Actually...I fall on the other side of this.
When I buy an instrument--virtual or not, I want ti to play correctly out of the box. If you want to tweak out individual samples, just buy a sampler. I don't think VSL's samples are that amazing--I think the programming of the VI is. Don't get me wrong--world class samples....but, there are plenty of world class samples. Some of them a whole lot cheaper.
Anyway...I HATED my years with Gigastudio for that very reason--every time I bought a library, I felt like I needed to tweak this or that.
Now...I do hear flaws. Those notes that "jump out"....I think it must have to do with some randomization going on--it's never something I can easily reproduce, but I think that rather than have VSL work on an editor, I'd prefer we make a sticky (or forum of it's own) for "bug spotting". Like, "In the Chamber VI_blahblah patch some C#3 variation doesn't dynamically match well" Or, mentioned above "The upper octave of Organ#5 gets flat"--or whatever. I would think they would gladly fix these things for everyone. They're obviously oversights or design--maybe that top octave of those old organs really is out of tune. [;)] Either way...they can address it with some sort of instrument specific patch or something.
I'd rather see that than the offer up an editor. You can buy their Giga libs now pretty cheaply--and open them in whatever sampler and tweak until your ears are blue. I'd rather the community work together to help them better their instrument design than hole away in our own little labs cooking up our own customized versions.
