Thank you for this useful Explanation. Purchased this tool a few days ago and I am still learning how to use it. The Midi composing within a DAW is a bit tricky here.
+1 on your suggestion at the end and as a software developer myself I also agree that it wouldn't be that difficult to do. Probably creating an instance of an object of the style class for both the high and the low parts.
Learned quite a few new tricks by watching your explanation. (I happened to have this VST too, but almost forgot about it since I got EastWest Opus...) Thanks again!
@LindaMissad I came to this video to see how interesting ujam striiings was and I went to your channel, not sure why but found the MOST BEAUTIFUL piece of music you have written called REMEMBERING YOU with only 2 views. Seriously, that 3.09 needs to be heard. I was truly moved, so very very beautiful, thank you Linda
A question: Ijust went to the "Key" Feature as I like compose in Dm, but all I see is the Major keys. How do I find minor keys in the Key icon on STRIIINGS?
I dont like orchestration/drum machines...but this one is darn interesting... so many things that can inspire you... i wonder how much time you would use it before you feel its warn out and everything sounds similar already. There are lot of possibilities..but still its limiting the imagination in a way ...on the other hand it tickles it :D
You can change the preset when you like, but that would probably cause a slight hickup while loading, even if quick. But you can change the patterns anytime with the keyswitches, no problem. My advice is: different patches on different tracks, but each track will then have many variations of that patch via keyswitches. Having more than 1-2 instruments at the same time probably will be too much, so you most likely don't need more than that, considering that the patches are ensembles and quite complete in the orchestration. There will be a risk of a too muddled of a sound if using too many patches at the same time.
@@SecondTierSound ty for the quick and detailed answer. my fault was trying to change the phrase bei clicking with the mouse as i only have a short midi keyboard.
You probably want to program it in the midi editor then. But also, you can use the octave button on your keyboard to reach the lower keys where the keyswitches are located.
Perhaps I wasn't so clear in the video. The chords follow the diatonic major scale of the key. First chord is major, second minor, third minor, fourth major, and so on. In c, for example, it is c major, d minor, e minor, f major etc. If you want minor scales you have to use the parallel key. For example a minor is the same as c major, but starts on a. In that case you would choose the key of c and start on a.
That is a good solution of course, but it would be better with one instance. I've noticed the instrument becomes unstable when you load several instances. I've told Ujam about this.
