NOTION Music Forum

Hi, I have got the following problem. When I choose a preset of an instrument (e.g. the violins) in Notion4, everything works, exept the dynamics. When I add a dim or cresc, neither the velocity x-fade nor die expression moves in the vienna instruments plugin. Either vel.x-fade and expression are assigned to "control change" and the controller "expression". When turning off the vel.x-fade, I can assign different dynamics to certain notes via "velocity overdub". But I also need to have a dynamic-change during one note, of course. Does anyone know that problem or at least a solution to it? Thanks a lot... Jan

Hi, JanKlie:

I'm using Notion 4 on Win 7.

I have had this problem in two cases:
1. The VSL presets are not loaded into your \Users\Public\Documents\VSL Custom Data. Download these from Downloads/Other on the Notion website, unzip the file and load the correct presets for your version of VI (I use VI PRO) to the VSL Custom Data directory and rescan the existing presets.
2. An obsolete copy of the presets was in my Notion 4 folder.

Once you update your presets and remove old copies, then make a fresh project to test the dynamics.

Hope this helps...

Thanks a lot. I needed to install the latest Vienna Instruments Player. Now it works perfectly... happy happy

Hey,
Looks like someone out there seems to have a handle on this issue. Right now I have a brand new laptop with nothing but Notion 4 and the VSL SE 1 loaded onto it. I have the latest version of the VSL Instruments and ensemble but am still having an issue with not getting any of the volume dynamics to play. Not only that but the default volume is Quadruple Forte. I downloaded the correct presets for my Version in the VSL Custom Data directory but I am not sure what you mean by "rescan the existing presets."

Thanks,
Spencer
