100% custum ? could you tell us more ? did he record himself an entire string orchestra ? that would cost him a lot of money
Yes its 100% custom, yes and yes.

being selfish doesn't preclude being smart infact I think it implies he can make more money by having sole access to it.

No one here seems to understand this is scripting of existing sounds. What was recorded might have been quite mediocre compared to VSL, which does things the most basic way - with a good sound from the ground up. This scripting allows an old limited sample library like x sample, or a private library of extremely small size to be used in a new way with all sorts of tweaks applied automatically, and probably adjustment of harmonics etc for realistic legato without pitch bend weirdness, etc.
If I am wrong about this, go ahead, correct me but I believe all this desperate desire for these samples is misplaced. It is not in the samples. You already have better samples. It is how they are used. I found that somewhat irritating, about the solo cello - the VSL solo cello is in no way inferior to this one. It is in the useage, not the samples.
With all respect, Laurent - but you seem to have missed the idea behind our concept.

Yes Rob, that was what I was thinking. The concept of Synful is taking really basic samples - NOTHING like the awesome complexity of VSL - and coming close to making them sound o.k. That is a huge leap when you consider how much is done with tweaking. Very involved and complex, but still basically tweaking. So if you could take something as good as VSL and mold it similarly the mind boggles at the possibilities. VI uses this general principle at the instrument level, and will certainly use it at the sample level soon. Though perhaps this type of scripting engine can be generically applicable to all your old libraries. That would be nice - putting all that painful expense to new use instead of dead storage.
Laurent, I have listened to Sonic Implant and they are not better than VSL at all. You're hearing some real nice mixes. Of course I wouldn't protest too loudly if someone presented that library to me for free. [[[;)]]]

I'm sorry, busy finishing the stuff for replication.
In short: the Vienna Instruments do not need a scripting solution for simulating intervall connections, because we have real performed intervalls.
But what's possible now with the "internal scripting possibilities" of the VIs is to connect the intervall sample- nippets with any normal single note sustains. Especially for string ensembles this works very well. So there will be for a example performance-legati using all four sustain velocity layers.
I plan to use this possibilities extensively with our upcoming "epic string" recordings. It will be possible to have intervall legatos connected to multiple instances of different sustain articulation. For example different vibrato intensities, ensemble in tune, sligthly out of tune etc.
If this works well and is worth the effort, it will be easy to offer also free updates for the existing strings sections with similiar multiple expressive sustain instances.
