Wow...two extremes...

Are you Geminis?

No, Virgo. And that's way far from what it would be my extreme position [:D]

Symphonic Cube - for sure.

Price ? I would guess somewhere around 10.000 (Euro).....

Against this "monster" my sweet little 1st Edition will look like poo poo ... [[:|]]

Bamboodscha !
[:D]

HEHE, yeah sadly you and I .. and all others with a tiny, humble, treat it like the doormat, First edition will have to plug away with its anarchic simplicity. Damn you progress .. and damn you entropy!!!

Grrrr!!!!! [:P]

Yeah, well, I have Opus u know...how that's supposed to compare? [:P]

Opus 1 - how neat.....

[[[:D]]] [[[:D]]] [[[:D]]]

I'm betting that it's the Symphonic Edition [;)] due to the picture in the background...plus they've been working on that one for some time...MIR seems further away due to development starting later. Details VSL? How about include that CHOIR with it [:D] ?

I wonder what the price will be for Pro Edition users....plus that Christmas "discount" [[;)]]

My Euphoniums coming - I can feel it!

How about a "Buy now pay in 2008" sort of a deal. And maybe finance at say 4% APR.

You know it makes sense. [:D]

You're all wrong. It's a $250 GPO killer.

All I could say for sure:

It's not a dream!

Look, only 12 days now...

12 days

If it's the cube it may be that it breaks down into smaller new Horizon packages as well. For example if you can't afford the whole cube maybe you can purchase a Horizon version of muted brass - which I hope is true.

As I said before the graphic seems to indicate three distinct packages

19.999 EUR, to me, and I guess that the new Performance Set will cost 16.999 EUR.

But you will be offered the opportunity to ask for a loan to be paid back in 120 months.

Whatever it is has the number "800 000" attached to it - assuming that:
A) The coming release is the Symphonic Cube
B) One follows the same proportions of the current Complete Symphonic Edition
C) The 800 000 relates to included sample count

That could potentially mean that the SC will have ~495 gigs of content.

Wow.

Whatever it is, in Italy we ran out of money. Cash dispensers and credit cards say GAME OVER when you try to use them.

Since we're all put in the position of speculating, why not have fun?

Here goes ...

I think it's going to be the Choir with a very interesting new Performance Tool and the "Vocal Tool" that allows you to enter text and, voila, the proper phonemes and transitional sounds will be automatically stitched together ... resulting in the choir being able to actually speak! No more only "ooohs" and "blaaahs" from sample choirs.

Or, maybe it's the newly redesigned Performanc Tool (called "Dynamic Tool") + Symphonic Cube. The new tool automatically detects crescendo and diminuendo in a sequence (and knows its length) inserting just the right dynamic sample to match. Magically, it also works in real time.

VSL's Marketing dept WILL BE getting a raise on this idea (even though it is kind of cheesy and out of character for VSL). [:'(]

Ok, So we don't know what's in 13 days, right? Was I confused...

Of course we know, it's undoubtedly the Symphonic Cube. Nothing less would be hyped up so much. With all the square and cube references, the 800,000 (number of samples), and the "It's not a Dream" slogan, which slams the belief by many that it was never going to happen; it has to be none other than SC.

The Next Generation is exactly that - the next generation in orchestral sample libraries. Bigger, better and more realistic ('natural').

It's just a shame I won't be able to afford it - just yet...

Oh, and can someone please correct the spelling error in this thread's title? It's annoying me no end. [8o|]
