Art Vista Sale - 50% OFF!!!

[P de Caumette]

Good luck with the store Hans! images/icons/smile.gif

[midphase]

Hans,

I\'ve been holding off purchasing your wonderful Malmsjo piano because:

A. Unity Session couldn\'t open Giga compressed files and hence I couldn\'t use with it my set-up.

B. You didn\'t make an EXS24 version which would require me to manually adjust a lot of it.

C. The economy....ahhh, the economy!

For $50, I\'m more than willing to put the extra time into it!!! Look for my order soon!

[Ed]

You have my order, and my thanks. images/icons/grin.gif Thank you, thanks you, thank you. I was also putting off buying this piano.

I CAN FINIALLY STOP USING GIGAPIANO YEA YEA YEA... um, sorry I got a bit carried away. graemlins/tounge_images/icons/smile.gif

Hans,

Can you tell me whether Cool Vibes is imported properly by Kontakt and HALion? In particular, are the filter settings maintained?

Thanks...

Daniel and BluesWest,

I can check how well the translation is done by Halion, and Kontakt. I don\'t have the EXS24 sampler yet.

Is there anyone else on this Forum, that can report about their experience using Cool Vibes with either Halion/Kontakt/EXS24? How you did the translation, etc.(Native/Translator/CDXtract?)

Well,for $50 I may just take a chance on EXS importing it well, which it typically does very well.

How you did the translation, etc.(Native/Translator/CDXtract?)<font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana, Arial\">I converted Cool Vibes to Halion in CDXtract - and it went like a breeze. No problems at all.

In another thread here on NS, Tob had mentioned how he used only a little tweaking in Megatrigg to get what he was after (using the pedals a little differently), but now with Halion2, it\'s even easier than that. Cool Vibes works like a charm - wonderfully articulated, expressive and delightlfully moody as well. (The Ocean Vibes setting is my current favorite effect. images/icons/wink.gif )

As is, check out the demos and listen to their sound - if it sounds good to you, you won\'t be disappointed.

(I also jumped at this offer and picked up the Malmsjo - if it\'s programmed 1/10th as well as Cool Vibes, it\'ll be a delight to play - and for $50? Yowza!)

[Bruce A. Richardson]

Don\'t miss this one, guys. The Malmsjo and Cool Vibes are both EXCELLENT libraries.

[Hans Adamson]

Thanks everyone!

[midphase]

Hans,

Give how many users are inquiring about an EXS24 version, you might consider offering an EXS instrument file on the CD-Rom.

Perhaps I\'ll send you mine after I convert it and tweak it to sound as close as possible to the Giga version (I usually A/B the Giga and EXS versions to insure that they match perfectly).

[thesoundsmith]

Hans, just ordered the vibes - I already have several others, but the body on yours is perfect for the acoustic jazz sound.

Sharmy, if you read this: is that an EWI on your demo? Beautiful work.

[Hans Adamson]

Midphase,

Thanks, I may take you up on the offer. The Malmsjö doesn\'t have that much \"fancy\" programming, but it is diligently programmed to achieve seemless dynamics in the velocity response. I do have a number of customers using it with EXS24, and they seem to be happy with the import. Some of them hang out on the Yahoo!group ( http://groups.yahoo.com/group/exs-users/?yguid=102863230 (\"http://groups.yahoo.com/group/exs-users/?yguid=102863230\") ) for \"EXS-users\", and I usually refer to this user group when asked about compatibility.

Dasher,
Let me know how it works out in your music. BTW, What is an EWI?

Hello,
I placed an order for the cool vibes but I was never given a comfirmation it went through. I was taken to a survey page that I didn\'t want to fill out. Was the order placed or was the survey part of the ordering? Very confusing.
Thanks,
Jamie images/icons/confused.gif

[Hans Adamson]

Jamie,

I did get your order. I don\'t know about the survey thing. It seems like Yahoo! is doing this without my knowledge. I will contact them and check what is going on.

<font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana, Arial\">Electronic Wind Instrument - Steiner-Parker/Akai. Plays sort of like sax, with an analog tone module. Tom Scott and the Yellowjackets\' sax player use one. Hard to find these days, the Yamaha Wind Synth with VL-70m kind of took over the slot. The EWI has very sweet analog sounds...

The piano has a wonderfully soft tone that sits perfectly in an orchestral setting. Plus it has a personality about it that I haven\'t heard in any other piano library. It\'s ridiculously cheap, and when cutting THAT price in half, you\'d be insane not to purchase it. =)

[Beel]

Hi,
after Aaron recommended the Piano lib I ordered it yesterday. Looking forward to the sound of it.
Thanks for the 50% off offer.

