Alongside the more usual section-based instruments, UVI has included accordion, guitar and harp samples, all of which demonstrate similar credentials with regular and abstract playing techniques. Quite apart from the considerable content, we have to conclude that IRCAM Solo Instruments 2 comes into its own in two distinct areas. Firstly, the dryness of the samples, which can at feel unforgiving on first listen but will quickly endear themselves.
This is another fine example of solo instrument modelling with a complete set of extended articulations, geared towards contemporary styles of music. Longer sampled notes nestle alongside more outlandish playing techniques, which offer versatility for anyone yearning for modern sounds.

IRCAM Solo Instruments 2 - The Avant-Garde Solo Instrument Collectionwww.uvi.net/ircam-solo-instruments-2Featuring 16 orchestral instruments and 550+ traditional and experimental techniques performed by professional instrumentalists and recorded in the IRCAM Institute, this collection offers unparalleled depth, detail and creative sound resource.
Featuring over 550 different playing styles performed by professional instrumentalists and recorded in the world-renowned IRCAM Institute, IRCAM Solo Instruments 2 presents a vivid and detailed exposé of 16 orchestral instruments.
We might perhaps work on an Opusmodus sound set together. I will only use a few instruments (currently I just need the cello), but would like to make a wide range of techniques available in Opusmodus. However, instrument key-switches etc. hopefully share patterns, so once one instrument is reasonably covered it should be possible to scale that at least for the other instruments in the same family.
One problem might be that they keep standard (what they call classic) and extended techniques in separate key-switch groups (and even subgroups), so one might need multiple sampler instruments on different MIDI channels to cover a single acoustic instrument. Not sure whether it would be necessary in Opusmodus then also to have different instruments. I guess currently that would be necessary, as currently AFAIK in Opusmodus a single instrument can only be allocated to a single MIDI channel (different articulations cannot be assigned to different MIDI channels, at least not yet).
Featuring 16 instruments and over 550 playing styles recorded at the renowned IRCAM Institute,IRCAM Solo Instruments 2 is a unique and extensive instrumental resource for those looking take theircomposition, sound design and music production into new territory. Explore instruments you know andlove in a completely new way with sophisticated performance controls and a massive library blendingtraditional techniques with unusual and experimental playing styles and articulations, all available ata press of a key thanks to enhanced keyswitch groups. With IRCAM Solo Instruments 2 you can nowplay stringed instruments naturally with virtual hand positioning implemented on-the-fly, and achieve agreater sense of expressive control and feedback with native MPE and Polyphonic Aftertouch support.

HiI am doing the one month trial of Dorico 3.Will it work with the IRCAM solo instruments ?If yes, how do I set it up ?I have searched the forum for Ircam and found nothing.ThanksPeter
I now want to try Dorico with the IRCAM solo instruments which are already installed on the PC.I have previously used the IRCAM sounds with Sibelius by setting up a different staff for each instrumental sound.
Featuring over 550 different playing styles performed by professional instrumentalists and recorded in the world-renowned IRCAM Institute, IRCAM Solo Instruments 2 presents a vivid and detailed exposé of 16 orchestral instruments. Each instrument includes both standard playing styles and numerous advanced and experimental articulations, providing a sophisticated and creative sound resource for modern composers and producers looking for more natural, varied and unique instrumental sounds.
I managed to get ircam-solo-instruments into the whitelist as advised above, and have managed to get some sounds playing back.but I get the impression that at the moment I will need to split the music into lots of staves, each of which plays back a different technique.I cannot yet see how to switch articulations during the playback.
Sib. 7.5: IRCAM solo instruments Posted by Matthew Hindson - 01 Jan 11:06PM Hide picture Has anyone used this library with Sibelius? -tools/ircam-solo-instruments.htmlSeems to be extremely high quality, from the audio demos on the page.
