Vienna Multi Layered Sound Fonts

Some of the more sophisticated keyboards have weighted action that uses a different sampled sound for each range of velocity. That way you get the sound of a piano played softly as opposed to the sound of a piano played normally with the volumn turned down.
Is Vienna 2.4 capable of creating sound fonts which are organized in this way and respond to velocity by switching samples? If so, are there instructions some where as to how to build such a font?
Also are there any piano fonts out there for download that use this technique?

Hi Joseph,
Not at this time, although if other layered libraries offer VST support, there is a method for inclusion in Soundbooth. Generally, all of these custom, dynamic sound libraries are pretty segregated.
While Adobe's own offerings are limited to the 4 or 5 dozens scores, there is an SDK available that enables anyone to create their own Scores or Score libraries. It's our hope that more third party score libraries start to become available, and our long-term goal is to make it simpler for our users to create their own dynamics scores from their own compositions or other pieces of music. Ideally, I'd love to offer a tool where someone could import any piece of music, we could analyze it and split it into various compositional components, then allow a user to shuffle, extend, loop, or skip those pieces as they saw fit. Right now, we're probably a bit away from that

Vienna sound font problem with audigy

HiI have "audigy LS" installed, but it is not compatable with the "vienna sound font".Which Sound Blaster sound card would I need, and would it be an improvement over my existing card. Thanks

I suppose that, all other models but Audigy LS and Value are SoundFont capable ... just check the Creative web resouces (product pages) or user's guides (support - produc documentation) for those cards you're interested in ... there'll you see a list of bundled software ... if you see soundfont bank manager software listed there then the card is (normally) SF capable but, if you also need a MIDI I/O for external MIDI keyboard Cntroller then, those systems w/ external I/O Dri've/Console are the only choices (from Creative brand) for you.
EDIT:
If you have installed the Kontakt Player which comes w/ Sibelius software, you'll get better results w/ that compared to SoundFonts which ones comes w/ Soundblaster cards. To get some noticeable improvements into Sibelius sound quality, you need to buy some quality soundfont banks. Also, for Kontakt, you can buy some extra soundlibraries as like the GPO Garritan Orchestra Sibelius Edition and Pop & Rock Collection, which both adds plenty of quality instruments to choose from.

Any way to import multi-layered Illustator file into Motion?

I have an Illustrator map of Europe and i would like to bring it into Motion.
I know that Motion can import Illustrator files as pdf but is there any way to import a multi-layered illustrator file into Motion. I just saw this web site regarding a Motion plug-in that claims to do just this:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/16298/layerlink

Without a dedicated plug or FxPlug, Motion has no inherent ability to parse Illustrator layers.
We just bust the layers out and save them as individual files. Or, of course, we use After Effects.

Importing Multi-Layered Photoshop CS2 files...

Hello again everyone. I trust you are all well.
I am currently constructing some tutorials for my Video Editing class and I am trying to demonstrate how to import and use Multi-layered Photoshop CS2 files inside Final Cut Express 2.0.3.
Here is the problem:
My iBook is running Final Cut Express 2.0.3 but does not have Adobe Photoshop CS2 on it. My DELL PC is running Adobe Photoshop CS2 and I am creating my PSD's on that and then transfering those PSD's across to the iBook with either my USB stick or my iPod.
Now according to the Final Cut Express 2.0.3 Help file, "When you import a layered Photoshop File into Final Cut Express, the file becomes a sequence in your project".
However, when I import my PSD, that was created on my DELL in Photoshop CS2, into Final Cut Express 2.0.3, it does not import it as a sequence, but as a flattened still image.
Is this because I need to have Photoshop CS2 installed on my iBook for the PSD to be imported correctly as a sequence, retaining the layers, or is there a compatability issue with creating PSD's on a PC and then trying to import them into Final Cut Express 2.0.3?

Thanks for your quick reply Tom!
I had a feeling this might be the case after I did some more testing with Photoshop files created on a MAC. If I resave those PC Photoshop files on a Mac in Photoshop, they import correctly as a sequence into Final Cut Express.
Thanks again for the advice!

Multi-Layered Image reopens as blank layers with no work done.

