Thank you for this!

Very informative video. Thank you for sharing! If I may ask, how do you tackle the issue where when a midi or instrument track's midi channel is set to "Any", ramps and curves can't be used in the controller lanes? Do you just use multiple points?

Brilliant! :)

all good besides the AI thing

It’s not just the screams, it’s the tone, it’s the wardrobe, it’s Jakey rocking back and forth while leaning, it’s Iosh hand gestures,

Very Very Copied

I have read many times that Allan was influenced by Ollie Halsall and so was Alvin Lee.

Great tutorial. You showed very clearly why choosing the way of working template is so difficult. But it is very important to efficient workflow, specially on bigger projects.

Loved your video. Thanks, so much, for making it happen.

Allan Holdsworth was influenced by saxophone players because he felt the music like that. Every fan knows his story . At the beginning he didn't like the guitar at all . As far as I know he never mentioned a guitarist as an influence

cc as always without an attack on longs... expr maps?

that was a lot of new and important informations. thanks for the good work, really appreciated.

which reverb?

Here's the main difference.... Allan created a sound and entire music theory that NEVER happened before. Bill Connors would NOT sound like he does if he hadn't heard Allan first. I can understand that he loved Holdsworth and was influenced by him but if there was no Allan then Bill would NOT have come up with this. Bottom line is Holdsworth created an entire futuristic music theory and Bill was one of the earliest adopters to learn this theory. I can only WISH that I could learn that theory as well as Bill did. BUT.... there is only one Allan Holdsworth and everyone else is just a simplistic copy.

Thanks! I remember Allan mentioning Steve. Now I finally hear him, thanks! I brought Allan some English ales to a gig in NY State, so we got to hang with him between sets. He was quite shy(!) but very nice. He played like a demon!

I am curious to know how do you balance different publisher libraries together? :)

Love your info, hate the AI voice.

It was great hearing your perspective on these players. I love Alan Holsworth, but I also love Bill Connors. I’m surprised you didn’t play the Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy album when he had Captain Señor Mouse solo on there which I think is incredible. Definitely combination of both players, but like you said, and I agree, Bill Conners has his own silence sound but he did go from hard-core electric guitar playing to classicalacoustic guitar playing and back-and-forth I think because he just is such a serious Musician. He just wants to keep learning new things techniques, etc. were musicians that were allowed to be heard like it was at that time today what an inspiration they were and still are.

My favorites by Bill were two early solo projects for ecm, Theme to the Guardian and Of Mist and Melting. Swimming with a Hole in my Body is good too.

8:15 shifting ahead of beat 10:29 negative track delays (offsets for different articulation) 13:05 independent articulation per track 13:53 triggering choices 14:17 velocity triggering 15:15 problem with key switching on same midi track 16:40 lots of midi tacks for each articulation and effect (cons) 16:55 changing midi channels via key switch solution (ks router) 19:42 minus delay plugin

Noob here. What is the purpose of six horns halves, quarters, eighths and so on? Isnt that just a duration held of a key?

However, there are various environments where this example cannot be applied, so it may still be best to create a separate track per articulation.

Hey, amazing vdo...I was wondering if its possible at all for you to share the downloadable link for Variable Delay Compensator (VDC)...for some reason I could not download it, and contacting them doesn't work and I cant create an account either so would it be possible if you could help me out....really need this right now as it will really save me so much time

This is a dirge. Slow. Dignified. Not jazzed up. Crappy performance. LVB is disappointed.

Thanks for all the info…most appreciated (you asked, so I’ll cast my vote….1 thumbs down here on the Ai voice)

Allan was influenced by Bill not the other way around. John was first fusion school by of guitarist soloing like Coltrane. Progressive rock woke up to fusion jazz and call it innovation.

Lost after 30:00 can someone please Direct told me which one to do for better .......as i am started composing orchestration music

This is great. Listening to AI is murder on the ears and hurts the soul a little. But what I have found to make it a little better is to use an Australian or English accent. It’s a bit endearing and I’ve found it to cover up the robotic spacing between words.

Thank you a million times and to the maker of the script also!!

recently posted on FB Jazz rock fusion group: comments on Alan saying : “I liked Bill Connors when he sounded like Bill Connors.” so, I was up close and personal, friends w band members, w the first RTF gigs w Billy in May 1973, 4 days in Boston. He was a revelation after my mentor Larry Coryell and J McLaughlin, BOTH could not bring the Claptonesque arena rock panache and blues drenched sweet vibrato Billy had. Like many guitarist friends in 1974, was very disappointed when Billy left (got fired actually, but probably would have qui anyway ) and decided to go from maybe the premier guitar gig in large stadiums w Chick to playing tiny coffee houses and bars on nylon string trying to emulate Julian Bream (a pretty ambitious and noble task in itself!) .. I do remember those articles, the blind shootout thing in downbeat, etc where other players like Abercombie, etc. sort of gave Billy shit about adopting a Holdsworth focused style. In Billy's defense, at that time no one else had the balls to try to do it! McLaughlin stated many times he had no idea what Alan was doing. I MUCH preferred Bill's earlier style 1973-74, but, similar to C Parker, at first no one had the balls to try to follow that, but w a year or so there was a whole school of Charlie Parker clones starting up the bebop revolution. Years after Bill, several ex tapper - shredders gone fusion finally started putting AH motifs in their playing, but Bill did it first. That comment of Alan's was a bit of a dick move IMHO, instead of just wishing him the best as an elder player who Bill was CLEARLY an admirer of. Alan of course had a rep for being very difficult and a somewhat arrogant loner, one of the many reasons he never made money playing w other players of his level.

