Orchestral tools Berlin Free Orchestra

Post by cuttime »

I'm sure many of you know about the BFO, but I'd like to add that the Cubase Expression maps from the Cubase template import fine and seem to work perfectly with DP's articulation maps.

I was skeptical, but the 2 hour video takes a few minutes to get and in the first 15 minutes there are some useful instructions on setup. The point is to flog plugins, but they don't seem necessary to get something out of it.

Yeah... I haven't looked at it. Just passing it along in case anyone wanted to check it out.

Cheers,

…string theory says that all subatomic particles of the universe are nothing but musical notes. A, B-flat, C-sharp, correspond to electrons, neutrinos, quarks, and what have you. Therefore, physics is nothing but the laws of harmony of these strings. Chemistry is nothing but the melodies we can play on these strings. The universe is a symphony of strings and the mind of God… it is cosmic music resonating through 11 dimensional hyperspace.
