have to agree with you. It's not that great, however I think I found something much better which I will discuss in a separate thread. Thanks !

I don't think you should have any problems with Expression = CC11, and Vibrato Depth = CC2 This is what I use for EWIs and Aerophones, and I think I even tried it with my WX-5. I just wanted to test it to make sure it worked well before offering for…

Terrific Rich sound. I'm surprised how full it sounds just from Trombone and Tuba. Samplemodeling has given us all amazing tools to play with, or Just Play!

Wow, fantastic orchestration! A real delight to listen to this ! Thanks, Dan

Another comment about various windcontrollers. Playing the same virtual instrument without any changes except for volume settings I often get somewhat different sound. This probably has to do with things like Expression Curve differences with each m…

I have now had lots of time to play with the SM Strings and they are superb. I have played Violin etc. with EWI-USB, EWI-4000s, EWI Solo, as well as Aerophone AE-10 and AE-30. The strings play fine with all of these windcontrollers. There is no ques…

The only issue with the British version of the EWI-Solo was that the USB charger had a non US AC adapter, which I do not consider a major problem because you can recharge the batteries with USB connection to a computer or one of the many standard US…

I recently purchased the EWI Solo and as I was comparing it with my EWI-4000s which a week later broke down. After some testing I had to conclude that the electronics was no longer functioning properly, so the EWI-Solo came at the right time. Anyone…

To MSchnell, Perhaps you are correct, however, none of my prior harmonica or accordion instruments sounds as good as this. Therefore I'm quite happy with it for a lot of Jazz , as well as for some Piazzolla songs. It should be especially great for B…

Your Hollywood sound is tons better than the before version. Thanks for sharing. Check out my Harmonica link in Windcontroller section in case you need that instrument. Dan

https://vanilla.samplemodeling.com/discussion/comment/45630#Comment_45630 Please let us know how it works. It's quite a bit more pricey than the Aerophone 10. Fortunately I have no problems at all with the capacitive touch keys on the EWI's, and i…

I just upgraded to v 1.2 following the instructions, but had to download the full sample package because for some reason I was missing all of the ensemble samples from the 1.1 version. However, the Native Installer Application never showed any chan…

Correction I could not see the link after I copied it and all during the time I wrote the rest of the comments. It shows up fine once I published it. At the end of the link there is the letter "h" which does not belong, but I clicked on …

The Strings have a great sound, but they require a very different playing approach than wind and brass sounds exactly for the reasons others have discussed. I'm working on getting the best sounds I can with the EWi and it is slow going.

Any chance of bringing back all of the prior posts ? There were some really useful discussion there.

When I post a link, it appears in pale yellow, while I'm composing the text and it only appears really visible after it is posted.

At some point there was a mention of a future MIDI standard upgrade that would break the limit on dynamic range. Hopefully your Strings technology will be ready to rapidly conform to a new industry wide MIDI standard. Like, everyone else I look…

Sounds great. I am eagerly awaiting all this new stuff ! Thanks, Dan

Dear Michael, I'm sorry to hear that the specific Main Volume CC2 assignment which fixes the issue for Strings, doesn't clear up things to your satisfaction. Of course everyone who uses Samplemodeling Virtual Instruments (SmVI) as well as…
-
Dear Lele, As I reported assigning Main Volume to CC2 fixes the problem of starting and ending a note very close to silence for Strings, so I'm very happy. So many Thanks for solving that problem so fast. I was hoping to find a similar par…

In addition to e-mailing a link to this thread to TEC, I also requested/suggested some improvements to their TEC BC Control Software: "The TEC control Software window is too small, so you provide the TAB "slider". It's frustrating to not be ab…
-
Dear Michael & Lele, I'm indebted to your replies to my posts and I'm delighted to report that my Crescendo/Diminuendo Problem with the TEC BC2 is solved for the Strings by setting: 1- Main Volume to CC2 (found on the SWAM Main MIDI Se…
-
Michael, Thanks for your fast reply which immediately confirmed that my experience is not unique, due in some mysterious way to my setup. I'm amazed no one else has brought up this matter. On the other hand, too many musicians, pay far too…

Got some more information from Ra'id Marji in response to my inquiry about Geco. The Geco MIDI program to configure Leap Motion Controller can be purchased from Leapmotion store. Could not find it from the main web page, only via Google search,…

Michael, Thanks for the very useful comments. I'm delighted to hear that you are using the newer TEC BC2 (Breath, Bite, & Tilt) to control that many parameters. I've been considering buying the TEC BC, and wasn't aware until a day two…
-
Yes it is excellent, and it is also inspiring. I may actually start dusting off my keyboard to add to playing my EWI. Thanks for the post, Dan PS Here is another excellent video, which is more of an introduction. The Most Real…

I'm happy to see that another wind controller is available, but I will wait to hear from serious players to see how well it compares to the EWI instruments. Some of the sounds introduced with the 2.0 version, such as the harmonica sound pretty…
-
Frokka, Thanks for the link. I'm eager to try it out and will report back on my experience. Dan
-
I think so and primarily because a lot of people have reported serious problems with the EWI-USB software that is supposed to let you configure the parameters. Akai has been notified by many people of problems with their software and they have done…
