    What this library really needs is a second violin section.
    All the other instruments listed would be nice to have especially bass flute and heckelphone, but a second violin section is fundemental to be able to realise a full string section. 14 violins is just not enough.
    I can think of more than just a second violin section when it comes to strings... mf legato patches, longer destination notes... for example..

    Epic strings? Different recording positions could produce a nicer sound imo. [H]

    Perhaps we should have a central wish list thread? [:D]

    yeah and i would suggest also more "sustain" patchs, heavy vibrato, lyrical vibrato, goldsmith violins sound (his strings are so particular ! i don't know why...)

    In fact Epic strings, trumpets, trombones, etc etc would be really sweet!

    Would be great if VSL the avobe "hollywood sound" instruments

    Herb,

    Are you sad now that you asked us if we 'want one or two million Euros [:D] '


    The Oboe would be nice. But JUST IN CASE you didn't pick up on the general vibe here we really need a legato Choir (with word development) and a 2nd Violin section.

    You have yourself to blame on doing such a brilliant job on the libraries at hand. [[;)]] Sleeping 4-6 hours a night is way over rated.

    X-sample has a kazoo. No perf-leg of course. [;)]

    You must mean the non-transposing swanee whistle - and of course the kazoo in Eb.

    Anything else would be a senseless waste of human effort....

    I'm not sure, I've never really had a use for it, but i'm pretty sure you can play a melody on it (which I would imagine is what you mean [[:D]] ).

    Its on the percussion cd, which is a good buy. Some unusual percussion, as opposed to the bread and butter stock. Cheap too.

    Some of the first libraries I ever got! [[:D]]

    <EDIT> http://www.soundsonline.com/sophtml/details.phtml?sku=BS-279
    The demo mp3 has a good little example of the kazoo near the end.

    William,

    I am NOT interested in the Bass flute before a Bb Trumpet or Cornet. While we are pushing ideals on to each other by using HUGE FKN TEXT.

    William-
    How old are you? I'm in my mid twenties, if you were going to ask me. In fact, how old are the people in this thread? You don't need to answer - Just curious,

    William -
    Dude, we get that you like the bass flute. The problem is, I've never actually seen it used in any ensemble I've ever played in or seen, Julie [:)]



    I've just read all this thread for the first time.

    Dude!!!?? Well, that made me splutter in my brandy and ruin a perfectly serviceable tweed jacket make no mistake. Dude!!!?? Whatever next! I'll go to the foot of our stairs!

    This is a private vote on an instrument selction that Herb has simply posted. Not a fkn war! What on earth has age got to do with this thread? I'm a thirteenth century reincarnated monk from Shrewsbury if that's any good to you!
    You've never seen a bass flute? Well I've never seen an elephant fly! Thats from Dumbo btw. Listen to the Ipcress File!

    Lets just everyone calm down and get on with the vote.

    Musicians! Jesus!

    Fantastic! I was going to suggest adding a Bass Flute a few months ago.

    Two easy-to-find recordings with Bass Flute are the "You Only Live Twice" soundtrack and near the end of the Verdi Requiem (I think - haven't seen the full score)