Thank you, Man!

This believe me is the mother of all template videos. This is absolutely top notch quality...in line with any of the paid courses and even better. Haven't found anyone sharing the kontakt scripts for multis...too good

"I hope these template videos have been useful to you." Understatement of the year! A lot of this I was completely unaware of. Thank you so much for doing this. FWIW, I do prefer your own voice to the AI, mostly because in the previous videos I'd become accustomed to it

Your tutorials are great because they proceed carefully step-by-step. For Spitfire, especially strings, do you not turn off those articulations you know you won't be using? EW Opus has this capability as well. My machine just as 32GB RAM. I get a few hiccups. I keep meaning to add a couple more sticks for 64GB. Can't imagine how great 256GB would be, but maybe it's time to look into that --

I somewhat agree with Nick... I like some of Bill's material, but it's in no shape or way similar to Allan's work. There is no comparison!

Great job explaining this.

So whatever technology is applied it still isn’t working the way it would if you jest move the notes or score in Dorico to begin with.

Having all of the music releases by both Allan Holdsworth & Bill Connors I can honestly say neither sounds like the other & those who feel Bill Connors was intentionally trying to rip off Allan Holdsworth’s guitar style back in the late ‘80s on the three albums he released need their hearing checked. Bill Connors’ music has always been more approachable than that of Allan Holdsworth over the years for listeners who are not into jazz or fusion & Bill Connors’ three late ‘80s releases (“Step It”, “Assembler”, & “Double Up”) are much easier listens than some of the material Allan Holdsworth was releasing at that same time much of which was recorded on the synth axe. Both had their own distinct styles & Bill Connors didn’t need to copy anyone. While not well known outside the jazz fusion community his work with Chick Corea’s first guitar powered version of his band Return To Forever is very influential, even if many recognize Al DiMeola as RTF’s guitarist more so than they do Bill Connors’ short stint preceding Al DiMeola’s time in the band. The “Hymn Of The Seventh Galaxy” album, the only RTF album featuring Bill Connors on guitar has probably been more influential than the three albums Al DiMeola recorded with RTF also. Those who believe Bill Connor’s was copying Allan Holdsworth are probably the same yo yos who always say Robin Trower has been copying Jimi Hendrix throughout his career hen Robin Trower sounds nothing like Jimi Hendrix at all. ’

Great video I must confess. I just need a favour from you. Can you explain this in Studio one?

thank you. Very clear and informative.

I don’t think Bill Connors sounds like Allan Holdsworth. Influenced? Probably! But Connors has really his own style. Allan is definitely my favorite , just like I love all works of Pat Metheny .

Awesome video!! Thank you so much! The extending testing and proof was fantastic

As a newbie to VIs your video was brilliant! Answered all the questions which I haven't been able to find answers to! Thanks much!

Do not like the AI Narative - Great video though! ;)

Thanks for sharing!

If you read between the lines, Allan must have thought Bill was trying to sound like him. At the time, hardly anyone knew what the hell Allan was doing, so for Bill to come out with a similar approach was interesting. I liked Bill's albums, so I'm not ripping on him. But the influence seems fairly apparent.

Very interesting, nice work, cheer's

Great Job of Mockup! Just remember that this is FUNEBRE introspective music. Grave and Slower tempo to signalize pain. But not so slow that the early music dance character gets lost. K.r.

I've been messing and doing so plenty of research this last months, along with trying most of this alternatives you're showing here, but on Studio One. I just wish I had crossed your video earlier lol. Little tip, I movede EVERY KS to C-2, including the low instruments, and mapped everything to a separate MIDI controller (in my case Nanokontrol studio with 32 spare buttons, but any one could do trick) and now working towards the completion of the table as you did (it's insane we were doing the same steps all this time) and also creating S1 macros that work with the same buttons as the KS but on a different scene of the MIDI controller, that work for automatically assigning that articulation to selected notes. Only thing I have holding me back and want to ask. VDC stops my KS from working correctly, they only "come through" if I bypass it. Sound Variations (S1 term for Expression Maps) work perfect on play but not on idle when VDC is active. Do you have that same issue?
