    Just as a suggestion to VI: in case that the sampling of new sounds as requested for in this thread is considered, it would probably make sense to contact

    Concentus Musicus, Wien
    http://www.kdschmid.de/deutsch/index.php3?ch=3&p=1orchester.php3?k_id=115&tix=

    or even better:

    Players in these ensembles know how to realize a high variety of non-vibrato playing modes, and certainly own or utilise a wide range of appropiate instruments.

    By the way, it might be meaningful to specify the identity of the instruments used for solo instrument samples in general as it is the case with Boesendorfer piano.

    I agree. Let's have a complete "Baroque orchestra" set! I'd love a set of cornetto samples, for Monteverdi and Bach.

    Anyone doing Early Music (where thy also want gut strings and Baroque bows) need non-vibrato; Anyone into modern repetoire like the Kronos Quartet,Steve Reich's Violin Phase, etc ditto. I've heard that the Vienna Instrument is based around code from Native Instruments - as in Kontakt etc. If so, a modification for non- equal temperament should be very very easy. Kontakt has dozens of scripts to do this...

    Not true, where did you hear this? Vienna Instruments are developed exclusively in house by our team.

    Maybe you mix it up with the orchestral content Native Instrument has licensed from us for Kontakt?

    Oops - sorry Herb. I read it on a NI forum. No disrespect to your own team of coders! Since I've got your attention, can you think about an upgrade to the Vienna Instrument, to permit non-equal temperaments? Best wishes!

    Let's make a brake with Baroque Music...

    Perhaps we will get a VSL string orchestra with baroque instruments and with their typical playing styles - once. [:)]

    It seems that VSL is still working. [:)]

    All the best

    Hello Beat Kaufmann,

    many thanks for the link to this test file with VSL baroque instruments. It seems that VSL is still working, but does someone know details or have estimates of the release date?

    Regards

    ... It seems that VSL is still working...

    ...means that we are still getting new libraries. Or in other words: VSL is still "keeping the ball" - is still going on to produce new libraries.

    But whether we will ever get baroque violins/strings or not... who knows that...

    I would like to resurrect this topic. I'm interested in sustained, non-vibrato patches for solo strings without mutes. The product page is too vague about the contents within the packages. Under the extended library it says "Sustained with [b]progressive, fading,[/b] and without vibrato" Are there different types of sustained, non-vibrato patches? Does any of the SE libraries for the strings include sustained, non-vibrato patches? I have no idea what the difference between the "sustained, progressive fading" and "Vl_sus_noVib" are.
