Acoustic Samples

That's odd... 2.6.11 should really not make a difference... But if it works, that's cool About the new version, we did not advertise it as it's still some kind of a test version to help some users on the Gearslutz forum, it looks like it works, but we're waiting for more testing to make it official. I'm sure you don't want to get notified everytime there is a very small fix that does not affect most systems, but only important ones.

Yep All you need is to allow the B-5 to receive all MIDI CCs, otherwise mapping is just not possible and by default Mainstage does not allow it.

I just tested it, and in the Assignment & Mappings page, when going over any of the "channel 1" element, i was able to select MIDI thru -> Axiom 49 and then all MIDI CC values were sent to the plugin and i was able to map everything, including the buttons using the MIDI panel of the B-5.

Don't use the MIDI learn with the right click on a button, just use the MIDI panel and set the MIDI ccs there and it will all work fine, just find the element you want to map, then select it in the list, hit the midi learn button and move your CC (you can also set the value manually if you know it). I'll check mainstage (i have it) but never tried the MIDI assignments in it.

It will not fix anything regarding the mapping, but you might not be mapping it correctly. Given the variety of Organ controllers, we have created a pretty complicated MIDI mapping system, so it's better to use it. I don't know how Mainstage works, but i'm sure it lets MIDI CC through, so as long as the B-5 receives the CCs, you can use the MIDI panel and skip the Mainstage stuff.

As Mighty Ferguson pointed out, this is a simulation of the key contacts. On a real organ, the quicker you press a key, the quicker all contacts are made (there are 9 under each key). But if you play very softly, you can actually get all frequencies to play one by one as each contact is made. We modeled that with velocity, so it's not entirely correct as velocity does not equal speed of key struck, but it's a good approximation.

I just created a quick mp3 of one note first normal then following the sequence: C1 V2 C2 V3 C3 and V1, then the same exact thing with a chord. Vibrato test

Btw, for the people asking about Falcon's compatibility, UVI just released the 1.3 today and the B-5 V2 now works in it

Each model has its own scanner vibrato, and it sounds authentic for sure because it's sampled, so it's the real thing And no, sorry, there is no demo for it, just like for every sample based instrument products on the market.

No you really can't Maybe try "ce truc c'est de la balle!" (literally "this thing is the ball")

The difference is very subtle (you need to listen to it using headphones and with the saturation and reverb to hear it), but it's there. In high quality mode, this basically increases the order of the equation responsible for the reflections inside the Leslie. This makes the Leslie sound a little wider and makes the sound a bit more immersive.

If you hear that light tremolo effect, then you are talking about the B-5 Version 1 The version 2 is completely different, especially the Leslie.

I really don't think it will be possible, we worked together and they decided to use their own IRs, so it really was a choice. That being said, i only mentioned the IRs, but that's not all that was changed from their version, we tweaked it for hours to make it sound like our 122, and i'm afraid how we tweaked it has to stay a secret Oh and yeah, i agree, i like the 122A the most, it's actually our 122 model and the one that was used in the comparison video.

Thanks! I'm glad you like it! About the Leslie, no, sorry, you can't use it out of the B-5 instrument. That being said, the B-5 Leslie is based on UVI's Rotary: https://www.uvi.net/rotary.html There are just a few differences, the biggest one is the impulse responses are ours on the B-5 and they used different ones in the plugin.

@Doug It's fixed, was a dumb mistake This fix also contains a minor mapping issue with the Mojo Leslie break.

Thanks i'm glad you like it Regarding the key click, that's odd... i just tried it here and it works just fine... Anybody else is having this issue?

The C2D will work perfectly and is 100% compatible, the demos were made with it (just select the nord C1/C2 mapping). There is just one thing that's too bad with it, it only outputs velocity 100, no matter how you press the keys. And i'm afraid the key click depends a lot on the input velocity...

The presets that Jim and Steve made are the "general presets", those that include all settings, not just the drawbars. To see them, just open the presets panel and look for the dropdown menu to the right.

Btw, i believe Jim has an XK, as he thanked me for the mapping.

Don't worry Jim and Steve, all of your presets are in there! Thanks again for these btw And yes, we just sent the newsletter that explains you need the latest version of UVI Workstation. And about the XK series, the support is limited to the drawbars and a few other things, most MIDI messages for the XK are sent using non registered MIDI parameters that are for now not supported in UVI. We will update that when it's available, but for the time being, all manuals and the drawbars are a pretty good start (especially given the weird MIDI data they send...)

Just a quick message to tell you that the B-5 (along with all of our other instruments) is on sale ... Just in case some of you were interested but were still hesitating

Just sent you an email Markay, the solution for people that have problems with the 1.2 is to simply load it from scratch, there have been too many changes and when you reload a session, it confuses the script.

Ok thanks for the detailed info, i actually did all this... but i received a reply this time, so hopefully i'll get notifications now About the Load functionality, why not, but i'll need help from users that actually own these, looking for that info is usually a nightmare... The easy mapping is already here, it's called MIDI learn, and you can just right click and move a controller and they are linked. About the Mic animation, it's not worth it, this would mean many images (and in retina resolution, these are big and use Ram). At some point, there will be more Irs at different distances and maybe there will be such a feature, but it is probably poing to be for a V2.

Alright guys, since you (and people from other forums) have been asking for a few features including the possibility to make it more Rock oriented, we just added a few features (there will be a newsletter about it given how many new things have been added since the release). First, we added the Amp section present in our other libraries, so there is a list of about 10 amps in mono or stereo versions including Fender amps, Rhodes and even Bass amps (and others). The last two demos in our demo list are using amps and not the Leslie. Second, there is the possibility to use the sustain pedal to actually sustain notes. And then there are a few other things that some of you might already have in their versions like the toggle rotation speed for the pedal, the possibility to assign on/off buttons from hardware keyboards to percussions buttons, the possibility to de-activate the presets keys, a distance knob to control the amount of "room" present in the Leslie simulation (this one is subtle and you can hear it when playing staccato notes without the reverb engaged), and we made the texts bigger for the non-retina screen users (this has been there for a while, but wasn't in the first release).

I will probably sound dumb, but, i tried everything to be notified of new posts in this topic... but i never get them... is there something i need to do besides ticking yes in the preferences to be emailed when a change is made? I could have answered earlier, but i did not see anything new was posted here...
