Hello,
 
I a newbie and I am trying to figure out all these acronyms for plug-ins like Dimension Pro.. I could really use some help.
 
i.e.
 
mf
amp
p
mv
mw
vm
1v, 2v, 3v 4v, 
rt
RGC
RN
CB
FG
and on and on and on.
 
Thanks in Advanced
Matt
 

Yeah, it can be daunting. Acronym confusion is not unique to DimPro. You might find Simon Cann's "Cakewalk Synthesizers" helpful. It does cover other Cakewalk synths too. The chapters on DimPro and SFZ are pretty good. Some acronyms may always be assumed like RGC, Rene Ceballos the man responsible for DimPro, sfz and so much more.

I can clear up one acronym. "i.e." means "id est" (Latin) and is translated as "that is" or "in other words."
 
Since you listed examples, I think you really meant to say "e.g.," which means exempli gratia and comes before a list of examples, as in, "Enter your two-digit state code, e.g., TX, MN."
 
Unfortunately, I don't know anything about Dimension Pro acronyms.
 
Sorry.  I am in a stupid mood, but at least my four semesters of Latin accomplished something.
 
 

Some of those in the presets are the names of the programmers - FG for example.  He makes good ones.

I've developed a dislike of TLAs over the years.
 
Regards,

I haven't used Dim Pro much and haven't re-installed it after I did an OS upgrade, so I can't be sure but I think...
 
mw = Modulation Wheel (I'm sure about this)
1v = One Voice (timbre)
mf = Mezzo Forte
p = Pianissimo

I can help with:
mv, they're my initials. Sorry I couldn't help it.

mf = mezzo forte, or moderately-loud, referring to how the instrument was played when the samples were recorded
 
amp = may refer to the instrument being recorded through an amplifier, e.g. a guitar patch can be either direct or amped, or it could indicate a patch whose amplitude is controlled by the mod wheel
 
p = pianissimo, referring to the low-velocity articulation played for the samples (Italian for "soft")
 
mv indicates a patch where the modwheel controls volume, useful for orchestral sounds
 
mw = mod wheel, indicates a patch where the mod wheel does something, usually a filter
 
vm = (guess) refers to the vector mixer, which lets you crossfade between the 4 elements
 
1v, 2v, 3v 4v, refers to the number of stacked voices or velocity layers
 
rt = release trigger, meaning a release sample is played on release of a note
 
RGC is the name of the one-man company that created several of CW's synthesizers, and the initials of its designer, Rene G. Ceballos. He worked on Rapture, Pentagon and Z3ta+ as well as Dim Pro (and several others)
 
CB, RN, FG = the initials of various sound designers
 

Bitflipper nailed this.  Here's an old post of mine with some addtional information and guessing (sim, m3, 4th).

CB, RN, FG = the initials of various sound designers

RN = Ruben Nievas (talented composer and friend of RGC)
FG = Frank Genus (ToTc at kVr and Pro-Sounds)
CB = Chad Beckwith (ex-[Cakewalk] and FiSound developer, to name two)

Good sleuthing, b. I'd have never figured out who those initials actually belong to.
 
On a tangential topic, how about the mystery abbreviations in SampleTank, anyone?
JZ
2D
Dn = down-stroke? 
3Dyn
MP
Cln NB
D6
LP
