we are very happy to release OSR 2 today.
We needed some “extra” time for additional recording-sessions with the orchestra to bring some
of our visions into OSR 2. But now it is here and IÒ‘ve made a short “run thrugh the new
features & patches” on youtube.
The update will not include additional basic-runs, because OSR has a huge amount of pre-recorded
runs. We decided to come up with some improvements for more flexibility and some new artics.
WeÒ‘ve recorded fast legato-performances for our new playable runs patches for violins+violas and
celli+basses. We divided the musicians into two groups of players. A multiscript will make
natural tuning- and timing-discrepancies possible. But youÒ‘ve control over all of these things.
For this new runs-patch (legato-performances up to the fifth) we have recorded everything twice
for repetitions and the multiscript will make 4 roundrobins possible.
The cool thing is, that the second group of these divided section will have a slightly,
randomized delay.
We worked pretty much on our RUNS BUILDER concept. RUNS BUILDER 2 will now allow additional
scales like whole tone or octatonic and of course chromatic-options. For this we have also
recorded additional samples.
There are also some new extras like the new recorded sustains xfade instruments, marcatos or
our new tempo-synced measured short tremolos (doubles and triples).
Whats new in OSR 2.0
Violins
Changes on Violins RUNS-BUILDER:
Scale-Options
special scales like octatonic, whole tone or chromatic are now possible
tempo-options for every single slot
Triplets half and doubled are now possible in tempo-settings
Tempo fine-adjustments are now implemented for every single slot
New recorded samples makes special-scales like chromatic possible
Tempo-issue in 16th figure and 16th-up figure fixed
New Instrument: Violins Measured Short Tremolos (tempo synced)
Doubles
Triples
Violins+Violas
New Instrument: RUNS TRANSITIONS PATCH 2.0
complete new samples and concept
sampled in two different divisi-groups and special techniques to create realistic smearing
runs.
A multi-script controls natural timing- and tuning-discrepancys
Every legato-transition is recorded in two repetitions and two velocity layers A special group-repetition-script archieve four unique round-robins which makes fast ostinatos really realistic without loosing the real legato-transitions.
longer samples than in the first RUNS TRANSITIONS PATCH makes slower movements possible.
A “non legato” option is build in to make ostinatos much more realistic
(with this you can put “off” the legato-transition e.g. for the first note of an
ostinato-sequence)
New Instrument: Violins+Violas Marcato (with 2 roundrobins)
New Instrument: Violins+Violas Sustained Xfade
completely new recorded samples with one more velocity layer
