I purchased the original VSL SE (& plus & extended) which is now called volumes 1 & 2. The instruments and articulations are identical in both cases but perhaps reside in different directories. Will Notion 4 recognize this fact or do I have to download volumes 1 & 2 again from VSL?

Regards,
Alex

Indeed, same exact problem, am I doing something wrong?


Same for me...

Could it be that it is because the Notion 4 presets do not have the FXP extension?

Hi - I purchased, downloaded and installed Notion 4 yesterday. When I create a new score, I selecte VI Pro / Strings. Under the strings they have added VI App. Strings. I then select it. When I add notes to the score and play it, there is no sound. I opened the VI instance and noticed that all the cells are red in colour as though nothing was loaded.

Please note that I have a license for App Strings I. I can successfully load and play any sample using the VI standalone.

I downloaded the presets mentioned in a post from yesterday and copied them to my VI Custom directory. Now when I open VI standalone, those presets appear. However, when I load via Notion they do not.

Thanks

Patrick

VSL doesn't produce a separate second violin for their libraries.

Yes, but more easy for the score setup to have Orchestral Violins 1 and Orchestral Violins 2, like in Notion 3, or just one Orchestral violins...

Plus there is a fpx file for second violins but no vipreset for them. When I add the "No Specific Technique" problem for the VI Pro voices, it suggests that the test cases for this release did not have a wide enough audience or trial time. These kind of consistency flaws are troubling for a software product and are deadly to the product reputation.

Of course, it's a new release and we expect some glitches.

Yes, i hope for very serious improvements on many points for a very quick update.
