Other BBC instruments that I will possibly use are brasses, and some free plugin is interesting
but my preferred preset for Max Fun and Zero Hassle is:
1 Scaler driving AAS Strum-GS in the loop mode
1 Scaler (with same chords, but different expression) driving a keyboard
Broomstick Bass (with its drums metronome) fed by AAS Strum-GS
You might want to check out Plugin Gurus Unify. Really great for combining multiple instruments & multiple versions of instruments (e.g. Spitfire BBC SO) along with other functionality Unify (Standard Edition) - PluginGuru.com
They’ve just released a library that has just been demo’ed on YT that features BBC SO. DiscoverStation 185 Patch Walkthru! - YouTube
Hoping it’s OK to post about other devs here mods.
Thanks for information @don1thedon
I’ll do a look and let you know if I acquire it
hoping it is not so much complex, because to much complexity kills fun to me
On my side, I have tried Plugin Guru’s Unify and Core Station. Quite amazing indeed. Only downside: how to change articulation inside one same instance of Unify with many different BBC Core layers inside?
Concerning your BBCSO Core UACC-based patches and 156 Divisimate presets: are you willing to share them one way or another?
When using Divisimate and other chord splitting methods in Live I always put Live’s pitch device in front of each instrument so I can easily dial in and change the note range for each voice.
I just got Divisimate, but it certainly can work with Scaler and you don’t need to run a 3rd party host for Scaler in front of your DAW to make it work. Or at least not with the current version of Divisimate and Scaler within Cubase on my Windows computer. It take a bit of set up but there is a MIDIloopback for Divisimate, that comes right from them when you install the application. This allows MIDI data from your DAW to be sent out to Divisimate, processed and then returned to your DAW as multiple MIDI ports.
The combination of Scaler and Divisimate is pretty powerful just in the couple of hours of tinkering around I’ve done so far. It really is the tool that can take Scaler’s understanding of chord theory and split it those notes up across multiple instrument tracks as most composers working in orchestral style music would need.
Wouldn’t make any difference. easily done since it uses no other items except Scaler and Divisimate. But since you no longer have it, never mind. Although I may have figured an easier way for MVO but sounds like you aren’t interested in that any more either. Jam on!
Cheers,

VSL and Divisimate collaborated on a free Prime template and quite a number of orchestration presets. I translated that to BBCSO Core. More info here. Enjoy!
