Here's another example, this time, not with samplemodeling, which uses the Leap Motion Controller, to vastly improve the playability. It's clear that using a controller such as the LMC, which costs only $63 (in the US), would be an incr…

Wow, this is fantastic. You've done a great job configuring the Leap Motion Controller to handle strings. Your viola playing is wonderful ! I hope SampleModeling checks this out and is sufficiently excited and impressed to do some programming t…

I loved all of your pieces and I'm especially delighted that some were played with the EWI. The Vocalise piece is superbly done. Seems to me that the latter string ensembles played with the Vienna Strings sound absolutely wonderful and quite a …

A truly wonderful tweak of the viola sound. Thanks, Dan

Dan, Your compositions and playing are incredibly good and quite amazing over such a huge variety of genres and styles. I assume that composing and performing music is your main occupation, and sounds like you love it. Are most, or a…

It's wonderful! Thanks for sharing. Dan

I believe that prior to the SWAM player, with the Kontakt player, the advice from samplemodeling was to use 88.x rather than 44.x, but with SWAM 44.x works just fine. Someone else may know better, but I think, at this point with more up to date…

Possibly if by sluggishness you mean a delay (latency problem) in responsiveness, it may be caused by your digital audio interface hardware and or driver. My experience with Windows computers is that built in sound cards often don't work all th…

Your composition is wonderful as is the playing of all the wind instruments. Sounds just like the acoustic instruments to me. Thanks !

I just got a reply from AKAI today, to my e-mail urging them to extend the wireless to include MIDI. Hello, Thank you for your interest in this new product! It's going to be Wireless 2 channel stereo audio. It will not transmit midi wi…

In the US I found a price of 125 each, you need 2 of them here: http://www.midi-store.com/CME-WIDI-X8-Wireless-Midi-Single-p-16144.html Also the midiBEAM, from Pandamidi, looks quite small (in the photos) and only costs 99 Euros (about $1…

Would it not be incredible to have an Akai EWI-8000 model with built in sounds from Samplemodeling ? I suspect that CPU power needed to create the samplemodeling sounds are currently insufficient to do the job, although storage capacity should …

I hate to agree with you but I'm sure you are correct Thanks, Dan
-
Rico your music sounds great. I've also enjoyed all of your other music on soundcloud, esp Man in the Tunnel. Dan

Michael, I'm afraid I take zero credit for the accompaniment. The arrangements were done by Jim Taylor and Mark Roberts for Hal Leonard Jazz Play-Along vol 120. You get the score and a CD with the tracks which are played twice, once with the me…

I'm afraid I haven't any useful ideas about your articulation problems. I have not had any problems of that sort, the articulations work fine with all of the instruments whether using the Kontakt or SWAM player. I do see differences with respect to …

Rabbit531, Good point about acoustic instruments. I agree and should have stated that prior to comments on virtual instruments. I'll have to listen to Jean-Luc Fillon to see what he sounds like with the Oboe and English horn. Thanks, …

MSchnell, The Pianoteq pianos and harpsichords sound fantastic. I would love to use them but I'm not much of a piano player and therefore I'm not sure how I could make use of it with any midi versions of songs that I might be able to find. …
-
A great job. It sounds just like the oldies. All you need to do is add some vinyl pops crackles and such.

I'm talking about the new Saxophones using the SWAM engine and for all of the Saxophones I found that setting Vibrato to CC2 (as suggested by my friend Kobi), produces far better vibrato than the default setting. For me this was probably the single …

Pretty good stuff, but I liked Si Muevete, and Blues I Got better. Dan

I love it. The beginning is very atmospheric and fits right a slow video movement trough the streets of the city at night. The tempo and dynamics toward the end is great as the Hunters get closer to their target. Great Job. Dan
-
It sounds really good in my opinion. What didn't they like about it? Too busy sounding for kids?
-
I enjoyed "One Day My Prince will Come" very much including the great graphics. It really swings! Dan
-
You've got some wonderful music on your soundcloud site. Did you compose all of the pieces? Some great stuff. Dan
-
If I remember correctly the SWAM saxophones do not use CC2 for vibrato by default and I had some problems getting a strong vibrato with the bite sensor of either the EWI-USB or EWI-4000s wind controller. When several friends recommended that I …
