Requirements and Installation
Step 1 – Authorize your library
The first thing to do is make sure you have an iLok ID and that it is the
correct one. If you never used iLok, just go to the ilok.com website and
create a free account.
You will be asked to enter a user ID, this is what you will need to enter
later on the authorization page. This will also be the ID you will need to get
connected to the iLok license manager.
On the download/serials page, you can find the serial number associated with
your library, it should look like this: PROASXX-XXXXXXX.
You can click on the authorize button or copy it and go to this page:
http://acousticsamples.net/index.php?route=account/authorizeIlok you can
find the link in the top menu under account as well as on the “my account”
page. Of course you need to be logged in to view this page.
Now enter the serial number in the serial number box (it will be filled
already if you used the authorize button) as well as your iLok id. The iLok id
is the username you use to log into your iLok account, don’t confuse it with
the number written on the key.
Then simply hit the authorize button and wait a little. At the end of this
process, you will see a message telling you if the authorization was
successful. You will also get a confirmation email.
Sometimes the iLok servers will not respond and you will get a blank page, in
this case, please contact us and we will proceed to the authorization for you
manually.
Step 2 – Download and extract your libraries
Registering your serial number will generate your download links, they will be
create and available on the downloads/serials page.
The files are delivered in RAR format and sometimes these files are split (for
the large libraries).
You need to use winrar on windows or UnrarX on mac
(www.unrarx.com or directly here) to extract them,
other softwares will probably not extract the files properly, we use the
recovery functions of Rar (to avoid download corruption) and these two
softwares are are the only ones to handle it properly. If there are multiple
parts (part01.rar, part02.rar), you need to put them all in the same folder
before extracting. If the extraction gives you errors, then your download did
not complete or got corrupted, you need to download it again.
Step 3 – Download and install UVI Workstation
Download and install the UVI workstation (our free sample player) from here:
http://www.acousticsamples.net/uviworkstation.
Make sure you download the right version for your system, if you are on
windows 64, but use a daw that only allows for 32bits plugins, you need to
install the 32bits version of UVI Workstation.
Follow the step 4 to learn how to load a library into UVI Workstation.
Step 4 – Transfer the license to your iLok key/computer
The license manager is installed with UVI Workstation, so you just need to
launch it from you applications.
Now make sure that your iLok key is plugged into your computer if you want to
use it or just ignore this if you want to use the computer based
authorization.
Click on Sign in and enter your iLok information, you will see the list of
available licenses and your computer and iLok keys on the left panel.
Now all you need to do is just drag and drop the license to your iLok key or
your computer to authorize one or the other.
Step 5 – Load your library and start playing
Now just open UVI Workstation in Standalone or one of the plugin formats in your sequencer. There are two ways of loading the library.
- You can open the browser and navigate to the ufs file manually.
- You can place the UFS in the default UVI folder: [Startup disk]:Library: Application Support: UVISoundBanks (on Mac) and C:\Program
- Files\UVISoundBanks (on Windows). You can also drop a shortcut to this file in this location, provided it has the same name.
- The best practice is to have all of your UFS in a folder and let the UVI workstation index it. Simply go into the preferences/soundbanks and then add your UFS folder. If the authorization has been done, it will mount the UFS automatically (if automount is selected) or index it in the search (if the index is selected). The recursive is for subfolders, but too many subfolders can lead to a long indexation/mounting time.
After this, when you start UVI Workstation, you will see the UFS under soundbanks, select it and just double click on the m5p file, it will load the library and you will be able to start playing.
Interface and Parameters
Petit Piano is a small 50 keys children piano.
This piano is manufactured by a french piano manufacturer called “Klein” and
this is the only “Childrens” piano of this size. It features a real wooden
keyboard and a 2 string system which makes it sound close to a full sized
upright piano and not like a toy.
It is a small piano, but we still wanted to make it as realistic as possible,
so we added our top piano features like sympathetic resonances, true pedal
action, or really accurate release samples to get great sounding staccatos. We
recorded 6 velocity layers as well as key noises, resonances, release samples,
pedal noises, etc… and you can control every bit of it using the interface.
Default interface
The default interface gives you access to many parameters.
Volumes:
- The release samples volume.
- The pedal noises volume.
- The keys up volume.
- The pedal down resonances volume.
- The volume of the sympathetic resonances.
- The true pedal action allows you to decide if pressing the pedal down when notes are held with trigger the pedal down and smoothly fade it in, just like on a real piano.
Effects:
- We added a built-in tone control for a brighter or darker sound.
- The reverb is based on high quality impulse responses that you can choose from the interface.
- You also get complete control over the dry and wet volume of the reverb.
Midi:
- The dynamics controls the volume of the low velocities.
- The Vel Curve (Velocity curve) controls how the volume answers to the velocity of your keyboard.
- The MIDI curve controls is a velocity remapper.
Features
- 1.29Gb uncompressed, 247Mb compressed in lossless flac format, around 859 samples.
- 6 Velocity layers for the sustain.
- 6 Velocities for the release.
- Pedal and key noises.
- Pedal down resonances.
- Sympathetic resonances.
- True pedal action.
- Access to impulse response list.
- Tone control.
- Advanced UVI scripting giving you access to a simple yet powerfull interface and advanced features.
