  • What benefit does Dimension Strings have over Special Edition Strings?

    I'm sure this is a very obvious question, but after looking over the product pages, I'm still not sure:

    I currently own special edition strings Vol. 1, Vol. 1+, and Vol.2. I'm considering upgrading to Dimension strings... but I'm not exactly sure what my investment will buy me. Better samples? More detailed sound editing?

    Many thanks for your help!

  • You'll move from having strings sampled as a section to strings sampled individually.  It's a pretty huge difference!  Each ensemble member is recorded individually and I'm pretty sure you get more articulations too.


  • Aha... now I get it, Casiquire. Thanks for the info!

  • You can also understand you investment as going from bicycle to Bugatti Veyron [:D]