[Hans Adamson]

Jamie,

I asked a Yahoo!Stores consultant about the survey, and also about a \"thank you-reward\" that evidently pops up for some customers.

He claimed that those only appear for customers generated through Yahoo! Networks, and that I didn\'t have any control over them. I am a little annoyed over this, but otherwise I am very happy with the Yahoo! service.

If anyone has had these experiences, and was bothered, let me know. I may try to bring it up with the Yahoo! people again.

Holger,
Thanks!

Hey Rich,

I was just going to mail you about it. I have had so much work because of the sale, and we are still working on processing all the orders. But we are catching up now, and I will get it done this week. Promise.

Hans

[donimon]

I got the Piano yesterday - it\'s really nice and mellow. I imported to EXS and it seems to work fine - or else I don\'t know what I\'m missing.

As for Yahoo store, it was really easy. I had a Yahoo email address so I didn\'t even have to enter a credit card number - and it showed up in like a day.

Thanks - Jeff

[esteso]

Hans

Got your piano in the mail today but Kontakt can\'t import it or even see it. It just says they\'re unknown filetypes. I\'m on a Mac so these .exe files are hard to deal with but maybe I\'m missing something simple. I guess I have to change the .exe files into .nki or .gig files but how do I do that if Kontakt won\'t see \'em? Stuffit 7.0 or 7.01 won\'t do it. It keeps crashing the app.

Is anyone using this piano on the Mac with Kontakt?

Thanks

[Hans Adamson]

Michael,

Stuffit will expand the compressed file. You may have to download the newest freeware version.

1. Load the CD into your CD-ROM reader.

2. Copy the file \"Mag 20 Kontakt.exe\" onto your desktop.

3. Double-click on the Stuffit icon so that the \"Drag and Drop\" window opens.

4. Drag the file \"MAG 20 Kontakt.exe\" over the window, and drop it.

5. The Stuffit software will expand a folder named \"Malmsjö Acoustic Grand\". This folder contains the .nki program files as well as the \"Malmsjö Acoustic Grand Samples\" folder.

[Jamie Haggerty]

Stuff it 7.03 is what you need. works for me.
J

[esteso]

Totally cool guys. Thanks. I had actually done everything right but I think I had so many different versions of Stuffit on my drive that the prefs got all screwed up. I deleted everything, trashed the prefs and installed a fresh copy of Stuffit 7.03, D/L from Aladdins\' site and voila!

As I wrote this it had expanded and now I\'m looking at some .nki files.

Thanks a lot

(now I have to practise)

Oh oh, It looks like I spoke too soon. I can see the .nki files in Kontakt but it won\'t load \'em. What\'s up with this? Maybe the file names are too long. Well, if it\'s not one thing, it\'s your mother....as they say.

Guess I\'ll make a copy and shorten the file name.

Wish me luck

OK, I shortened the suffix and it now recognizes the file but it says it can\'t find the sample to load it. What to do? Ahh, computers......complex solutions to simple problems!

Guess I\'ll shorten the suffix to the original file and see what happens. If you guys have any other ideas I\'d love to hear \'em.

[Hans Adamson]

Michael,

I don\'t know why your Mac isn\'t recognizing the files as .nki-files. I have tested the procedure on OS 9.1, without any hiccups.

If Kontakt reports that it cannot find the samples, it should normally give you the option of looking for the sample folder, and you may specify its location on the hard drive. When this is done, the instrument will load, and you can then resave it. The next time you load the instrument, Kontakt will know where to look for the samples (.wav\'s).

I have e-mailed you new nki\'s, so you can check that your nki\'s are not damaged. Replace the Malmsjö nki\'s in the Malmsjö Acoustic Grand folder with those. They should have the file names:

Malmsjö Acoustic Grand.nki
Malmsjö Acoustic Grand X.nki
Malmsjö Rock Grand.nki
Malmsjö Dream Grand.nki
Malmsjö Mozart Grand.nki
Malmsjö Midnight Grand.nki

In the Malmsjö Acoustic Grand folder, there should also be a folder called \"Malmsjö Acoustic Grand Samples\". This folder should contain 377 individual samples named such as: \"0_A0.wav\", \"1_A0.wav\", \"10_B0.wav\", \"100_A#2.wav\"...etc.

Try it this way, and let me know what happens.

Hans

[esteso]

Just a follow up to say that I got my problems all sorted out and am now happily playing the piano. It was a bit of a schlep but worth it. The piano sounds great. Hans\' support is top notch. Fast (and I mean really fast) and useful.

