Why?

I already use solo strings ! ( violins, alto and cello )
It is often used in chamber strings orchestra. So I can't take a solo string as the solution for the divisi [:(]
I hope there will be the solution in the next VSL.

No you don't understand. Play both the Solo and Chamber patches together, and it will sound as if you have less than the original Chamber size orchestra playing. If you honestly think that VSL is likely to record sections half that of the Chamber Collection, I think that you will have a long wait. [:)]
Please try my solution, as it works very well.

The VSL string ensembles consist of nearly doubled sizes. Appassionata the largest, Orchestral about half the size of that, Chamber half the size of that, and then solos. So that is what I meant by plenty of opportunity to create divisi lines. If you have a line played by Appassionata violins for example, and it divides into 2, you can go to orchestral without distorting the numbers. If you need divisi a 4, you can use chamber. And the solos can be used to add further numbers.

Thank you William.
I had already understand your solution. It's not so bad but after all, but :
- you need all VSL strings
- It's OK if you write music for a philarmonic
- It's not the solution if you write for a REAL chamber strings orchestra, as to say for example 6/6/4/4/2 musiciens.

It would be very time consuming to be able to have divisi flexibility as you describe. They would have to have way more samples recorded, and also the patches would be very big and take up a lot of RAM.
Granted, this is supposed to be a virtual orchestra, but not everything is perfect.
I pretty much ignore the divisi thing. If I want to write divisi in appassionata, I simply do. But that's because I happen to like the big sound.
