Dimension Pro - I'm a believer!

I just got DMPro and was playing with it last night. I am really impressed with quality of the samples, especially strings, saxes, trumpets, and the entire Garritan pocket orchestra. The percussion and ethnic instruments are wonderful.
I found minor flaws in some of the samples, sounded like loop artefacts. Also, some of the wind instruments don't sustain notes very long. But, I'm sure this can be tweaked.

The MIDI matrix is a genius idea, I love it! You can control multiple parameters with a single CC or the other way around.

I have a lot to learn with this synth.

One thing I notice is that the Garritan instruments don't have any CC asigned to control articulations or expression like GPO has. Are there any suggestion for CC asignments for more expression control?

B rock or anyone else, any tips?

Thanks Rene,

I'm getting an expression/volume pedal for my keyboard, so that will help. I have very minimal experience with editing parameters in soft synths, and this one seems quite complex, but in a good way!
By the way Rene, nice job with Dimension Pro, I love it!

Thanks B rock! I have the Remote49, same thing but more keys...

I read your tutorial before but I haven't tried it, I think is very useful to post stuff like that. I'll give it a try tonight.

I hope DMpro gets more popular so that we start to see libraries from third parties. There's not much talk about it except for the Cakewalk forums. But I think is an excellent synth with a lot of flexibility and potential.

As I said before, I like the sounds a lot, but there are a few glitches and artefacts, a few examples include the solo violin (garritan) some of the higher notes have a background noise that loops. Also some notes in the saxes make noises when using aftertouch (default settings). But I think most of those are minor problems.

The thing that I want to figure out is how to extend the duration of a note, for example, the saxes if you hold the key down you get a sustained note that lasts a few seconds, don't know how long, but I think is too short. Most horn players can blow a note for longer than that.
I read in the manual something about setting loop points with "L", but I cannot figure out how to do it. I'll keep trying, but if you can help me with that I'll appreciate it.

Thanks again B rock,

I didn't know about the "Dimensional Tips". I'll print that and the thread, that should get me started!
