Submitting VSL Reaticulate banks for the userbanks page #110

Closed seventh-sam closed 4 years ago

seventh-sam commented 4 years ago

I've created a large reaticulate.reabank file for the following libraries that I would like to submit to the user banks section of this Github:

Link to detailed instructions on the set-up here: https://www.vsl.co.at/community/posts/t53083-Comprehensive-Articulation-Management-System-for-VSL-Libraries--for-REAPER-users#post287931

Files here: VSL Libraries - Reaticulate Banks JUNE 2020.zip

Thanks!

Holy crap, this is a Herculean effort! Almost 20k lines, wow! Did you hand sling this entire thing, or write a program to generate it? :)

I'm thinking I may slice and dice your monolithic bank into smaller consumable units. Would this best be done based on how you itemized them above? Generally it makes sense to separate things out based on how the libraries are sold, although given the sheer number of banks in your submission, grouping by family like that may be more approachable.

Thoughts?

I did the whole thing by hand, with the help of a podcast or two (or ten). :-) Speaking of herculean effort, I really can't thank you enough for all of your effort in making Reaticulate. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's completely changed how I work and I can't imagine making music without it. Thank you, thank you, thank you SO much. If there's anything I can do to help (other than recommend it to people and upload banks I make), please let me know.

As for these banks, I think your idea is a good one. VSL sells their products on a mostly instrument to instrument basis (hence the enormous amount of banks), so slicing it down into the individual product lines would generate something like 40+ files and make the github list waaaaaaay too long. I think grouping them by families and labeling them as such (i.e. All VI Woodwind libraries, All VI Brass libraries, etc.) makes more sense. The user will have to search the file for the relevant banks they own and copy and paste, but they'd have to do that anyway with what I made...

I'd be happy to do this! Shall I go ahead and re-submit that way?

That would be extremely appreciated! Thanks terribly, @seventh-sam

Alright, here you go! Sorry that took so long...

VSL Libraries - Brass.zip VSL Libraries - Keyboards.zip VSL Libraries - Percussion.zip VSL Libraries - Strings.zip VSL Libraries - Various Synchronized.zip VSL Libraries - Woodwinds.zip

The original post's description and links should suffice for explaining the content of each zip file. Even so, I've included a README in each one.

Let me know if you need anything else!

Thanks @seventh-sam, I've committed the banks now. I decided not to also include all the VI presets in the git repo here but added the link to all the banks.

Thanks tremendously for this contribution! It will be a great help to many.
