Sound Variations for EW Opus Not Working.....

Who broke it? EW or Fender? Anyone know if the fix is coming?
 
Details would be good, but since I'm very involved in this topic and know both the responsible developers from Studio Pro and EastWest OPUS, I can say this: Opus currently seems to have an issue related to Sound Variations that will either be fixed in the next update or may already have been fixed in the last few days.
 
Not fixed yet. I used lots EW stuff and its very good, but having the articulations ready to use is a big deal. Not fixed yet, all ready tried, and no update available yet.

Just to make things clear, I highly recommend EW products, they were one of very few iloc/AMD9000 series issues who helped out at the release of the 9000 series when iloc would not run with a 9000 series CPU. It wasn't a regression is was bug that needs to be fixed as it is a time saver for large scores using EW Opus.
 
Hello. I am just getting started with orchestral composition, DAWs, etc.
I tried to get 'articulation switching' to work on Thursday and tried everything (Studio Pro and Opus). It simply didn't work. Tried switching octaves up and down and no switching happened. After hours of trial and error, I finally saw this post and thought that everything was maybe only due to a bug and not me being unable to figure it out. Any ideas if the bug has already been fixed?
 
Not Fixed Yet. Think "very soon" has passed.
 
Same here — does anyone have a download link for Opus version 1.6.2? I can’t find it anywhere, but Keyswitches worked with that version.
 
Just downloaded the newest version and the articulations work. My existing articulations (I created when there was still the bug) now appeared as question marks (the labels for staccato, legato, etc. were transformed into question marks). But when I assign new articulations, they now appear correctly and also play back correctly. As I am just getting started, it is not an issue for me to redo all (10) of them manually. I guess for some people it could be really a hassle if they have to reassign a lot of articulations.
 
I was wondering about the last update before this one. Seems it broke a couple of things, at least. Good to see this working, as setting up a bunch of them is on my ‚to-do‘ list.

Hi Lukas ! As other has already reported , at least for me , it is working perfectly well again , with new articulations, or using the already created in a midi track.

I know you are so busy , and i hope the op also doesn't matter if in a way I will "hijack" the thread but since we are discussing East West libraries and Studio one I've got a question to you regarding Orchetrator and Studio one, if you don't mind and you have the time and will to have a look at it.

In Cubase it is working perfectly well, so if you drag and drop the hand icon your preset will create midi tracks with the selected orchestration preset, all of them, the only caveat is to be certain that in preferences in cubase in midi section, in the import options to select the option "midi tracks" instead of Halion or another specific... Tested and working solid.

Here is a video in case you want to see it perfectly described :

In Studio one ( not upgraded yet, still in ver 7 ) it also works, you drag the hand icon and it creates the tracks with the correct names etc...
BUT i doesn't assign any intrument at all, it just creates midi tracks (with correct midi data on them) but without any instrument assigned..
It is not the end of the world, you can manually assign them one by one but it is tedious.

I deeply search and try any option in studio one but nothing seemed to work , or i wasn't able to find the appropiate one, is there any hidden feature or menu to solve this ?
Or maybe a macro is needed to assign correctly the instrumet to midi tracks, and that's the main reason why I am asking this to you particulary since you are the ultimate studio one's GURU of Macros !!
Or maybe I have to contact EastWest to ask them to create what is needed to work as well as in Cubase.

Thanks in advance for you time, hoping you can throw some light about this issue ...

Been like that forever. It's the same With TOC4 but it doesn't even name the instrument, you have to look at the order the instruments are placed:).
 
Just tried it in FSP and Logic.
FSP, same result as above.
Logic will populate the arrange page with the midi regions and GM midi instruments. Shame. Having this working as it's supposed to would be very cool.
