It’s not commercially available, it’s just something I made for myself.

@@MattiaChiappa It's a pity(

@@MattiaChiappa Just to follow up on this----getting those kinds of measured tremolos seems to be a real hole in the sample market which nobody has filled. I've been wanting a really comprehensive measured tremolo library for years, and nothing ever happens. I'm sure lots of people would love one, and would pay top dollar for something comprehensive and useful. Just something to consider....

Hi guys, I really appreciate that you like these virtual instruments 😁 Selling these is not as easy as it may seem. At the moment I simply have too little content and as much as I would like investing to expand these instruments and make more patches, we’d be talking about quite a big sum. I have very little experience producing sampled instruments and I know absolutely nothing about the inner works of sample library companies, or selling digital products even. To make these market ready I’d need at least to put together a small team of people that can help me and that’s also going to be a cost. I could try and crow found this if there’s an interest but right now it seems quite a big undertaking and a very risky one too. Believe me, I had in my mind for a while and I’d love to do this eventually but when I do, I don’t want to let anybody down. If anybody reading this has any experience with any of the above and wants offer some advise please reach out to me! I’ll pin this discussion so that hopefully more people will read it.

Maybe it would be worth reaching out to the Pianobook crew? There is now a section for selling instruments there in collaboration with Spitfire.

Oh cool! I did not know this! Thanks I’ll look into it 😁

Thanks man 😁

Thanks man!

Thanks! I did do some experimentation in the past but I quickly came to the realization that I’m not that kind musician. My sight reading is atrocious. Well that’s an understatement… My sight reading is near non existent and while I can read, it takes me some time to figure things out and that doesn’t help. Piano is my also my third instrument and I can’t play at the same level I write, adding an extra layer of difficulty if I want to check parts against each other. In short without modern technology to help me compose with a sequencer I would be very limited. I’ve been working on improving but being busy makes it difficult to be consistent and I feel like I’ll never reach the level I aspire. I envy people with formal training but hey we do the most with what we’ve got 😁

@@MattiaChiappa I 110% resonate with this, it is exactly how I feel. I am not a trained pianist, yet it's the tool I use to write. My process is basically listening to my brain spitting ideas out that I try to capture with my voice, and then over many hours I attempt to capture that same energy and feeling with technology because I absolutely cannot perform it myself. I will have so many moments where rudimentary harmonic content will sound brand new to me. Once a foundation gets established, everything else is throwing paint against a wall and wiping away excess colors. Most of the time, I have no idea what I did once I'm removed about 2 weeks from something, it's fun!

Not really though, these ensambles are not multi. What I like about it is that they were sampled at the same time. The balance is baked into the samples.

​@@MattiaChiappaat around 12:40 you demonstrate your own patch with strings and winds playing and say by turning the mod wheel down, you only hear strings and when you turn the mod wheel up you hear both. So I assumed you have two samples overlapping and the winds sample volume is controlled by the mod wheel. If you also controlled the string sample volume with the mod wheel, but opposite values, you would have more flexibility. Winds volume via MW = 0 to 128, and strings volume via MW = 128 to 0. This would allow you to tilt the patch not only towards strings only, but also winds only by going up with the MW. Or are you achieving the balance change another way?

Yeah I recorded strings and winds together. I was more interested in how the blends of certain instruments work with an environment than flexibility itself. This is something I find samples struggle to replicate. I would love one day to make my own sample library made solely by ensemble patches recorded in a similar fashion.

@@MattiaChiappa you should. How you've processed existing libraries definately shows you are able to create better sounding patches than existing top libraries.

I don’t have it or use it

It doesn’t, everything is off at start

I don’t know, I only own cinematic rooms and seven heaven. Cinematic rooms is the one I prefer out of the 2 or stock Logic reverbs

I use it on an auxiliary channel and then send different amounts to different instruments

Thanks, many of them. CSS, CSB, Hollywoodwinds, BHCT and some patches of my own. I go through each of them in this video.

I just bounce each stem individually

A lot of its sound is in the performance. I took me a lot of practice to get it to sound good. Been using this library every day for the past 4 years. Give it time, it’s worth it!

