PACIFIC STRINGS in context of other instruments. Proc is included here, but no verb. Pacific Strings, Oceania II, ABP-Soloists, AWP, very pre-alpha patches from Voyage Percussion (including the tonal perc), and ensemble anvils from the upcoming PACIFIC PERCUSSION. Also used a private library solo trombone for the softer triads.

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

Vista II - Speedwrite 2 - With early lib (notes in description) - by Jasper Blunk

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)

Studying history is like being shown a horror movie where people are constantly killing each other for stupid reasons and making the same mistakes over and over and over again. A never-ending futile madness.

The bad never learn, and the good suffer knowing.
