Braunschweig Upright Update

If you wish to install this update, please ensure you follow the installation instructions below.

Imperfect Samples cannot be held accountable for any loss of data, so please back up your library, and ensure to follow these instructions completely.

This update contains:

1. Release trigger fix for kontakt 
This fix causes the release samples to fade out over time.

2. Release time fix for kontakt & EXS24
More realistic release times.

3. Delay fix in kontakt 
This eradicates the sample start delay in kontakt.

4. "Quiet Release", "No Release", and “Human Fingers” instruments for Kontakt 
This adds new instrument files with different types of behaviour, as per your preference.
Quiet Release: Piano with faster decaying release samples. Use this if you prefer a quieter release sound.
No Release: Piano with no release samples. Use this if you prefer no release sound.
Human Fingers: Piano including the full sample of each note. This includes subtle sounds just before and during the fingers tap the ivory keys. This arguably sounds more real, but some pianists might sense the slight (ms) delay whilst playing.

5. “No Release” instruments for EXS24 
This adds new instrument files with no release sound for EXS24.
No Release: Piano with no release samples. Use this if you prefer no release sound.

6. Click fixes 
This irons out certain overly-imperfect samples, if you wish to do so.

7. New ISP Instruments added (VST / AU)
ISP (Imperfect Samples Player) enabled instruments have been added, for users without EXS24 or Kontakt. To use these instruments, please install the Imperfect Samples Player (VST / AU).

PC Windows Installation Instructions:
(if you use a MAC, refer to MAC installation instructions below)

1. Backup your entire instrument to DVDs and keep them safe, if you haven’t already done so.  It is important to do this, as further downloads cost bandwidth.

2. Navigate to your ‘Braunschweig Upright’ folder on your hard disk. Notice it contains your original *.exs and *.nki files. 

3. Inside your Braunschweig Upright folder, create a new folder named “Old Instrument Files”. Move your original *.nki and *.exs files into this folder. This is your backup of your old instrument files. NB: Make sure you only move the *.nki and *.exs files. Leave the *.tga file where it is.

4. You need winrar to decompress the update file. If you don’t already have the latest version installed, please install Winrar: http://www.rarlab.com/rar/wrar380.exe . After you have installed Winrar, continue to the next step

5. Double-click on the update file to decompress it. If you encounter an error, please erase it and download it again. Ensure you are using Mozilla Firefox and the Download Them All! plugin as instructed. Once it has finished decompressing without errors, continue to the next step.

6. Notice there are 5 folders inside the update: ‘Human Fingers’, ‘Main Instruments’, ‘No Release’, ‘perspective 1’, and ‘Quiet Release’.

7. Highlight ‘Human Fingers’, ‘Main Instruments’, ‘No Release’, ‘perspective 1’, and ‘Quiet Release’, and copy them into your ‘Braunschweig Upright’ folder. When Windows prompts you to replace or skip files, click ‘replace all’.

Your update is now installed.

6. Notice that a new blue ‘update’ folder has been created. Open this folder. 

7. Notice there are 5 folders inside the update: ‘Human Fingers’, ‘Main Instruments’, ‘No Release’, ‘perspective 1’, and ‘Quiet Release’.

8. First, copy the entire folders ‘Human Fingers’, ‘Main Instruments’, ‘No Release’, and ‘Quiet Release’into your ‘Braunschweig Upright’ folder. 

9.  Navigate back to the ‘update’ folder. Notice that the folder ‘perspective 1’ contains new replacement samples. 

10. Copy the audio files inside ‘perspective 1’, to their corresponding folders in the ‘perspective 1’ folder on your hard disk. For example, copy each audio file in ‘layer3’ across to ‘layer3’ on your hard disk, and click ‘replace file’. Do this for all the files. WARNING: Make sure you copy each file individually. DO NOT copy the entire folder and select ‘replace all’, as some versions of OS X will erase all original files and folders. This is a design flaw in some versions of OS X – irritating I know! Just copy each audio file individually and you’ll be fine.

Your update is now installed.
