    You explained some things a bit better than their official walkthrough. I was probably going to get it anyway, but YOU officially sold me. I think most of us who are in the market for something like this have really wanted a phrase library with this kind of granular control and you delved into it very well.

    • @jefgibbons

      Yeah, duplicated the whole thing, and solo’d one and then the other... they need an option to disable instead of just soloing, to decrease the RAM usage...

    Thank you very much Jef! The way you explain things really shows your difference. Anytime I see a video explained by yourself, I trustfully enter and I think I'm surely going to understand it. And ofc this makes you my first choice if I want to search something. Meantime I would like to ask you a question. Before, you were using led monitors but lastly I see that you have made a Led Tv on your wall. Can you please share your thoughts with us? I have this idea since a very long time but does it work well? Which is the model and did you connect it using HDMI port? As an orchestrator, I mostly work with Notation softwares and with Cubase and do you think it makes a huge difference than monitors? Best regards,

  • @melivillemodeltrains2749

    Great video. You did very well in explaining it. You mentioned that if you are using Komplete Control, you can use the keyboard keys to switch the phrases. I am using a Novation MIDI keyboard and I can play the phrases with it but I can't change the phrases using the keyboard. It seems that the pink keys designated to select the phrases are outside the reach of my keyboard. I tried to change the octaves on my keyboard, but that did not work. Is there a way to make it work with my Novation Keyboard? Mine is a 46 keys. Thanks.

    Hi, Jef and thanks for all your excellent tutorials, I have a question, did you experience any problems when you dragged and dropped the midi files from AS 2 like it did not play exactly the same in the daw/track as it does in AS 2, did you adjust the quantizing in some way or the pitch before or after you dragged the content from AS 2, by the way I have this same problem in Sonokinetic's Maximo when dragging and dropping midis hope you understand this?

    This is great Jeff. Thank you for the video walkthrough. The only feature I wish that was there was fixing the key of the melody so that you can jam on any note and it'll intelligently assign notes within key. That would make using the melody mode even easier right? Can you still play Major/Minor variations for the melodic patterns using velocity? That would sort of work.

    • @jefgibbons
      @jefgibbons  3 роки тому +1

      Now that would be smart! If you had a run you could start on any note but still have the run confine to the key you are in... like starting a run on an A in the key of D... But would mean a crazy amount more of samples... but I can see that coming!

    • @5ammy13
      @5ammy13 3 роки тому

    Funny to use then Audio Imperia at the end to replace Action Strings (with a better sound). So, what did you win then? A new type of micro DAW? I also wonder how does it know the scale? I guess, it does not and you must edit the notes along the scale manualy. Looks like a nice toy but can also be done with AI and a DAW - other opinions?

    What are your thoughts on the quality of the string samples? I know they touted in their video that they made all new recordings. I'm not expecting them to be on par with some of the higher quality libraries, but hopefully they are a significant improvement on the first version.

      I have bought it and I think the sound is excellent. Not only compared to Action Strings 1, but imho also compared to other high quality libs like Spitfire or Afflatus Strings. With the mic positions + spot mic, it is also very flexible, so I was pleasantly surprised :)

I know you can export the midi, but just being able to do everything in the one instance is going to be such a timesaver, especially since the whole instrument is going be a timesaver.

      thats the kind of thinking that will keep you dark. everything we record has been inspired by something already created. its only cheating if you dont have fun. im sure someone picked up a guitar one day and thought "no matter what string I play, it stays in tune.. I feel like im cheating" ha ha.. come on man. make good tunes. you can get in and dirty this thing up in so many ways. split things, butcher things, bend and twist things. pound it out and make beautiful things. create a piece and then just use the deep reverb as a pad. just do something. we live in amazing times. rejoice