Just wanted to acknowledge Hans publicly.

Thank you!

[Hans Adamson]

Thanks Michael! images/icons/smile.gif

Hans

[Jamie Haggerty]

Received my Vibes yesterday. Thanks for the fast service. Just a quick question, since I\'m translating these from Giga to my format is there a sustain patch that isn\'t as large as the 900 meg pedal down patch. I\'m not streaming so that one is just too big. The Dampened patch sounds very good but I would like one that has some sustain without taking all my ram.
Cheers,
Jamie

[fjafan]

Hans,

Received my MAG yesterday, installed it last night without a hitch (Giga), and enjoyed it\'s wonderful tones for several hours. I completely concur with what everyone has been saying......do not hesitate one more second if you are thinking about buying this piano. Thanks again!

Jamie,

There is an on-line manual here:
http://www.artvista.net/Cool%20Vibes%20On-Line%20Manual.htm (\"http://www.artvista.net/Cool%20Vibes%20On-Line%20Manual.htm\")

There is also some important info in the cover booklet.

There are several patches of different sizes with sustained samples only. Here\'s an excerpt from the manual in .doc-format:

INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTIONS

COOL VIBES - Dampened and sustained samples at 8 velocity levels each. 672 stereo samples.

COMPACT VIBES - Dampened and sustained samples at 4 velocity levels (the four extreme loud and soft layers are omitted). 336 stereo samples.

PEDAL VIBES - Sustained samples at 8 velocity levels. 336 stereo samples.

ECONOMY VIBES - Sustained samples at 4 velocity levels. 168 stereo samples.

MICRO VIBES - Sustained samples at 2 velocity levels. 84 stereo samples.

SOFT VIBES - Sustained samples of the 4 softest velocities. Higher output. 168 stereo samples. (Marimba Lumina=336)

SPACE VIBES - Sustained samples of the 2 softest velocities. Higher output. 84 stereo samples. (Marimba Lumina=168)

OCEAN VIBES - Sustained samples of the 2 softest layers with the attack cut out. Higher output. 84 stereo samples. (Marimba Lumina=168)


QUICK REFERENCE CHART

1. COOL VIBES 672 stereo samples
2. COMPACT VIBES 336 stereo samples
3. PEDAL VIBES 336 stereo samples
4. ECONOMY VIBES 168 stereo samples
5. MICRO VIBES 84 stereo samples
6. SOFT VIBES 168 stereo samples (ML=336)
7. SPACE VIBES 84 stereo samples (ML=168)
8. OCEAN VIBES 84 stereo samples (ML=168)

All the Best

[Hans Adamson]

Thanks Holger!

I appreciate it. images/icons/smile.gif

Hans

[thesoundsmith]

After playing with Cool Vibes for a few days, I have to say I\'m really impressed! I have probably 4 other choices; this is the only one with the depth and tube resonance I associate with a great vibes sound.

Just one question, Hans - why no motor-off samples (or am I missing something?)

Dasher

[Hans Adamson]

Disregard

[Hans Adamson]

Thanks Dasher,

I agree, that in retrospective, it would have been relatively easy, and providing strength to the library to include sustained samples without the motor engaged.

My goal going into the session was to create a sample that would recall Milt Jackson, and the medium speed tremolo he was using. (The motor speed is modeled after his recordings.)

In retrospect of course it would have been a valuable option, but it would have made the library almost twice the size.

Great Piano...
I received my MAG two days ago.Sounds beatiful.. I`m using in a new project. I\'ll try to import to exs 24 on Mac. I had troubles importing the files, with stuffit 7.0.1 , I\'ll try the 7.0.3.. If you programm for Exs 24 let us now..
Thanks for the webstore.

[MrArkadine]

Hans,

I placed my order for your Malmsjo today. I knew about your piano before, and liked its character very much. But a sale like this made me wake up to the fact that I needed to get it. Can\'t wait to receive that beauty!
Thanks for the sale.

Ruben

[Hans Adamson]

Luigi,

Cool Vibes includes patches with different stage setups: Left, Right, Center, Wide, Collapsed. These perspectives are programmed within GigaStudio. The recording itself was done rather close.

To determine wether the instrument is suitable for your music, check out the demos.

Thanks Jose!

To extract the compressed files on a Mac, first copy the file onto your desktop. Double-click on the Stuffit icon, so that the \"Drag and Drop\" window opens.

Then drag the compressed file over the window, and drop it. Stuffit will recognize the compressed RAR-file, and decompress it.

