I have just purchased the pro edition,...I got the cube for Giga, and the performance set for EXS. While the Flute and Clarinet legato instruments are really great (even though some of the lower Clarinet notes have a little too much breath in the sound for my liking-and I am a clarinet player), I find the performance legato oboe most disappointing. Why did the VSL team not use a vibrato oboe? While I can have a great deal of fun playing the legato flute and clarinet, I cannot say the same for the oboe.
Who wants an oboe with no vibrato? I know it has its place, but surely it would have been better to use long notes with vibrato for this most expressive of instruments. To this end, I believe that a vibrato oboe performance legato instrument should be FREE for pro edition users, most of whom probably expected it to be a vibrato instrument in the first place. To have to spend MORE money to get this seems a little unreasonable. I basically love this library, but I suspect my DD library oboe will be getting used instead of this one. What do you think Herb?
