Hi guys.

I was going to do a write up on all this, but I think if you just watch this video it will explain things a lot better.

This is not a sample library this is modeling technology and therefore is a million times more expressive.

Bear in mind now that you DO NOT need a Breath Controller. It will work off the Wheels / joystick of your keyboard, or Expression Pedal, but to get the most you do need to use a breath controller.

Download the demo version and see for yourself.

Regards
James.

PS.. the Voilin I posted in that other thread is of East Wests PLAY engine.

WiVi instruments are the ultimate proof that samples are slowly but surely getting obsolete. Gone are the days when 500GB hard disk and 2GB of RAM wasn't sufficient for running a full symphonic orchestra. Well, that's not entirely true yet, but it is true for brass and woodwinds. The rest of the instruments are still waiting to be released. ATM, I have the full WiVi brass and the flutes from the woodwinds.

WIVI will be developing their own String sections based on the same Technology, but there is an alternative right now called Synful which is also based entirely on Modeling Technology.

Synful also does Brass but I don't think their modeling technology is as good as WIVI.

Personally, I'd be more interested in WIVI.

More Modelling Technology.

Pianoteq.
This puppy is hyper realistic and offers insane control over the piano and mic placments. It also emulates Rhodes, Bells and more... http://www.pianoteq.com

And one more, this one is called Brass and it's by arturia. http://www.arturia.com/evolution/en/products/brass/intro.html

Pianoteq is really good news. You can start with the player version,at a very nice price, and add on and upgrade as the need arises. What worries me is the technical side of things. I have never used a keyboard with a PC, and expect trouble. I have a keyboard that can be connected to a PC, but what I would like is to permanently install the sounds on the keyboard, or use an external harddisk or pendrive. I am absolutely ignorant on these matters, so a little info would be appreciated.

Should have checked things a bit before asking stupid questions. Seems you need an audio interface box between the PC and the keyboard. That should make things easier to manage.

Hi Casaet
To understand the basics of Midi, there is an excellent article here http://www.tweakheadz.com/how_to_get_started_with_midi.html

To assist in choosing a suitable audio card/interface for your computer, have a look at this article here http://www.tweakheadz.com/audio_interfaces_1.htm

If you wish to load your virtual instruments/samples directly onto your keyboard, then you will need one that has the computer built in, and currently only 3 are available that I am aware of.

1. Open Labs Neko
2. Lionstracs Groove/Media station
3. Wersi OAS instruments (OAS 3 -7)

All options have their Pros and Cons, so you will need to find which suits you best.

Hope this helps

Bill
