     Funny, I used to use pfp's all the time. Now Velocity Crossfade is my best friend! :)

    OF course I use velocity crossfade....BUT it's just not the same.........On the PFP's the Players "perform"........the vibrato BLOOMS as they reach from the P to the F........velocity crossfading sounds a lot more lifeless (not bad....just not nearly as effective......The point is to use ALL things for their best purpose........The 6 sec PFP's especially are terrific for "Coming up " on a note/ and then switching to the perf-leg etc.......I know we have crescendos but they are much more DRASTIC......and their is such beauty in those Apass1 and Strings1 + 2 pfp's.......I swear by them.........Especially the Basses + Celli doing the classic 1,5,3 in the lows with the PFP's.....you just can't beat it..... HERB, pretty please with a cherry on top ok ;-) SvK

    I find the pfps in all instruments extremely useful, hopefully at some point in the future there will be a epic percussion with pfps on timps, cymbals, etc. Julian

    Still no Solo Strings II with Sordinos at all?

    ...not even scheduled?

    I hope at least "futur" will once have an ear for Sordino-Solostrings.

    Can you tell me how to pre-order it at 475$ US [Before the price increase] because by the time it release, price will go up. Also, along with free extended code [if I already have Full Chamber String I] if I buy 4 more VI standard, I can get another extended Library [any] right? Thanks Sonny

    I'm another big fan of PFP's.

    Whenever auditioning a string, woodwind or brass sintrument .... PFP are my goto patch ... because they you get to hear a good dynamic range .... and they are infact very, very playable. 

    I was always puzzled as to why they were not included in the original Chamber Strings I.  Is this just not a typical articulation in Chamber music? 

    Very much looking forward to Chamber II .. pricing looks affordable.

    Thanks

    Better still..........The PFP's on the Orchestral Strings 1/2 libraries have 2 velocity layers!!! So one is a p to mf the other is a m to f..........NOW enabling Velocity cross fade on those is awesome and you can really achieve some superb "blooming"....just not doable with the regular sustains and vel-crossfading...........SvK............It is a real shame that the comprehensive PFS's afforded to the original libraries was not included in the APass2 and Chamber1 libraries.........Also the Apass1 library PFS's only have 1 velocity layer, I wish they had 2 like the original libraries........The "Passionate" libraries are the ones where PFS are most required...since they sound soooooo "Passionate"....my 2 cents...SvK

    Hi dsstudio,

    you can pre-order right at the product page.

    And yes, if you get 4 more VI Standard Libraries, you get a free Extended Library [:)]

    Let sales@vsl.co.at know which Extended Library you choose!

    Best,

    I mean,

    The promotion is to buy 5 VI will et 1 free extended,

    But also, Buy Chamber II will get Free Chamber II extended if I already have FULL chamber I.

    So, if I buy 4 VI standard more, I'll still get 1 FREE extended [other than Chamber II extended]?

    Or If somebody does not have Chamber I yet, Will they get all 2 extended [1 of them is of course Chambwer II] if they buy 5 VI with both Chamber I and II?

    Hope you will understand the question...

    Thanks

    You will get Chamber II extended and any other extended collection of your choice for free.

    You just have to register Chamber I full collection before you register Chamber II standard collection,

    than you will recieve automatically a Chamber II full code.

    (Your question was quite understandable, but I'm not so sure about my reply...)

    I am glad the hear that but the bigger question is D-E-M-O

    Can I hear some sample before I place an order? Price increase date is getting close so I need to hear the sample ASAP

    Just a few legato lines or jamming with misc articulations is fine [no complete song needed]

    Just want to know the charactor of the sound

    I want to buy this but buying without hearing the sound first would be a risk to me... plus, US price increase time is ticking! Please post a demo or some example sound NOW, Please! Sonny

    Hi.

        Ok..If I buy next week 5 VI DVDs products chamber string II included which is not yet release can I order my extended library code when I register the 4 VI products or I have to wait until I receive chamber string II ?

    Regards.

    Might I suggest that since there are no demos for CHbr II that the currency price increase be delayed a month or two.   Currency has come back in favor of the USD in the last week anyways[<:o)]
