V-Machine

[AzureCrystal]

Here is a short video playing some piano using the V-Machine with one of the included piano plugins, before I shot this I upgraded my firmware to v2008 1219, then I changed the buffer setting on the patch down to 128 samples(per Danny's suggestion after I cried about the latency being too high), whatever they did, this firmware upgrade sounds much better ! As you will hear in the video, even playing big arpeggios, chord blocks, and playing fast while holding the sustain did not choke the V-Machine, Hooray !!


Pardon my chunky playing, its been a while.....

Pretty impressive (both the V-machine's performance as your playing)! I wonder how well NI Akoustik Piano would do, as I really like the sound of that VST.

Great demo and nice playing. I don't own one of these but I am watching closely.

Thanks for the kind words, all the credit goes to the V-Machine, as you can see, the V-Machine with the new firmware can handle a piano plugin, as far as I could hear it did fine polyphony wise and negligible latency. Would be cool to try other piano plugins although the only other one I have is the Steinway in Garritan Personal Orchestra, haven't tried that one yet.

I know the NI products all have excellent very efficient CPU consumption, I bet the NI Akoustik Piano would work fine with the V.

Do you mind if we add it to the V-Machine channel on youtube?

Not at all, users should know you can in fact play piano plugins with the little beast !

Got my new V-Machine yesterday. The piano sounds are very good. Can easily do solo gigs with the V. Can't wait to get the USB EWI and use it with the V. Later, Ray

Just one thing I will quickly suggest(I have before but I will write it again) all the Sample Tank levels in the plugin itself are set to 64, you can easily increase to 100 (this is not the volume in the VFX mixer but in the sample tank plugin itself) it will give you better dynamic range.

Thanks for the level info. I accidently deleted the first piano sample, (acoustic grand 2), and can't load it back. I must be missing a step somewhere. Can I get a step by step process of getting it back? The manual doesn't help much. Thanks, Ray

I did the same exact thing !! Would like to restore mine as well..

Sure...
on 1219 firmware/software
On the VFX application you do:
(as long as you still have the Bank and preset info on the application I hope, otherwise you can re-install the app which will put all the default preset and banks back for you)

Just do EXPORT V-MACHINE and save it on a stick (format stick is FAT32)
Start up your V-Machine and after it boots-up insert the stick, select the Bank or Preset you want to import into the V-Machine, (the banks on the stick have a [] around the name and they are at the end of the internal banks.

Menu, Left Click, you will see IMPORT function.

Also in future for questions such as this the support ticket system on the SMPROAUDIO website would probably give you an answer very quickly as well (and this information is up there as far as I know).

Thank you VFXAU. Later, Ray

the opensource vsti's from mda (http://mda.smartelectronix.com/) works fine with the "v".

Hi ZioKiller,

I've tried to sample my Ivory with your Samplelord/EXSC-Method. It all worked fine - with one exception: The Samples were only 1,24 Seconds long - although I've adjusted the Hold/Release-Time as you said. What did I do wrong?