Hi!
My Quick Selection tool was acting weird, so I saved my multi layered image but when I reopened the image, there was no work saved. All that showed up were blank layer after blank layer with the names I had put in. What happened to the amount of work I put in?!!?!?!?!?!? Is there a way to recover alllll my work? Please Help!!!!
Thanks,
Lynn

Thank you both for your answers.
In the meantime I researched further and found exactly the issue and a workaround. The issue is only with 16 bit psd files and has to do with alpha channels as you both mentioned. Now, I would disagree that this is acceptable behavior Leonie. In my opinion this is a serious bug but anyways..
A workaround is to place an all white alpha channel exactly after the RGB channels and BEFORE any other alpha channel as suggested here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2708851?start=0&tstart=0
This is working (contrary to what is said in the above post) but be patient with the previews as they take ages to update.
Trying to automate this I've made an action to create the alpha channel and used the script manager to run it when a new document is created. Now this does not work because the document is created in Aperture when pressing 'open in external editor' and the event is skipped. I instead had to associate the action with 'open document' which of course means that I will have an alpha channel created every time I open a document..
I made the action so it names the channel 'bug fix' so I will just have to clean up every now and then.. I may choose to activate the action with a shortcut instead and have to remember every time I create a new document.
Anyways, a bit of an annoying bug and seems to be around for quite a while. Hopefully Apple is going to fix it at some point.

Sound Fonts: How to record?

I can get the sound fonts to play in Garageband player but the song sent to iTunes the instruments defaults to the software instruments? And while we are at it is it possible to convert sound fonts to software instruments?
imac Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Using SoundFontSynth and load a sf2 file and apply it to a midi track, depending on the sf2 file they seem to vary, GB plays the ihe instrument but when the song is sent to iTunes the new instrument either is changed back to the instrument applied when the midi file was loaded or doesn't play at all.
Since I first asked I tried another sf2 file and it worked the amended instrumentation played. For somone new to this it is bewildering but I am keen to learn.

How do i fix sound font fail for audigy 2

all of the suddon my sound stopped working and my diagnostics say sound font fail. how do i fix this problem?

I had the exact same problem updating the drivers for my Audigy 2 Platinum EX, but I think I managed to solve the problem. This was quite awhile ago, but I think I remember how I got it to work.
First of all, which update did you download? The "Digital Rights Management" driver update was the one giving me that problem, and this was after installing the main drivers and programs from my Audigy 2 CD. But, I think the reason why it gives this message is because you need to install one of the other driver updates first, then install this DRM update. Look under the driver details and it says the following:
"<EM>Requirements</EM>:
Microsoft? Windows? XP Service Pack 2 or Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 </LI>
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 or Audigy 2 ZS series internal audio device </LI>
<EM>EAX 4.0 ADVANCED HD Driver Patch Update for Sound Blaster Audigy 2 and Audigy 2 ZS (released on 29 March, 2004) installed, or Sound Blaster Audigy 2 and Audigy 2 ZS Driver Update (released on 29 July, 2004) installed</EM>."</LI>
Strangely enough, it appears this update requires you install an older driver update first (EAX4DRV_AUDIGY2__84_50.exe) then afterwards try running the Digital Rights Management update.
I think this is right, but I'm not 00% sure.

Have you tried importing them into the EXS 24 ? Assuming the process is the same if you're on Logic X, its just a matter of putting the soundfont files into the ~/Library/Application Support/Logic/Sampler Instruments folder and the EXS converts them when you try to load them - its explained properly in the Software Instruments manual (EXS24 section), but its very quick and easy. It might provide a decent alternative.

Why does my nano make a multi note sound and skip songs

When hooked up to a memorex ipod stereo, my iPod Nano (6th gen) VERY frequently will begin playing a song (while on shuffle/all songs) and after a few seconds or sometimes after a minutes or so the stereo will emit a multi-note sound and skip to the next song in the rotation. VERY ANNOYING to say the least. Is there anyone out there having this problem?

If it only happens when using Memorix iPod stereo, you need to contact their tech support.

Can ATV play multi layered video track .mov files?

Hi all,
Front Row 2 cannot play multi layered video track .mov files for now,
so I wonder if an ATV take 2 can play .mov files with 2 or more video track?

HeyJP wrote:
yeah, so far, it looks like it has to be pretty vanilla. Only a single h.264 track and an audio track.
The new 5.1 rentals supposedly have 2 audio tracks - stereo for devices that can't handle 5.1 via HDMI and presmably to give stereo audio out via the RCA sockets, and the 5.1 passthrough.
It may be that with time more fucntionality will be added to movie playback, but I'm not holding my breath.

