On Monday September 19, 2005, Mike McCarthy asked, "I want Synful's intelligent articulation selection & playability, but with VSL's sound quality. Am I hoping for the impossible?"
And Dietz replied, "As you may imagine, we are fully aware of the possibilities and options you describe (... since quite some time before Synful appeared on the scene, BTW [;)] ...). Rest assured that we are be no means done with our own ideas and developments - quite on the contrary. All we ask you for is a little patience."
And here's one more idea for the rumor mill: Garritan has unveiled (though not yet premiered) software that matches waves for modwheel fades, so one may move from a soft solo violin to loud without sample phasing. As Synful's technology is well known to VSL, no doubt Garritan's method is too. And what Gary does is more similar to VSL than Synful, the last being its own technology.
It's wise to remember that Synful models phrases from recordings, but it's not playing recordings back, per se. VSL is a vast wealth of recordings, but it isn't really modeling anything, however clever the Performance Tool may be. So waiting to see the junction between these three technologies is fascinating in its own right.
As someone else also noted in this leviathan thread, I too would want to preserve freedom to pick the arts. But if VSL has anything that may, for example, interpret for playback sounds from sus to 0'5 to 0'3 to marcato to stac and staccatissimo, that would be just wonderful for my workflow. I'd happily graft other arts into that manually, after that extremely helpful "first boost."
Yeah, we're all kids here making idiots of ourselves. But this thread has helped me to see how much we crave similar tools.
