Introduction

  • 9 Articulation just in 1 MIDI track

  • Can shape the head of long notes with individual mix level and slam of short notes
  • Fix bugs coming with the factory, and correct the pitch, time and range of almost each samples
  • To recude the usage of CPU, RAM and DISK, the Ecnomy Mode is implemented
  • Video demo: https://www.bilibili.com/video/av34462624/ (Can be found inside the extra folder)
  • Video guide: check the "1st edition" inside the extra folder, or view the online resource:

Selective Download:

If you have LASS2 & it's sordino library, you just need to download the following contents:

  • Wiki: A link to this page

  • LA Scoring Strings II\setup-win-mac.zip: This resolves all the GUI issue

  • LA Scoring Strings II\Multis*.nkm: Core files you must download

  • Extras: Demo videos, and perhaps template project for Cubase, Reaper, Logic Pro, .... in future

  • Please backup your existing LASS2 if you're worry about anything.

Installation

  • Requires LASS Legato Sordino to load the entire multi (Sordino is included in the bundle edition of UEM v2 provided by eviluess)

  • It should share the same parent folder with the Sordino library (By using the KontaktLibraryRegister, libraries can be stored separately)

  • The Sordino Library must be renamed to "LASS Legato Sordino"

  • Unpack the setup-win-mac.zip and run the setup to copy pictures into Kontakt's directory, otherwise the controls will be nightmare. (You could copy them manually too)

  • Kontakt 5 (5.5.1 or higher) is required. Recommended using the [HD Edition]https://github.com/eviluess/kontakt_hd/wiki/Native-Instruments-Kontakt-with-SymphonicChoirs-HD-Edition-for-Windows)

  • Add 2 Libraries into Kontakt: LA Scoring Strings II and LASS Legato Sordino

Manual:

  • Load XXXXX Ultimate in the multi tab

  • MIDI Input Channel: 16

    For Reaper Users, you can insert the "MIDI Tool" before kontakt to route channels into 16.

Key Switch:

Close to the lowest note of the selected instrument (Different from the demo video)

Absolute Key Switch Assignment:

C: Long Notes with Note Head Shaping

#C: Trill

D: Spiccato

#D:Harmonic (Depending on whether the samples are provided)

E: Staccato

F:Pizzicato

#F:Bartock Bass Pizzicato (Depending on whether the samples are provided)

Velocity alters the specified modes while doing KSW:

When switching to Staccato, Harmonic or Bartok via ksw with velocity over 99, the "Double" switch is also enabled; Otherwise the Double is Off.

When switching to Trill, the Whole mode is activated while the #C's velocity is higher than 99; Otherwise the Half mode is activated.

Controllers (Built-in Controllers are marked with *):

CC7*: Main Volume

CC10*: Pan. Set to 64 if you prefer control position via CC20~CC29

CC1: Adjust the dynamic layers only (ppp ~ fff) for long notes

CC11: Traditional "Expression" Controller

CC12: Adjust the mixing level of Spic

CC13: Adjust the mixing level of Stac

CC14: Adjust the mixing level of long notes

CC70: Crossfade between Sustain and Sordino (0-->127 = Sustain --> Sordino)

CC70: Crossfade between the 1st and the 2nd Chair (0-->127 = 1st --> 2nd), For "FC" Instruments

CC77: Crossfade between Sustain/Sordino and Tremolo (0-->127 = Sustain -->Tremolo)

CC44: Adjust the Slam of Spic

CC45: Adjust the Slam of Stac

CC46: Adjust the Slam of Pizz

CC47: Adjust the Slam of Bartock Pizzicato

  • Use CC 12, 14, 13, 15 to get various note head for long notes

  • When CC14=0, only short notes are mixed

  • To get only spic or stac, ksw is recommended

CC43: Set the max velocity of short notes

CC68: While KSW=C, use this controller to enable the RHYTHM mode of Spic or Stac. (0-63:Off, 64~127:On)

CC2*: Non-Vib ~ Vib (Depending on whether the samples are provided)

CC4: EQ Switch (063:Off, 64127:On)

CC9: Crossfade between Bartok Pizz and Bartok Pizz with EQ enabled (0-->127 = without EQ --> with EQ)

CC9: Select Cello Full Staccato Slam and Loose Version (0-63:Slam, 64~127:Loose)

CC110*: AMG Mode (built-in)

CC111*: Legato Mode (built-in)

CC31: Switch of Economy Mode (063: Off, 64127:On)

In the Economy Mode, the CPU and disk usage could be reduced. Recommended in editing mode.

When the Economy Mode is on, crossfade between Sustain, Tremolo and Sordino will not take effect until the associate controller (#70, #77) is set to between 1~126.

The value of 0 or 127 indicates we don't need crossfading for the coming long notes.

For example, When the Economy Mode is On, if CC77 is 0 before a note (Say C3) is written, then even we write CC77 before C3 ends, the tremolo will not start.

To get crossfade under the Economy Mode, we need to set CC77 to 1 before the note starts.

CC20~29: Controllers in the ARC panel

CC20: Left / Right CC21: Far / Close CC22: Width CC23: Angle CC24: Dry/Wet CC25: Color Knob CC26: Reverb CC27: Stage Switch CC28: Color Switch CC29: FX Switch

The usage of ARC panel is not discussed in this manual

CC3*: Real-time Tuning

CC64*: Force Legato, or the switch of rhythm

CC83*: The speed of portamento and release time for the short notes

CC90*: Turning off the tuning table script

CC121: Reset. Except the Pattern Table. (Can reset Pattern Index to C)

Trill:

  • To activate the Trill Articulation in Whole Mode, just hit the #C in higher velocity (>99)

  • To activate the Trill Articulation in Half Mode, just touch the #C in lower velocity (<=99)

  • To select the key for trill, press C~B below the KSW zone (One octave below KSW)

Selecting Rhythm Pattern:

Press C~B below the KSW zone (One octave below KSW)

To play certain Articulation, send MIDI messages to corresponding channel:

1 Sustain

2 Tremolo

3 Pizzicato

4 Spiccato

5 Staccato

6 Sordino / 2nd Chair

7 Harmonics

8 Trills

9 Bartock Bass Pizzicato

MIDI Learn:

In the tab "LASS2 Enhancer by Evi", a learn button is provided to append secondary controller for the controls in that panel

For Example, after assigning CC18 as the secondary controller to SpicMixLevel (CC12), both CC18 and CC12 controls the SpicMixLevel

While the MIDI learn is activated, press the Economy Button will restore all the controllers.

Do not learn the following controllers and the ones list above to avoid conflicting: CC15, 16, 19, 30, 112

Init Tool:

We could find the init tool inside the 1st of 2nd slot of instrument, the tab called "CCs Init Tool by Eviluess"

Click "Drag to the host to init most main controls" and drop it to the host, the MIDI take containing reset messages will be transferred to the host

To reset more controllers, click More CCS

To reset all controllers, click All CCs

Issues in the previous version have fixed:

  • Spelling errors in UI

  • Missing short notes in ultra-high notes for Violins I&II

Issues in the LASS2 have fixed:

  • Bass 1st and 2nd Chair: The octave glissandi always mute

  • All sample of short notes' pitch and timing are re-tuned

  • Almost all sample of long notes' pitch, timing are also re-tuned

  • Fix the range issue of some instruments
