Just logged in after the countdown and am frankly quite disappointed with what is being put on offer.
Correct me if I am wrong, but is this simply not *just* the bundling of pro-edition and performance tool into a VSTi with VSL re-inventing their own sample engine rather than leveraging what is presumably quite a lot of good work in Kontakt and Halion to do that job for them?
I mean - it looks like a re-invention of the wheel to me...
Sample management - god - not this again - Ram save all over again... which sucks with workflow... this unloading/loading of samples should be hidden from the user by clever programming. e.g. lazily loading samples when they are used, unloading them when we detect that they have not been used for a while.
Better still, don't pre-load ANYTHING at all and have the entire VSL library at your disposal. Why do we have to have any pre-load? I notate my compositions and could quite happily deal with the latency of loading the samples from memory on demand... thus I could have as much as I wanted 'loaded'.
It is a shame that VSL are concentrating on re-inventing the sample engine wheel probably because of their worry about pirating the performance tool.
This above anything else has made me more interested in the developments at www.synful.com. There is something wrong about this complexity...
Sorry...
