NOTION Music Forum

Hi to all. New user here, Miroslav edition.

I cant find the Classical Guitar among the instruments to choose from. Is there a reason that it isnt included? I have ordered an upgrade to N3, so I guess I can fix it myself when it arrives. Yet, it would be great to have it among the other Miro instruments, even if it has no articulations.

Another issue I cant understand is that when I remove a staff in score setup, the amount of RAM used by that staff is still claimed by Notion. It would be great if it would free up that amount of RAM without closing the project.

I also want to share with the forum how I got Notion SLE running smoothly on my main computer. (ASUS AV8 w/AMD X2 4800+) I kept getting BSOD's when entering score setup and at other random occations, and they all blamed viamraid.sys. I updated my VIA 4inOne driver package with the ones from http://www.via.com.tw/ instead of the outdated drivers from http://www.asus.com/. All runs well now.

I really like the Notion environment, and I am looking forward to start composing with it, now that it runs without crashes for me.

yep agreed
lots of instruments aren't available from the menu

and it's pretty awkward to create a part with one sound and then have to go and change it to the sound that you really want

maybe just a blank instrument could be added with the vsti already loaded

I've tried loading the basic staff, but it doesn't have the plug-in loaded with it, so it still isn't possible to just open the staff vsti interface from the context menu

it would be nice to be able to save any custom instruments we make to the score setup list also
