A good way for testing would be to download only a minimized version of the violins i.e. the "D-Strings" with some articulations.
At this time i think to play these much complicated violins is very tricky and not to make "on the fly".
Christian Kardeis´ demo piece (as nice Bernard hermanian it is) doesn´t satisfy to me. I´m looking forward to other Audio Demos.
And is it in general possible to VSLs composers to make pieces with the samples of new instruments only?
What i would like to hear is a Violins sound that is more convincing. I hope the sound of the Dimension strings will fit in the company of the other strings (Orchestral... Chamber... Solo... Appassionata).
With what i could hear till now i wouldn´t give them solos to play but they could be a good spice with the others together. Is that what VSL intended? I hope not.
Please be lenient with me if my critic is a bit harsh but the sound of the strings was very good before the Dimension Strings. And the possibility to write a Violin Concerto for Solo Violin and Orchestra seems to be not within the range of vision.
Writing music for strings is the most demanding thing and i hope the 1 Million samples will be what i ever wished: a spirited and vivid sound
