Demo Notes

All processed demos created entirely by using FORTI and/or SERTI with the Vienna Suite Convolution Plugin (and the VSL Limiter already included in the Vienna Suite). 
The limiter was used on some tracks only to quickly adapt output level, not for coloration. 
No other plug-ins (either 3rd party or VSL) were used unless specifically indicated.

FORTI used to create different timbre for VSL 2nd Violins

Here are 2 video demos using FORTI (both less than 1 minute long) that also includes the settings to transform the sound of the 1st violins into a 2nd violin timbre.  The 2nd violins should have a slightly different tone than the first violins. What is interesting is that the mixing of the wet and dry signals (with no reverb added) does not add a flanging component to the sound which is why this works musically. One video uses the VSL Orchestral Violins and the 2nd video includes Appassionata violins. 

Another option for distinguishing the 1st and 2nd violins is to use the setting shown in the videos but mute the dry level so that only the wet level is heard. This is the FilmEq sound which is fuller and warmer tone that works well for harmony parts.

This process can also be applied to LASS violins or any other string libraries.

Using FORTI and SERTI to add warmth to LASS

Numerical Sound Reverb and Timbral Impulses from FORTI and SERTI brings warmth of LASS to a new level. This string demo by James Semple was processed with FORTI & SERTI and Vienna Suite (Convolution Reverb & Limiter were used). The processing was done in Logic 9 - here is a link to a pdf with details on the mixing with screen shots of the plugin settings used http://www.numericalsound.com/documents/TheLastHope_MixDetails.pdf 

The Film Eq Timbral Impulse (from FORTI) adds warmth and openness to the sound by emphasizing the harmonics over the bowing noise as well as adding scale consistency to each string instrument. In effective making a close mic'ed recording sound like the mic's recorded the strings farther back in the hall - but still dry sonically. 

Each Film Eq uses Orch2 Timbral Impulses which can be applied to any non-VSL string library. While all the Film Eq’s Timbral Impulses can be applied to non-VSL libraries - the FORTI Film EQ's are optimized precisely and specifically for each of the VSL String Libraries. 

A parametric notch at 93Hz was applied to all examples to reduce the resonance slightly. 

This processing (all except the notch at 93Hz) is unique and cannot be accurately duplicated by any other plugin in the marketplace. 

Audio Examples 

1)  Original but with no Film Eq or TILT Filter Timbral Impulses 
2) With Film Eq and TILT Filter Timbral Impulses 
3) Same as example 2 but with SERTI’s Bass Enhancement Timbral Impulse 


As you can hear in example 3 without the loss of subtle nuance, a common challenge for sampled orchestrations, the SERTI bass enhancement process adds a solidity and substance. SERTI preserves clarity, adds warmth which enhances the expressiveness and makes it a practical option for preserving the qualities of a finely tuned arrangement. 

I would recommend listening on headphones the examples in full in the order listed then bring all three into a sound editor and play the same section (2-4 seconds max) on all three exampled in order to hear the timbal differences. 

Hear is a link to a movie that plays several short excerpts from the James Semple piece "The Last Hope". First the original followed by the FORTI & SERTI processed version in quick alternating succession. The should make it easier to clearly hear the sonic differences. The film is under 1 minute in length
