I agree with Angelus and clruwe.

I'm in the market for some solo string options and am very disappointed with this offering. Sorry VSL, this time my money is going elsewhere......

P.S...still waiting for a violin 2 section too.

.

And these negative coments are coming from those that don't even own them. These instruments are fabulous, with incredible nuances of tone and dynamics.

Careful who you call a troll William. Your tone (yet again) is a disgrace. Some of us have a very good musical education and some are good composers. Criticism of a library that does not include  articulations that have been set as a precedent is valid. Nobody expects, nor wants to be insulted by idiots like you because we don't doff our caps every time VSL speaks, so why not play nice and show some respect to your peers.

I am a fully paid up member to VSL, owning most of their products, I respect the company and am grateful that I can give honest, sincere feedback to them without any need for fawning on this forum. Perhaps they might find negative feedback more useful than your gushing sycophancy.

VSL has good competition and whilst I still think they are the best, there is a danger that they will fall behind.

Bill, I don't need to own them -  I know what articulations I need for my scores and I know how and where  to use them, will that do?

Hi Mike(mh-7635)

(out of topic)

I went to your site and I must say it's a model of elegance and class... Also, congrats for your work, your touch is clearly "elegance" you know "how to write "for orchestra and especially "Strings". For me it's always a pleasure to discover talented people. Again congrats for your work.

Hi Fiestared,

Thank you for your kind words. I'm so pleased you liked some of my music - compliments from fellow composers mean just that bit more.

Mike.

You got a "mini lecture" because you inferred me and other posters where trolls. However, I'm sorry William, you did not need to reply, clearly you are under the mis-apprehension that I wish to engage in dialogue with you. But seeing as you did, your a fine one to talk about lecturing. Your immature reply suggesting that I was in char......oh christ , your really not worth it...... but I will stand up for opinions other than your own that I happen to agree with.

Dear Forum Members, 

please don't lapse into the old trap of fighting verbally on the 'net. I can assure you that we all have more in common with each other than we dare to admit. ;-)

Kind regards,

Fair enough Dietz...thanks for stepping in.

William....here's an olive branch........

My pleasure...

I just tried out the new cello and violin on audition. Am I getting that right, that the legato-patches are all looped?

.

 I look out for it to hear your composition with the new instruments!

   When can we expect the settings for Sibelius to be updated to reflect the new instruments?

Hello Mark!

Settings for Sibelius are already available.