I don’t 😁

I use an external ssd with 2TB of storage

I think it should be always on by default. It’s a little more subtle on lower dynamics and there’s nothing you can do about it

@@MattiaChiappa Thank you for the answer - One other thing your chord progression, where you play the piano is beautiful

I use a CC controller with faders that are mapped to different parameters. I don’t mess with espression much except for spitfire BBC. I don’t think that it alters the balance too much, just gives you a bit more wiggle room when samples are not as dynamic.

@@MattiaChiappa Thank you so much! If not CC11, what parameters do you have mapped out to balance may i ask? It's not really possible to have the same balance in every mockup in your template right? Because you will be riding CC's for every instrument in your cues, ruining your default levels in your template?

Sure, every piece is unique because it uses different dynamics, the volume balance doesn’t necessarily change when you do this though.

@@MattiaChiappa Got it-Thanks so much! So do you recommend just setting just CC7 and 11 values for all your tracks for the volume balance? And never touching them in your mockups to keep that balance? ( Except for some libraries where you need to move CC11 slightly )

I don’t have it I’m afraid but I think it sounds very good

I use a samsung ssd evo 2TB

The template loads up instantly, maybe takes a few seconds. A full project usually uses up to 180 tracks a can take maybe a minute or a little longer than that, I’m not sure. Saving takes maybe 1 or 2 seconds? I can’t tell you for sure because these times are so short I never took a notice. That was the case for my older iMac as well

@@MattiaChiappa Thankyou!! Sounds a really workable set up.

I use the classic legato patch from csss together with the low latency from css. They seem to match quite well to me 😁

@@MattiaChiappa Awesome. Thank you!

I use a function in Logic called low latency mode. Look at the time stamps, i briefly talk about that

@@MattiaChiappa Thank you!

Yeah it was included with the bundle. If you are considering it thought you should check their website just to make sure it’s still the case

@@MattiaChiappa Hey Mattia thanks for your reply. I understand. You know, I'm just wondering because I have now registered version 13 Ultimate and somehow I don't see Izotope here :) That's why I was quite surprised when I heard that version "11" was. Maybe i should write to NI or im do something wrong

I don’t remember exactly if there was an extra step but it’s very possible. I did have some issues with it too though. I vaguely remember reading a paragraph on their faq

I’m in Rosetta, it doesn’t affect CPU usage though. Every track is disarmed at start and projects get larger and more CPU intensive as I progress

I use either some faders or the mod wheel

@@MattiaChiappa how can you do that playing 8 notes voicing chords ? ;-) do you switch very fastly between faders and keys ? Maybe keeping continuous sounds with sustain pedal ?

I rarely do wide stuff on ensable patches but when I do, I record the part fist then record the dynamics on a second pass. Most times though I have one hand on the keys and one on the faders, one voice per instrument. I often use ensembles only in a certain register, either low or high and when I do I rarely need to play the part with 2 hands

@@MattiaChiappa thks for those details

It's not a live show, just a premiere cause the video is quite long so yeah the video is staying on my channel

@@MattiaChiappa Great, I like your video.

Puoi provare, se copi passo per passo le impostazioni alle fine dovrebbe suonare simile

@@MattiaChiappa OK grazie, era proprio quello che volevo provare a fare. 😊

I’m sure it’s not that bad!

I do when my computer cannot keep up any longer

Hi Paul thanks! Because since the update I’ve been using pretty much only the low latency mode and the standard legato doesn’t match with that very well being slower

@@MattiaChiappa Got it thanks ! Also, I found out that the mod wheel in the brass shorts tracks doesn't influence the articulation (rep, staccattiss. stacc. and sfz), is there a specific reason for why you did that and how do you change articulation within these tracks then ?

Because I don’t want to inadvertently change articulation by bumping into a fader or the mod wheel. I’m very very clumsy and this happens to me like a trillion times a day 😅. I would disable note key switches as well if I could ahah

@@MattiaChiappa ahaha I can relate to that 🤣 might sound a bit dumb but how to you switch short articulation without the mod wheel, which CC do you use ? For example if you want to play a bunch of staccatos and finish with a sforzando...

Oh I created some articulation sets in Logic using the values provided in the CSS manual. For example spiccato is on controller 58, between 11-15. You can find all them on the last page of the manual.

I’m midi transposing within the patch 2 tones up then 2 tones down within the instrument settings. This is so I can access a different sample pool

@@MattiaChiappa Thanks ! And do you lower the db?

I don’t, it’s basically just a second patch of the same instrument
