Herb,
I just received the demo cube today (and I must say I hate you -- it just makes the wait for VSL that much more excruiating now that I've had a taste of it) and I have a few questions. I know that the Pro Edition is the next step, but I'm a little curious about the Symphonic Cube. What is the difference, besides the obvious 210 to 375 GB of sampe size and the fact that's SC is on a hard disk, while PE is on DVD?
Also, I was wondering something about the harp. Are all enharmonics sampled, and if so (or if not), how would one go about writing enharmonic tremelos (i.e. E#/F, Cb/B, etc.), glissandos, and harmonics (artificial and natural)? Maybe this has been covered before, but as I didn't see it (and I'm realy anxious) I'm asking here (i.e. will it be an external program, with one of the performance tools handle this, etc.).
The back of the phamplet boasts about the library eventually encompassing 1.5 million samples. If this is so, then am I correct to assume that the Symphonic Cube is not the end of the VSL legacy? If this is true, what else would you be recording? A choir perhaps, one with full choice (i.e. soprano, mezzo-soprano, etc.)?
In case anyone asks, yes, I'd love to be charter member VIP, but by the time I'd have enough the Pro would be in full swing and the 1st Edition would be ancient history. Herb, hopefully you can shed some light on the comparison between the Symphonic Cube and the Pro Edition.
Thanks!