About the EXS24 format: I received a EXS24 file for the Malmsjö sample from Midphase the other day. I haven\'t had any chance to test it yet, since I do not own the EXS sampler. Let me know if you would like to try it.

Well, perhaps a future update? Then we could edit the GIG files and use mod wheel to turn the motor on and off...<font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana, Arial\">The chances of this working are slim to none. Getting the imaging to match up in disparate stereo recording sessions is virtually impossible, unless you literally do not move the microphones. Even if you spike everything, you can get a radically different stereo image from just one tiny degree\'s difference in microphone angle.

Especially with a room-engaging timbre like vibraphone, you\'d have to re-record the vibrato samples in order to update the library successfully with interchangeable vib/non-vib behaviors.

I\'d say enjoy it for what it is...a really nice, jazzy sound that does one thing very, very well.

It could certainly also be used in an orchestral setting. You\'d want to collapse it to mono and process it with your upstage instruments in order to give it the proper size.

[thesoundsmith]

The chances of this working are slim to none. Getting the imaging to match up in disparate stereo recording sessions is virtually impossible, <font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana, Arial\">Yeah, Bruce, I know. I realized immediately after posting, that stood about a snowball\'s chance - but who knows? Maybe he still had the vibes set up in the studio, and the masking tape on the floor...

But you\'re right, I\'ll use it for what it is, a great vibe lib, and enjoy it.

Dasher

[Hans Adamson]

Rich,
I\'ll e-mail you.

Ruben,
Thanks!

Dasher,
I am glad you liked it, and unfortunately Bruce is absolutely right. It was recorded in a studio in Stockholm, and I didn\'t use masking tape...

Can anyone test the import of the Cool Vibes into EXS24mkII? I\'m really tempted to buy it, but i wonder about compatibility...

Thanks in advance :-)

[Hans Adamson]

Hello Jose,

I am looking into why the file names get scrambled in Stuffit. When I tested on our compressed 2.0 update files there were no such problems. You are the second customer using Mac that has come across this problem, and I have verified it now.

Stuffit is adding extra characters to the end of the file names. When it comes to the .wav-files, everything that is added after the file extension \"wav\" need to be deleted.

In the Malmsjö Acoustic Grand folder, there should be a folder called \"Malmsjö Acoustic Grand Samples\". This folder should contain 377 individual samples named such as:
\"0_A0.wav\", \"1_A0.wav\", \"10_B0.wav\",
\"100_A#2.wav\"...etc.


The nki files should be:

Malmsjö Acoustic Grand.nki
Malmsjö Acoustic Grand X.nki
Malmsjö Rock Grand.nki
Malmsjö Dream Grand.nki
Malmsjö Mozart Grand.nki
Malmsjö Midnight Grand.nki

Because of this renaming, Kontakt may ask you to manually locate the samples the first time. If you save it then, Kontakt will know where to find them next time.

I got Cool Vibes in the mail today and imported it into EXS-24 with no problems. It seemed to take a lot longer to convert than any other giga library I\'ve used before but it turned out fine so it\'s cool. Excellent work Hans. The pedal vibes are so beautiful. It makes me wish I had a surround system hooked up to my computer.

I have found out that the letter \"ö\" is causing the problems with Stuffit. This letter will be replaced with a regular \"o\" from now on.

[BluesWest]

Still waiting to hear whether anyone has succesfully imported either the piano or vibes into Kontakt or HALion. I\'d like to purchase both libraries, but need that information before doing so.

[esteso]

Yes, hello.... I have imported the Malmso (or however it\'s spelled) into Kontakt and it works like a dream.

It\'s just like Hans has said. If you delete all the characters after the suffixes .wav and .nki Kotakt will see the files. All you have to do is point to the first sample and Kontakt will remember the path. This is on a Mac. You must use Stuffit 7.03.

But by the time you read this Hans has probably fixed it and got some updated Cds out for Mac users.

HTH

[Aaron Levitz]

And, this would be why I need to check in here more often. Very nearly missed out on an amazing deal!

Anyway, my MAG order\'s in. Like so many others, I\'ve been in love with the sound forever but needed a compelling reason to justify buying another piano. This sale provides that, and I\'m sure I\'ll be kicking myself over all the lost time I could have had with your library if I had just given in sooner.

[DrDeltaM]

Just ordered the Cool Vibes images/icons/smile.gif

[Hans Adamson]

Thanks all of you!

Michael,

I found that the letter \"ö\" in folder names caused Stuffit to add characters to the file names when decompressed.

This character is now removed.

Also, a reminder that this is the last day of the sale.
