Hi.
I have Orchestools installed for a tryout, and the first thing i'll say is thank you for the plugins (AV linux 64bit) The install went ok, and the 4 orchestral sections appear in Ardour as VST3 plugins. I can add each instance without crashes or freezes.
And right up to the point i want to try a new preset things go well. I've selected the library window, it opens, and I can navigate to OT Strings factory/Combis & Multis/Midi Violins Articulations. Here's where it stops. I double click (my assumption this is correct) that entry, and nothing happens.
When I go back to the main window, and search the factory preset list for the layer, this preset is not there.
Q. How do i get this particular preset to appear in the dropdown list for the layers?
Q 2. Is this preset as it says on the tin? Can i add it to the layer, and have the option of selecting articulations in a single layer/ daw track/midi channel, by some means (cc or some other method?)
Alex.
EDIT: Ok, I think I figured it out. Violins pizz is not a violin pizz section, but the violas pizz section.
My apologies for the noise.
hi Alex. Orchestools sections has no keyswitch articulations mechanism yet. Instead each layer can have his own MIDI channel that you set in MIDI/keyboard panels on each layer - in this way you can switch between MIDIchannels in controller or DAW to use different articulations. I'm not sure I understand the preset problem you have. The instrument combox in layers list samplemaps and its status, and everything else that you edit on UI panels, is saved together in Presets.