Multi-Channel Sound Card?

I have the 13" Aluminum MacBook from late 2008... (The specs for which are at http://support.apple.com/kb/SP500 - I read them but they didn't answer my question)
Does this unit have a multi-channel sound card? If so, how is this used? I'm looking to run Mixmeister Fusion on it, but I'm not sure if the sound card is compatible.
If it's not, is there an external card I can plug in that would make this work?
Thanks!

Mixmeister has some devices that they recommend listed on their web site:

You might also try asking for opinions and advice in their own forums. You'll be more likely to get replies that are truly applicable there, I would guess.

Multi layered drill down

Post Author: twowheeler
CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
Hello,
Is there a way to do a multi layered drill down without having the Enterprise version? I have the trial version of Xcelsius 2008.
e.g., I have expense bar chart for a 5 hospitals. If I click on one of the hospitals, I'd like to have this drill down to the departments for that hospital and show a bar chart by department. Then, I'd like to be able to drill down on a department and show a bar chart by account.
Is this doable with Xcelsius 2008?
Thanks!

I think it would be better if u create a htm page to simplify drill down on xcelsius.You could create links on XCelsius.
good luck

Multi-layered graphic

I'm having a problem using imported multi-layered photoshop graphics (720 x 480 72 dpi) After importing one to the browser, if I drop it into the timeline, it looks great. When I double click on it and it opens up to show the layers, it still looks great. But if I do anything to it, including rendering it untouched, stagger the layers so they dissolves in on top of each other, change the size of any layer or apply motion, the quality of the graphic is compromised. You can see the pixels of the text and the objects become blurred.
I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Any suggestions??
Thanks.
Jamie

There are five layers, transparent. I did bring them all in together. I'll try bringing them in separately.
The only resizing I've done is scaling them down, not up. I just changed the field dominance to none but that didn't help. (Do I need to change that back for future projects??)
I have been looking at it fully rendered.
My sequence settings are:
Frame Size: 720 x 480
Editing Timebase: 29.97 fps
Field Dominance: none
Aspect Ratio: NTSC-CCIR 601 / DV
Anamorphic: Off
Video Processing: YUV allowed (8 bit)
White Point: white
Compressor: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC
Millions of Colors (24 bit)
No Data Rate Limit
Where in the motion tab do I need even numbers??

Stitching multi layered images together?

Is there a way to stitch multiple multi-layer files together?
I'm using Cinema4D render passes and it puts all the image passes (reflectivity, ambient, specular, etc) into separate layers for easy manipulation. However, I'm using a tile camera that splits the image into quadrants for faster network rendering. The downside is that it doesn't re-assemble the images back together.
Is there a way for Photoshop to glue multi layered images together?

I have not tried to do this. As Mark stated flatten them first save a copy and merge those.
Although you could try and report back. Keep in mind that Photoshop needs some overlap to stitch images together. If its just sliced into 4 quadrants just make a Blank file the correct size and dupe all layers and point them at the new file.

Upgraded to Yosemite, lost all sound fonts

I recently upgraded my OS from Mavericks to Yosemite. Everything was going well-ish after the upgrade (generally slower than Mavericks, which is annoying) until I noticed that some instruments weren't making a sound in a Garageband composition. Turns out my sound banks (Library > Audio > Sounds > Banks), where my sound fonts are stored, are now empty. I've checked both Libraries, under Macintosh HD and "User", but no sign of them. I've searched using Spotlight and they're nowhere to be found.
This is pretty frustrating as I've spent a long time gathering sound fonts for use on various projects, but they've all been removed in one fell swoop. Thanks Yosemite.
Anybody else come across this? Am I just unlucky? I'm hoping this is the only chunk of files to go missing after the upgrade! I guess time will tell.
If you're thinking about updating, copy your sound banks folder to a safe location first!

You don't need to have your photos and music in the cloud. Mine aren't. I have my libraries on the computer.
If the iPhoto app came with the computer, then it is probably not in the App Store under your purchases unless you purchased a newer version. If you have it on your iMac and didn't upgrade to 10.10.3 yet, check the version on it. Version 9.6.1 is what you need. If it isn't, update it. Then copy it to your laptop.
If you don't have the new Photos application on the computer with 10.10.3 running, then something didn't update properly. Search the drive to be sure it isn't there. If you can't find it, then you might try running the combo updater here:
