  • Better Strings for VI SE??!!

    So, I just bought the Vienna Instruments special edition, thought it was a good deal because the website demo video uses all different playing techniques etc. Anyway, after trying out some things I noticed that the patches for all instruments (especially stings) are SO limited. You can't even create a simple crescendo or decrescendo - sorry, the strings just sound really disappointing! So, what I do I need to buy in order to get ALL the patches?? like in the video shown here http://vsl.co.at/en/68/141/1524/1525/1148.vsl ?? Are the separate string compatible with the Special Edition at all?? HELP!

     Why not use Velocity xFade for cresc and dim? And read the manual and watch the tutorials while you're at it. [;)]

    Yeah, there's a lot of flexibility built into the SE -- but you need to use crossfading and an expression pedal. Tutorial vids are extremely valuable and share all the secrets.

    You would have to buy the DVD collection of (perhaps) the Appassionata I strings or the Orchestral I+II strings to get all that's available.
