Library Setup

Does anybody happen to have an OM soundset for Spitfire BBCSO?

Hi everyone, I’m sharing my complete collection of sound sets for the Xsample Contemporary Strings and the entire Elastic Instruments Collection from the full package. These files are provided as-is. Feel free to adapt them to your specific needs, but please note that I won’t be able to make any modifications or improvements—I simply don’t have the time. I’m posting them here to help fellow users of the Xsample library. Best regards, Stéphane XSample.zip

I have just picked up Halion 5.1 in Steinberg's 5.1 update 50% off sale - and I'm looking at integrating this into my current MIDI setup to use with OM. Currently, the majority of my VI sound sets are for key-switch based VIs (VSL, Kontakt etc) and these are all driven by OMN articulations linked to key switches in their sound-sets. I have found this to work very well and efficiently when composing with these VIs and also as a good way of experimenting with articulation mapping directly in OM. The convenience of this approach is one of the major strengths of initial compositional drafting in OM. I'm not particularly concerned with final score output so articu…

Hi, I have installed Opusmodus with 2 licences on 4 computers and want to use my libraries on my SynologyDrive in my Network in order to get them synced and up to date on every machine. Therefore I placed it in my .../SynologyDrive/Opusmodus/Def-Libraries/Def-Library directory. Isn't it necessary to place it in a User Source Folder? What's the next step in order to tell Opusmodus how to find this path and accept it as its new system path? I'm already using my libraries and they work well when installed in their dedicated folders. Thanks for helping me to solve this very special problem

Hi! I'm creating an instrument library for all the VSL Woodwinds instruments. In several DEF-SOUND-SET examples I have, I see different articulation combinations, but I don't know how to recall the without an error message. I've been only capable of using the OM articulation combinations, like "long+stacc", or "short+vib", ... etc. For example, how can I use in an OM score the "fl1-perf-marcato" articulation included in the following DEF-SOUD-SET? (def-sound-set vi-flute1 :supports-mts t :programs (:group perf-universal fl1-perf-leg-sustain (:key c2 cc1 30) fl1-perf-marcato (:key c2 cc1 80) …

Hello! My apologies if there is a better thread for this topic, but I am wanting to organize a composition to reference other files (one which will contain lists which are large enough to be unwieldy and the other for my functions). Approaching this with ADSF would have me creating a system to load. Something like: (defsystem "composition-lisp" :description "composition-lisp: Tom trying to organize and load multiple files." :version "0.0.1" :author "Tom Tolleson <tom@example.com>" :licence "Public Domain" :depends-on ("optima.ppcre" "command-line-arguments") :components ((:file "/common-lisp/composition-lisp/composition-lisp.ads") …

Dear Friends, Is there any templates for Garritan Jazz and Big Band 3 ? Some lisp files with correct keyswitches for this ? Best, Julio

Hi, I want to set the vibrato amount of the string library I use for ps to 0. Its on cc21. I can't figure out in which form I have to put it in the Def-Instrument-Sets file: :v1 (:layout treble-layout :port "OM-VE1" :channel 12 :controllers (21 '(0)) ;this does not work :sound 'sq-sf :volume 127) thanks for help! best ole

Hi guys, Did anyone of you already look into the rather new IRCAM Solo Instruments 2 by UVI? That might be nice to control from within Opusmodus with its wide range of extended techniques available. From what I can tell from the videos, this seems to be a clear improvement over the former version and also conTimbre in terms of sounds and playability. Anyone already tried it?

Dear Friends, Very basic question: I use some old VSL sample .gig files with gplayer. I really like this libraries and the way it sounds. The combination patches alternate sounds via keyswitches in the lower range of keyboard (or the upper range in some instruments). Something like: C normal sound C# pizz D marcato etc Can I use this keyswitches in the OMN lingo, without having to send the midi note itself to activate the keyswitch, something like: (marcato e c4 d4 s legato fs4 g4 cs5 eb5 ) Opusmodus will send the keyswitches as a hidden midi note in the expression ? All …

I've started to develop a converter that converts Sibelius SoundSet files (xml) to Opusmodus SoundSet format. It's very preliminary yet but attached you'll find the result of using the Sibelius Special Edition Sound Set as well as the Sibelius Strings Sound Set as test input. Looks promising I think. The Controllers group is missing but I'll be able to implement that part soon. Need a better understanding of what it's supposed to do and will start testing the output so far. VSL has created Sibelius specific presets for Vienna Instruments which are meant to be used in conjunction with the Sibelius Sound Set. The converter I wrote converts these Sib…

