I only have 5 credits left but 69 yampointz.
 
I'd need to buy $250 in credits to "use up" my pointz. I have to get ~750 credits to buy all the remaining odds and sods amplitube extras I don't currently own. Not sure that's worth the effort. It's mostly stomp boxes and such.

That's just round the corner, ya?

Hi all,
 
I'm surprised that I cannot find any info about presets in PM2.  That is, there should be a lot of different types of setups of the instruments for "full" orchestras with popular variations as well as smaller groups such as string quartets in their typical configurations.  I don't want to spend a lot of time having to place each instrument, set its volume level, etc. every time I instantiate PM2.  I anticipate a host of popular configurations to modify. 
 
Furthermore: Given that many users would combine output from PM2 with other sounds for pop, there really should be a large number of these.  For example, a typical orchestra but with a small hole in the stereo field slightly to one side or the other of center; orchestra compressed to the left or to the right, ....  I typically like very wide violins or cellos for pop mixes, completely balanced left to right, not to one side.  It would be nice to have presets that have orchestra percussion set up like typical drum kits for pop in order to simply substitute "kit pieces."
 
Does there exist such a list of presets like this, with descriptive names or other accompanying info to give potential customers some idea of how little or much work is involved in setting up various orchestras and string quartets?
 
Thanks for your attention,
Dave Clark

Maybe Peter (aka: IK Multimeda) will jump in on that question Dave.

Hi bapu,
 
Thanks --- hope so!
 
Another question occurred to me as I was reading the online marketing stuff, possibly also for Peter: Are the keyswitch keys re-assignable?  I don't have C0 or D0 on my main keyboard, for example.  The pics typically show C0 through G0. 
 
Regards,
Dave Clark
 
PS: I asked this particular question also on the IK Multimedia forums, but it appears that questions have gone unanswered for several days there --- and time is running out.

Dave,
 
Doesn't your keyboard have an octave shifter? I have an M-Audio Axiom 61 that allows that. It may not always solve the problem it in many instances it could help.

Given a 61 note keyboard is a bit short for keyswitched instruments I use a 25 key mini key keyboard to supplement my main keyboard.

Thanks, Glyn. I hadn't thought of using two keyboards at once, for that. I am really keen on getting a TeControl Breath and Bite Controller (usb), after watching a number of videos on it. I haven't done much orchestral stuff in a while, but would love to expand there.
.... and will be, I suppose, in a few more days. Though, now that I'm thinking about MP2 and the BBC, I'm impatient! LOL

Thank Jordan Rudess, I saw him using a mini keyboard for kewswitching in a Omnisphere demo video.
