Sib. 7.5: IRCAM solo instruments
Posted by Matthew Hindson - 01 Jan 11:06PM
Has anyone used this library with Sibelius?

http://www.uvi.net/en/composer-tools/ircam-solo-instruments.html

Seems to be extremely high quality, from the audio demos on the page. However - what's it sound like with the relevant Sibelius sound set, and without hours and hours of tweaking...

Ive been using it for years---I like it very much, but use it only for its off the beaten path articulations, and not its ordinary instrument sounds--

for that I choose XCE, which also has its more than fair share of contemporary articulations (but no brass):

http://www.soundsondemand.com/detail1.asp/best_service_xsample/xce_chamber_ensemble/en

Its worth mentioning that XCE is now priced very low, and there seems to be talk of a problem with the creators splitting up..so Sibelius support might be a problem, but I dont know the truth of this..

ISI(Ircam Solo Instruments) at one time, IMHO had a very good support staff with Alain Etchart--now my recent encounters with support have been horrors.

You might look at this--its from J.Lovings sound set for ISI:

http://static1.soundsetproject.com/downloads/manuals/Ircam_Solo_Instruments_Sound_Set_User_Manual.pdf

It works a little different from other soundsets in that you have to set up (and save)the UVI Workstation with all the articulations your going to use in that piece.


You cant try out ISI, but XCE you can try here:

http://www.try-sound.com

YMMV--hope this helps.

Thanks Bob

Thanks Bob, you are really such a wonderful resource on this list. The Oracle of Morabito, so to speak.

Is there anything you don't know!?!?! :-)

All the instruments from the Xsample chamber Orchestra are now being re-released individually with updated Kontakt scripting. Go to Best Servive for full list.

Dear all (but Bob in particular :-)),

I am considering upgrading to Sib. 2018. Will my ISI (incl. UVI workstation, J. Lovings Sound set), Elite Orchestral Perc and VSL libraries continue to work flawlessly ? Any experiences ?

Thanks !
Joris
