| 08-04-08 / 10:49 PM : Strings Essentials 2 / legato : glitch and latency (cjed) |
| BestServices Strings Essentials 2 brings legato presets (simulated using a Kontakt KSP script). It is stated that a transitory sound (glitch) can happen when switching note (legato mode) depending on the note length set with CC23, and that it can be fixed by varying a bit the value. In fact the problem occurs all the time when using a 5ms latency on the G4 with Echo MIA. And setting it to 6ms solves the problem completely. |

| 08-02-08 / 06:03 PM : VSL Single Instruments : Flutes & Woodwinds (cjed) |
 VSL is expanding its single instruments samples download market. We can now buy (through download) specific instruments among these families :Flutes&Reeds, Saxophones, Horns&Tubas, Trumets&Trombones. At 60$ each (one instrument is about 500Mb to 1Gb samples), and considering there are 10 instruments on average per family, this solution has to be restricted to tests (or the full Vienna Cube price will be reached quickly). |

| 08-02-08 / 05:32 PM : Kontakt libraries install on multiple OSX (cjed) |
| When installing a Kontakt samples library (most of them are now bundled with Kontakt Player 2) from an OSX partition (for example Tiger, less resources demanding for graphics and Altivec on a G4), we would like to be able to run it also from another OSX version (for example a Leopard partition, on the same machine). However the Kontakt patch files (.nkc) that have been installed from the first system are encrypted - notably with the sytemid - so they can't be used from another system partition (Kontakt Player says encrypted patch cannot be loaded until library is registered properly). The fix is to copy all preferences files created by the initial intallation (on the first system partition) to the other OSX partition : these files are located in Library/Preferences (for example com.native-instruments.Content.plist, com.native-instruments.Ethno World 4.plist, com.native-instruments.KontaktPlayer2.plist) and also in Users/accountName/Library/Perferences (for example com.native-instruments.KontaktPlayer2.plist, Content.plist). |
