BBCSO Core Multi channel Output Setup Help Please?

C_Black

Hi,

I am totally new to this library and forum, so 'hello'.

I purchased SO Core yesterday night, and as expected, I am now totally lost. I would like primarily to find out if this Vst Plug-In can be added as one instance on a master track, and then have it create sub midi channels like you are able to do with Kontakt? I am not sure of the implications for CPU and Ram loads if I use a separate instance of Core for each instrument track I wish to have in any composition.

I have read the manual, and I am checking YouTube extensively, but I can't seem to get at the information I need. I did however find a post by someone suggesting that you can enable this functionality by editing the 'mic output' section of the Vst interface. But when I loaded Core into Cubase and I couldn't see that particular 'Mic setup area' anywhere?

Please if possible can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

Cliff

Hi Cliff

Welcome to the forum.

Spitfire's player cannot be setup as a "multi". You must use separate instances for each instrument though you could use keyswitches or articulation maps to change articulations.

I don't use keyswitches myself and prefer separate instances for each articulation. It doesn't appear to impose any great strain on the system.

There is no mic mixing in BBCSO Core. It just has one curated mix. (The pro version has several mics which you can mix to your own taste. You can't make a multi with Pro either).

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Steve

Hello Steve,

Thank you very much. You totally answered all my concerns, that's great. I know how to save on RAM, by removing unwanted presets, so I guess that should be enough to conserve resources.

Thanks again,

Cliff.

Hi @C_Black

Just to add to Steve's answer above, here is an example of how one might use the Multi Timbral feature in Pro (or any plugin library that has mic signals available such as ARO, ART, and Eric Whitacre).
