DivisiLive® (Only available in the full version of Concert Strings II.)

 

Suppose you have a section of 8 violins. During a musical piece, the score suddenly calls for a divisi during a few bars. This particular "divisi" calls for 2 notes; a 2-note chord. In real life, 4 of the violinists would play the top note, and the remaining 4 violinists would play the bottom note. Before now, this was impossible to accomplish easily in sample libraries. But with TVEC II's DivisiLive®, you can automatically do this on the fly. DivisiLive® detects whether a chord is played, and divides the available Divisions (in this case, 8 violins) so that each note in a 2-note chord is played by only 4 violinists. This way, the passage sounds more realistically performed by a real string section.
If, for some reason, you have DivisiLive® turned on and have chosen the Solo Division, you will get silence. This is because TVEC II cannot divide 1 player. During solo passages, you must turn DivisiLive® off.
