Thanks jbm, I'll check them out.
And your piece sounds very real.

Because the people "playing" this violin cannot play that instrument, know nothing of the difficulties involved, and simply tap like chimps at a keyboard, and smile as they hear the fakery.
I am disgusted by this vulgar distortion of sound and acoustics.

hmmm... I don't really...
I found a couple of .pdfs I downloaded, at some point -- try these:
http://rubato-music.com/Media/Serra_SMS_97.pdf
http://rubato-music.com/Media/cardle_CMPC.pdf
I don't know if I can really leave these up, since I don't have any rights over them. But they were freely available when I downloaded them, so it shouldn't be a problem. It's funny... you'll notice that the first one is from way back in 97, and actually outlines the general type of synthesis used in Synful.
Anyway, there's much more out there... just Google!

ps - check out this little bit of madness, while you're at it:

no... there's no Synful-ness in there, just pure VSL!

Well, I have to say that I am very impressed with what I've heard from synful and am considering using it instead of VSL performance/pro. Why? Not because I think it sounds quite as good yet... but because it is *SO* much easier to compose using. I can do without the most convincing representation if I can compose easily.
THis is something I've been after for years... virtual instruments played by virtual players who apply their own skill to your piece without you having to micro-manage them.
I am very excited about this technology and hope - selfishly - that it doesn take off. These sample libraries are getting stupidly large now...
@jbm said:
Really [paynterr]? You find this more "fake" than the Synful stuff? For me, the problem with the Synful pieces is in the staccato notes -- they really sound like truncated long notes, to me...
But I suppose it makes sense, considering the exaggerated use of ostinati -- the samples are literally repeated, in close proximity, a number of times. Maybe that's not what you're talking about... I don't know. Can you be more specific? To me, these instruments sound pretty real, but then, this is only my composing mock-up. So it's very hard for me to hear it objectively...

listening to the demos
I suspect the string quartet demo to be a real string quartet.
