Hi,
No, there will be absolutely no more demos, never again [6]
Kidding. We´re just listening to you, and then there will be more demos, of course. There will also be more videos. As always [:)]
We just need to catch our breath again to let the inspiration kick in [;)]
Best,
Paul

Hi Paul,
Thanks for confirming that additional audio & video demos will be posted in the near future.
I will be buying Dim-Strings next week, and look forward to the release of the remaining Dim-Strings sections (violas, Cellos, Basses) whenever you have them ready for release.
Cheers,

I am getting huge inspiration from this incredible new library! I am doing a performance of my all-time favorite piece of film music using Dimension Strings and Dimension Brass and I just love the complex realism of the sound. The D strings are more than a new library release, They are another revolution in sound from VSL. I am noticing the resonance of each player is subtly richer from the presence of the other players on top of being different in each of their own sounds. Also, the humanize functions are fantastic in their effect. I am so excited by this I am having to force myself to take calm-down breaks. I think this is beyond anything VSL has yet done! Congratulations!

Thanks for the positive feedback regarding both Dim-Strings and Dim-Brass.
I could just imagine how amazing Dim-Strings will sound, when the full Dim-Strings is completed. (violas, Cellos, Basses) imho. this is the next generation of excellent tools from VSL, nothing short of revoultionary !

OMG!!!!!! DID I MISS SOMETHING? IS THAT ALL THE COMPLETE DIMENSION STRINGS FOR 695 EUROS??????????????
IF I BUY NOW THE VIOLINS I WILL RECEIVE THE BASSES, VIOLAS AND CELLOS FOR FREE WHEN THEY RELEASE??????????????
I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE VIOLINS OMGGGGGG!
That's not cool. I'm now forced to buy Orchestral Strings + Dimension strings. [:(] [:D]
i wonder too if the new Dimension Strings will be so much better as all other strings together. I used to mix the Orchestral Strings with the Chamber Strings and the Appassionata Strings to get best results. What seems impossible also with the new Dimension Strings is a good Solo Violin. I think this is a nearly impossible action also for VSL.
But, do you thik, this short piece would really sound better with the new Dimension Strings?

Hi everybody,
A new video that gives you an overview of all available patches is now online on the Vienna Dimension Strings video page!
More videos to come!
Best,
Paul
This is brilliant! With this second video the value of DS is much more obvious, then with the first. You convinced me almost completely. If there could be one brilliant Ligeti demo now, I will buy ASAP! I only hope the early bird price will last long enough, until I can afford it ...
I am completely blown over by this library after the 2nd video. It really is worth the introductory price - but it still has to wait for me - as it also incorporates the rest of the strings, which I'm sure they will be more useful to me. As incredible as these violins and those articulations are, they still sound very much chamber to me. I just have to see how someone like Jay Bacal tackles this, and still I'm certain I couldn't replicate it. Perhaps a convincing demo next on how these 8 violins can be made to sound like 16? Doubling maybe?
Anyway, my congratulations again on a truly amazing job, and a thank you for the actually musical examples on the new video, instead of the token and crass "film-trailer" ones other companies use to tout their products.

I thought Dimension Strings was just a more comprehensive version of orchestral strings with more samples and more articulations, but the last post sounds like there are only 8 players. So I guess I am back to wondering exactly what Dimension Strings is.
Read the blurb on the product page, watch the videos and then ask questions. [;)]

I very simply and modestly think, but I might be wrong, that DStrings is a "due" reply to the many strings libraries out there, especially those which are concentrated on specific targets like: intonations and attacks slightly different and delayed, "cinematic" intimate atmospheres and so on and on...
Competition and Market. As sad as it is.
Now we might argue about why, for example, samples are "marked" by a special "resonant environment" such as a cathedral or else...
The answer is perhaps (I'm stupid and I'm only trying to guess) that the Majestic and Global Agreement is, obviously, that you sound this way I sound another way so libraries (sounds) cannot ever blend. So you need to buy me...
But, in this case, I must admit that DStrings is different in just one way: you have 8 different players, each one "under control".
This is the only feature I love. But, again, talking about old (very old) synths bought, how many single sounds did you use? For this reason, only for this reason I purchased it. I hope not to be ostracized for what I'm saying.
Last, I'm sorry for the only and unique audio demo, which is just a replica of what anybody knows.
Nevertheless, Christian, it is not at all my intention to offend you, in any way. On the contrary...
As we say: "A buon intenditor, poche parole".
Is it possible to play double stops with 1 Violin? in example playing the g4 on the D-String and the B4 on the A-String simultaneously?
Or can DS only play one time on the D-String and after that on the A-String?
If that´s not possible, i have to put 2 violins on the same place on the stage to simulate one Violin with Double stops.