Hello, here's the VSL Syncron-ized Special Edition Plus Soundset. All the best ! Stéphane VSL-SynchronSpecial-Edition.lisp

I am still working on getting playback for GrandOrgue working properly. I defined a sound set with various articulations (shown in a related post, see link below) for setting, e.g., which manual to use for the current hand, and which stop combinations on that manual. Those articulations already work individually in Opusmodus. The problem I am facing is that I need to constantly combine multiple of such articulations in a single note. For example, I may need to specify that the right hand stops playing on the manual I (one articulation), that it instead plays on manual II and III coupled (two further articulations) and which stop combinations to use for those m…

I would like to define a new sound set to control a particular setting of the virtual organ GrandOrgue (https://sourceforge.net/projects/ourorgan/), a very nice and flexible pipe organ simulator. After investing quite some amount of time I now got some setting that allows me to nicely control GrandOrgue from Sibelius, and I would like to reproduce that control in Opusmodus. For that, I need to send certain CC messages and program change messages depending on articulations in the score. For example, I use articulations like 'I', to set the current staff to the organ division I (usually main) or 'II" for the division II (swell). Now, I might be simply missing so…

Here is a practical working basis for use with VSL Special Edition & Special Edition Plus matrix : 4x2 (standard), 5x2 (contrabassoon+), 6x2 (bass clarinet+), 7x2 (strings & winds plus) & 11x3 (strings+). vsl_se_presets.opmo

Opusmodus somehow cuts of the reverb tail of any last note played by EastWest's Play (tested with EWQLSO). This only happens for me with realtime output by either playing a score or a snippet. The problem does not exist with exported MIDI files. Does Opusmodus perhaps send any MIDI message at the end of realtime output that could cause this? Stephane, do you also have this problem? Thanks! EDIT: Meanwhile found a workaround: the problem only happened with Play in standalone mode. When using Play within a DAW such as Logic it works fine. Strange... Best, Torsten

Dear all, I am curious to know if anyone has imported any/all of the currently existing scala scales into OM. Is it possible to automate the process of importing all the tunings just because dealing with both the .scl format and the number of available tunings can get tedious.

I got a first small sound set defined for the EWQLSO (http://www.soundsonline.com/Symphonic-Orchestra), a subset of the solo flute using the default keyswitches. If anyone wants to use that library as well, let me share that you have to transpose all keyswitches given in the documentation up by one octave 😛 Anyway, I ran into a few general questions and minor issues. Request: the stacc and stacs articulations affect the played duration of notes, but the articulations leg and tenuto do not – they all take the full note value/length, while I would expect leg to be slightly longer, and tenuto slightly shorter. Is it perhaps possible to change that somehow…

This sound-set below is part of the Opusmodus system and is used here to demonstrate what the group will be focussing on - creating new sound sets for old and new samples, synthesisers or any other software. Opusmodus can control any system that accepts MIDI CC.

There are two ways of creating a VSL sound set library. The first one is with keyswitches - this is the default VSL setup. The second one is to do your own Program Changes sound set to switch between Patches. In this example we use the 'VSL Prepared Piano' instrument. First the keyswitches sound set: (def-sound-set VSL-Prepared-Piano-KS :programs (:group Main chain (:key c7 :key a0) double-screw (:key cs7 :key a0) harmoinic (:key d7 :key a0) harmoinic-secco (:key ds7 :key a0) foil …

Bonjour, Lors d'une recherche dans la librairie d'Opusmodus, il me semble que j'avais trouvé toute la liste des accords en notation "jazz" en Do pouvant-être associée au mot clé :rotate pour les renversements. Mais je ne la retrouve plus. Aurais-je confondu avec le document "Accords noms" qui propose une liste plus limitée d'accords ? Merci d'avance. Didier Hello, During a search in the library of Opusmodus, I think I found the whole list of rating chords "jazz" in C that can be associated with the keyword :rotate to inversion/rotation. But I found the most. Would I confused with the document "Accords noms" which offers a more limited list …

Hi, In the documentation for DEF-SCORE, there is a nice example of using Reaktor. Where can I find more information on this? I do not understand the :controllers option given in that example. Regards, Rangarajan

Hi, I have a rather simple question: Inside a DEF-SCORE, when I use :sound 'gm, is it possible to define the program by number instead of the name, e.g. using 1 or 001 instead of :program 'acoustic-grand-piano? thanks! ole
