![]() I was trying to amend some of these instances when I noticed this. I already have an orchestral template (Studio One song) with Kontakt instances using Kontakt 5 of which I have the full version. If you load a preset '.nki.' from your library and open it in Kontakt Player 6, then create a sound variation for it, then you have to open all other 'nki' instruments in Kontakt Player 6 for the sound variation to be seen and opened. It seems you have to be careful that whatever version of Kontakt you use, the sound variation templates won't open in another version ie. Komplete versions after this have Kontakt version 6, and consequently I only have Kontakt Player 6 as a free version (which I needed when I bought 'Dominus' choir package). I bought my Komplete11 Ultimate packeage when Kontakt was nearing the end of Version 5. OK, after playing around with this, this is what I've found. Of course I can now start to put everything back - but its quite a hassle, and since there are already two scenarios in which this happened I am not sure this won't happen again in a different context. Opening the Sound Variations window from a midi event shows all available key switches from my VSL instrument, but the key switches in the midi event themselves (in the Sound Variations lane) are gone. Since VSL is the first to support this new type of automatic articulation integration its interesting to see it only happened on those tracks. ![]() I opened a SO5.2 project from a few days earlier and the sound variations from my VSL instruments are all gone, while those of other instruments (Spitfire for example) are still there. One other forum user commented something similar happened to him/her.Ģ) This one might be hard to reproduce, but I had to reinstall my Windows PC yesterday and reinstalled everything including SO5.2. In my cases these key switches where gone - removed as if they never existed. But I noticed 2 things that are in my opinion bugs, and I wonder if anyone else can reproduce this, or experienced similar problems.ġ) Open a SO5.1 project in SO5.2 that already has key switches defined on some (or all) of your instrument tracks. So while I can't speak to it compared to other music software, as a pencil and paper person, I'm having a great experience with it.When the SO 5.2 update became available I was very pleasantly surprised to see how key switches evolved into the new Sound Variations feature. The playback options and the consequences for the score itself are limited right now, as Amadeus mentioned, but for me that hasn't been an issue yet. I found the shortcuts easy to learn (from nothing), the note entry is quick & easy, and the newest version does realtime MIDI recording. The layout engine "knows" my intention with very little coaxing from me (if any) and the rendering is gorgeous. ![]() I understand that's where their power lies, but as a hobbyist I'm not interested in micro placement of anything I just want it to be fast to lay stuff down that's close enough to read later. I had previously settled on Notion for quick renderings because I found Sibelius and Finale way too fiddly. My preferred "medium" for composing is pencil and paper (usually at the piano) so when I use software I want it to behave like a much faster and easier version of paper. So in general I think it is a great tool to give you a first impression and I think this will be my preferred way of working in the future. Although it might not sound as good as a fully programmed mockup, and there are also some things that noteperformer doesn't perform as it should, I think the overall result is quite decent (especially when I consider the amount of work that it needs to produce a mockup in cubase). I really have to say that I enjoyed working with a notation program and noteperformer. Initially I just wanted to learn the program by sketching out a little idea I had, but that lead me to another one, and somehow I ended up combining three little themes into a short orchestral suiteĭorico is actually the first notation program I have ever worked with, so coming from more of a "midi-background" I might still be a little bit unfamiliar with all the notation details etc.Īs I wanted to write the piece as if it could be performed by live players, I'd be super grateful for any insights/tips regarding the orchestration that some of the more experienced people could give me I was really unsure about a lot of decisions I made. I wanted to share with you my first composition using Dorico + Noteperformer. ![]()
