Any ones can help to programme rules for Vienna SE Suspended Cymbal ?
...like existing «Triangle » Preset...
Or gives a recipes to programme such thing ?

Thanks in advance

Alain

Keep in mind that I know little about Vienna libraries, but I'll what I can do.

The first thing you need to do is determine what sounds you want triggered based on Notion's techniques and articulations. What do you want rules to do that's not possible with current Vienna presets? What effects, keyswitches, patches, etc need to have rules?

Feel free to reply this thread (viewtopic.php?f=24&p=14944#p14944) and we can continue the discussion, or maybe someone more familiar with Vienna will be able to step in and give you a hand.

Thanks pcartwright,

Could you start by having a look on the existing Notion « Triangle's Rules » ? for VI Pro.
...would be almost the same for the « Suspended Cymbal » !

Ah...

How could we transfer our exchange to the address you gave me ?
(viewtopic.php?f=24&p=14944#p14944)

So, feel free to do that !

Alain

I have a few ideas for this. Give me a few days and I'll see what I can come up with.

Nice,

...take time.

Hope I'll be able to understand and do something in there!

Hi Migot.

Send me a message, and I'll provide you with rules and how to use them. Please keep in mind that I made these without the ability to test them (I don't own VSL in any capacity), but I think they should do what you need them to do.
