    A quick question,
    Are Opus 2 instruments lite versions of ProEd instruments in terms of number of layers, chromatic sampling? Im interested in this issue specially in relation to the strings stuff.
    Thanks

    The string ensemble instruments (flautando, fast repetitions, runs) are identical with the Pro Edition versions.

    [[:|]] comparing the sample numbers with those of the pro edition, it seems that (except for the woodwinds already included in opus 1) in opus 2 every (half)tone is sampled. this is in contrast to the "philosophy" of the first opus package and for me exremely disturbing since it makes no sense to spend twice as much memory on rarely used instruments like e.g. contrabasson ... in particular, this largely prohibits to use these sounds in a template, because when i have to decide to include one articulation from opus 2 or two from opus 1 i will definitively do the latter!
    so, are there also reduced "opus1-like" programs for the included instruments where only every second sample is used?
    if not, will you make such programs available for download later on?

    hello (excuse my bad english)

    i want to buy Opus1 bundle but i have some interogation:

    every demo show some great attack string but no dark, romantic, expressive melody;
    Is it a probleme of the sample or not?

    So, should i buy opus 1,2 bundle or opus 1 and sting chamber?

    And the same question about preference

    In a simple way: is it really possible to have the total orchestre with all feeling from opus 1,2 or is it better to have separate string, wind..

    And the last question, is there some technical documentation in french?


    Thank you so much for your andswer

    For maximum expressiveness with strings, I recommend Opus 1 plus the Horizon Solo Strings. Using these two packages together can yield amazing results.
