Vista II - 12 Violins - Legato Early Version MP Dynamic (unpolished)

HIGHLIGHT: 6 CELLOS LEGATO MF-F

Track by Jasper Blunk. All patches from Vista 2 (brass and harp is bonus in the library). External verb used but nothing else on the master - all patches are extremely early. Brass isn't tuned yet. In this particular track the legato patch used is just one dynamic so it doesn't show the dynamic range yet (just volume on mod-wheel), however up to 12+. dynamics have been recorded for legatos so far. The challenge was to try to write a quick piece in a brief period of time with just Vista 2. Most mics are decca but close mixed in, in some cases (like cello legatos).  - JB

Red Leaves — Homay Schmitz

HIGHLIGHT: 6 CELLOS LEGATO (~P/"soft")

Patch is extremely early with zero take selection for this dynamic. Sustains are not finalized either (sustain grafts, etc). With the softer dynamics, the intervals begin to get somewhat less "intentional" at this dynamic and below (as you can perhaps contrast with the louder dynamic example posted previously). The "piano" dynamic is rather subjective, but that's my rough estimate here. 

The movement you hear in the sustains is to a degree representative of what will be in the final library, but will be somewhat masked as well by other dynamics playing at the same time and certain finalization protocols that have yet to be completed. Some slower playing so you can see how the movement affects the intervals fading back into the sustains (admittedly, at this extraordinarily early stage).

In this particular example the legato patch used is just one dynamic so it doesn't show the dynamic range yet (just volume on mod-wheel), however up to 12+. dynamics have been recorded for legatos so far (10 for cellos). In the current mapping this is dynamic 5 out of 10, meaning 4 dynamics below this one and 5 above. External verb used. Close + Decca mics.  - JB

Vista II - 6 Cellos Legato (~P/soft) (details in description)

HIGHLIGHT: 5 BASSES PIZZ (LOWEST OCTAVE), 6 CELLOS SHORTS (ONE OF THE LIBRARY'S VARIATIONS), 12 VIOLINS SHORTS (ONE OF THE LIBRARY'S VARIATIONS), PIANO STACCATOS, R&D SOLO VIOLIN SHORTS (DETAILS BELOW)

Improv straight into the DAW so please excuse the messy playing. Patch is extremely early with zero take selection or timing (relying on natural timing of the players which is, as you can tell, going to end up with uneven pre-ambience which is super delicate.... i.e. not optimal for showing early examples of). Close + Decca for the string shorts - the ens. close mics have a little bit of high pass on them. External verb used but no further processing. Cello and violin ranges don't stack/interact with this example. 

Also lightly layered are some R&D (research and development) solo violin shorts done in that room which are in plans to extrapolate to dedicated solo shorts in the library - some of the new content that is in the books to be added. - JB
