    We´re still recording every day, and there are still much ground to cover. Some instruments will be added earlier, others will be released later on. If you preferred instrument is not included, please don´t take that personally.

    It can't take long anymore ...

    Wasn't Dimension Brass fairly recent? I'm new to VSL so sorry if I'm wrong about that!

     Dimension Brass came out January 2011,

    so it depends if you consider 17 months ago recent or not.......

    Just imagine how many samples you can record in 17 monthes and how great this lib has to be ....

    Looking at the competition, two years between libraries isn't all that bad, especially considering VSL has already pretty much done the whole orchestra and then-some, and then re-done the brass.

    Very interesting for me would be some oriental instruments.:)

    I already got a library with those from a competitor but compared to VSL, it is much more instable and resource-heavy.

    Hopefully VSL will announce something BIG in August [;)]

    New Generation of VSL Orchestral Libraries.  Oh... maybe I'm just hoping for too much. 

    We shall see.

    VSL has been working a lot improving VI and VE 

    MIR PRO also has been a BIG work

    Yes, that's right.  But what about their Sample Libraries ?  I mean NEW Orchestral Libraries ? When will they be released ? soon or never ?

    The real challenge for VSL is a wordbuilder...  [H]  [:D]

    Imagine...

    Hmmm,  let's not repeat all the same thing   :  http://community.vsl.co.at/forums/p/31976/202891.aspx#202891

    By that you probably mean a "WORDbuilder" I guess. [:P]

    I don't think we will ever see a really convincing one.  My guess is there will be new strings ... this year!?

    New strings again? Aaw. Unfortunately their strings are not the type of sound that I go for, and I feel that way across the whole selection, from Solo to Appassionata. I don't mean to say that they sound bad, they're just not my style. Having said that, all their other instruments are perfect for me so my vote goes to a non-string-related library! However...I am imagining what it would be like if they released "Dimension Strings". That would be very cool.

    Tomorrow the actual campaign ends. I will eat my hat, if there won't be any news the next days (luckily I don't wear a hat!!!).

    You mean 30% off the (Upcoming NEW VSL Orchestral Libraries)  .. Right ?   [;)]

    Let's examine some of the factors that would need to be considered:

    1. Hiring musicians of very high caliber to go back into the stuido for 80, or 100 or 130 or maybe even 300 hours to get a new Chamber strings library that has the same number of different articulations as say the solo violin series. Might need 400 hours for that. Six violins, 4 violas, 3 cello and 3 bass. Lots of people-hours.

    2. Is there really a market out there.

    My personal wish list would be to have different sections for orchestra as in the real world -for chamber orchestra say 4 stands of first, and then in a departure from the current configuration a seperate group for 4  stands of second violins; 3 stands of violas, 3 stands of cello and 2 stands of bass.  Also in the woodwinds first, second and third stands of each woodwind instrument would be preferred as opposed to having a tutti approach for a3 clarinets, flutes, bassons etc. Same with brass although it seems the new virtuoso brass does this. The idea is that a the seperate voice configurations for an independent 'chair' (with perhaps even a 4th chair woodwind player) offers a more real to life configuration than the current articulations.

    AGREED. Unfortunately doubling instruments by transposing them a half-step up or down doesn't quite sound right to me. It still seems like there's a lot of phasing just because of the clear overtones of most woodwind instruments and the consistency of expression from one note to the next. I have to use a lot of EQ and panning, which is counter-productive to the attempt to make them sound like one section sitting next to one another. Though we already have two soloists for most of the woodwind section, so really just one more is necessary to get Dimension Brass-levels of control over ensemble size.
