  • Horizon solostrings come with standalone performance set?

    I am looking for a solo violin, viloa and cello, I already own VSL solo brass woodwinds, but I do not own the performance set.
    Please could someone explain to me if the Horizon solo strings come bundled with its own performance set for legato, repetition etc.
    Please could someone also point me in the direction of a demo of the solo cello etc, which have not been overlayed with other lush orchestration, I only want to hear the instruments working solo.
    Thanks to anyone for their help.
    Regards

  • Hi Russel,

    the solostrings are designed for all performance modi.
    So you will get performance legati, repetitions and alternations.

    There are some solo demos for violin and cello in our demo section.
    Here you have cello live performance using the Performance Legato instruments:

    This piece uses solely a simple sustain mapping played with vibrato. It demonstrates what results you can get even with few samples loaded:

    And here some violin demos:

  • So to summarize.
    If I buy the horizon solo strings I will also be given the performance tool to allow me to use these instruments - I do not need to buy the performance set first?

  • Exactly, you don't need to buy the Performance Set.
