This posting relates to the use of softwares OMI and EMXP - please visit http://www.emxp.net for more info.

For those who aren't aware of it: People might have a corrupted category in their library although things might look correct.

With OMI there is a very well known provision for correcting a particular error aka. "autocorrection of banknames". The metacommand "A" (as in "Autofix") in the OMI software fixes a problem with Category "ACOUSTIC STRINGS" (banks #90 to #151). The problem starts with bank VIOLAS_MINOR_TRILLS.EII (bank #107) - because it is not a valid EII-bank.

WITHOUT the Autofix at work OMI will fail naming banks #108 to #151 correctly. The banks are misnamed by an offset of -1 - ie. the bank that would seem to be #139 MARCATO STRINGS is NOT (because that bank is actually #140 ARCO OCTAVES TREMOLANDI) - and so on.

For an untrained ear it can be a bit difficult to verify whether the category transferred fine. To most people "strings are strings" and a lot of presets are similar enough to sound correct anyway. Unless one is looking for something particular the naming mixup could go undiscovered.

There *is* one bank, however, that could function as an easy test: Load #139 MARCATO STRINGS  - if you can't recognize those Pet Shop Boys 'West End Girls' strings...then your category is *probably* corrupt.

For those who want to be sure they have the correct category and banks anyway - download your update from here:
https://rapidshare.com/files/736779037/OMI_UoS_V1_C06___ACOUSTIC_STRINGS.zip - download and replace!

NOTE: The bank names are unmodified - the original OMI bank names remain.
