The Sound Board

I need help in understanding one thing that's bothering me right now... I'm trying to load one of the many instruments in the folder "Hollywood strings instruments", not "Hollywood strings Opus instruments". But from the browser I don't see them, but they are clearly there, as I see them in the finder. If I try to load them I get the message "product not supported".
I'm beginning to fear that I haven't bought the Hollywood Strings Diamond but just the Opus instruments... is that so (Jay?). I still hope I simply haven't understood the workings of Opus otherwise I'm missing a lot of content, some even basic like non-vibrato samples.
I hope someone can lighten me on this, thank you

Roberto

To the best of my understanding...

Nothing from the original Hollywood series is readable by Opus. BUT you're not missing anything - all the Opus versions are is the old stuff repackaged for Opus. IIRC there's less patches, but again you're not missing content, it's just better organised with less superfluous versions with minor variations.

You may be right Guy still I needed a non vibrato patch for the strings and couldn’t find any. They must have thought it was superfluous… while the old library had NV-VIB patches in various configurations

Yes, pretty sure it's mapped so you have vib control on CC1 (wish it was literally any other controller, but you can remap it of course).

yes! Thank you so much Guy, you're right, vibrato is assigned to modwheel. I thought it was controlling dynamics... so apparently all the samples are there, thank you again

Remember that the EW Installation Center is your friend. It allows you to see what you have downloaded and if it is missing any sample content, move it, or re-download it,

yes it said everything had been downloaded, my problem was I couldn't find the way to load the legacy patches, which turned out not being necessary...
