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. [[[;)]]]
Herb,
You have been noticably absent from this discussion. What is your take on 'future possibilities' within the new VI to get some of the results as shown by Thomas and his wonderful K2 scripting?
Obviously, I am not asking for details that could hamper your competitive edge - just that you are working on something similar. As I write this, I think - yes, of course you are working on this. You guys have proven time and time again to 'lead the pack'. Anything to make your samples 'live and breath' even more is certainly something you would be most interested in.
...But, having said that, a word or two from you on this topic would be appreciated - at least by me [[[;)]]] .
Rob
