ST2.1 Library and deleting the ST2.0 Library

[DarkStar]

Hi all,

Well, after a while I decide to tidy up my disks.I had installed the ST2.1 Library alongside the ST2.0 Library and have now decided to delete the old ST2.0 Library.

But first, I thought I would compare the two to see what had changed. This info might be interesting/helpful to others:

As an aside, I have found that files ending .stv is produced when ST2 runs a "pre-analysis" on an instrument. (see section 7.3 in the ST2.2 manual)

Now what I found for the Libraries:
Bass
- all OK,
- the Afro Bass preset (part of Muted J Bass) was renamd to Funkman,
- there are some more presets

Brass - is split into 2 folders, Brass and Winds, in v2.1
- 2.1 did not contain the Full Brass Section, so I copied over the three files. Its 3 presets Brass of Brass, Punchy Brass, Swell Brass Section were already in v2.1,
- 2.1 did not contain the Saxophones section so I copied its 3 files into Winds; I also moved its Saxahornz preset from v2.1 Brass to Winds'
- 2.1 did not contain the Tenor Sax 2 so I copied its 3 files to Winds, and also its 3 presets, StreJazz Tenor, Tenna Tube Le, Wiiild Night,
- 2.1 did not contain the Tenor Sax 3 so I copied it to Winds and also its 8 presets - Bend 5 Tenor, Beyond Synthsax, Reedtronic Synth, SaxSynth, SaxSynth 2, Squirly Corner Sax, Sull tree Sax, Tenor Up Sax
- 2.1 did not contain the Trombone section so I copied its 3 files to v2.1 Brass; its Thick Trombones preset is already there
- 2.1 did not contain the Trumpets Solo 2, so I copied its 3 files to v2.1 Brass; its 3 presets, Hassle Isham, Le Salsa Quesadilla, Trumpet Up are already there,

Brass - phrases - all OK,
Drums - Acoustic - all OK, many more presets in v2.1,
Drums - Electronic - all OK,
Ethinc - some new Instruments, pipa, qudi, yangqin, zheng, and many new presets,
Guitar - acoustic - all OK,
Guitar - electric - all OK, more presets,
Loop - all Ok, the Percussion Sliced Instruments were added in v2.1,

Orchestra
- one new instrument in v2.1- harpsichords 2,
- v2.1 did not contain the Brassy Ztringz preset, so I copied it over. But it belongs to the Comp String Orchestra instrument, rather than the Brassy Strings instrument which seems a bit odd.
- Ensem Strings has been renamed to Trem Ensem Strings in v2.1,
- Staccato String Orch 1 & 2 has been renamed to Legato String Orch 1 & 2, in v2.1,
- Strings FF Trem has been renamed to Oct Strings FF Trem in v2.1,

Organ
- 4 new instruments: Church Organ Full, Full Cathedral Organ, reed Cathedral Organ, Smooth Flute organ,
- some new presets too

Percussion - some new presets

Piano
- Hard Rhodes is renamed to Hard Rds EP in v2.1
- Lite Rhodes is renamed to Lite Rds EP in v2.1
- Rhodes Electric Stage Piano.stw is renamed to Rds EP Stage Piano in v2.1

Strings - All OK, some new presets,
Synth - nearly all OK, some new presets
Synth - piano
- V2.1 did not contain the Synth Ep 2 preset, but it seems to be an orphan, I could not find it associated with any instrument)
Vocals
- 1 new instrument: Oh Baby Stretched,
- V2.1 did not have the Vocals\Phrases folder so I copied it from V2.0 to a new "Vocal Phrases" folder in V2.1 (moving it up a level

If you can foresee any problems, please let me know.

Leave the "old" samples on the HD for those projects that were already started and also installing the new samples is possible, I assume?

Yes, I installed the 2.1 sounds alongside the original library.

I have ST2.2 using the 2.1 library
and ST2.0.9 (in older songs) using the original library (for the moment anyway).

I should have said earlier:
As well as the changes I listed above, many of the sounds were updated, but kept the same names.
