    Acousticsamples B-0 Organ for UVI Workstation

    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.

    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.

    I've noticed that when slowly triggering a note, there is one brief, higher-pitched tone played prior to the sound of all of the drawbars. It's not percussion...it just sounds like one of the higher drawbars is being triggered prior to the others. I didn't have a lot of time to play around with it, but it doesn't sound correct to me.

    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.

    What do you grizzled vets think about the B5 scanner vibrato? I listened to most of the online demos and I didn't hear 888000000, scanner vibrato on C3, Leslie slow or off, and sustaining one note.

     

    And sorry for the dumb question, but is there a trial demo version available?

    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.

    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.

    To me MVintage Rotary sounds much better than the B5 Leslie anyway. The B5/MVintage rotary combo is killer. There seems to be a bug BTW: even if the B5 Leslie is switched off, the B5 slow/fast switch still produces a light Tremolo effect.

    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.

    Hi Arno- Great update- will use it in a band setting next week.

    I dont seem to be able to use a midi cc to vary the click setting. Whenever i

    try- it crashes B5. Using the latest version of UVI. I have tried various cc's

    and tried standalone and within mainstage.

    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?

    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...) ;)

    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).
