    Much better title.
    The word 'epic' in a musical context always reminds me of some film blockbuster, and those damn taiko drums!
    Like the idea of progressive vibrato too.

    Herb, any idea on how heavy a load this will place on Ram and CPU?

    Thanks for the session update. Sounds like it will be fantastic and it that it will be a very successful title for you and your team.

    Recording sessions for the large violin section have already started.
    We have changed the working title to Appasionata Violins, somebody mentioned here that "Appasionata" would be a better name tha "Epic", and that's right, because Appasionata is exactly what they are.

    We also expanded the recording schedule to much more recording sessions, and we also developed a new modular performance-interval producing/mapping scheme.
    So we are able to offer real interval legato patches for many different articulations.
    Main focus is on two velocity variations, one in mp and one in mf. Here you will get performance legati with medium vibrato, heavy vibrato, progressive vibrato, variations with slightly out of tune notes (at the beginning) going into tune.
    There will also be a pp performance legato patch with strong vibrato, and a molto appasionate ff patch.

    I'm very, very happy with the results so far, and we try to offer you this stuff as fast as possible. Maybe we can upload first patches end of March.

    Holy hell this sounds great. And this stuff will still be free for "Pros"?

    My guess is your plans are to offer this one for free, and then release a new VI which include the cellos aswell? Would be nice!

    Herb this really sounds extraordinary - thanks!

    I bet we are all dying to hear so demos please! [H] Any ideas when and at what cost it will be available for the common mortals without the VI?

    So will these new violins have more people in the ensemble than the regular VI strings? Or are you trying to expand upon what the strings are now? I wonder because I see you have a PP and a FF but no P or F in there. It will still be free correct for those that have the pro edition and have boughten the standard VI? Thank you for answering these questions in advance and for giving this "bonus" [:D] .

    Hello:

    I followed this thread for a while when it started but haven't kept up so I must echo Janilla's question. Will this be available for those who have, for example, the Pro Ed and Performance Set, but who choose not to purchase the VI? If so, has a price been determined? It really sounds like a must-have item. Please excuse me if these questions have already been answered.

    Be Well,

    Poppa

    In the first place it's a free give away for our users who have Pro Edition Strings and are upgrading to the VI Orchestral Strings.
    Maybe there will be a commercial product available later.

    They all look great, but I've been looking forward to seeing this one come alive. That will certainly accentuate the human side.

    Clarification request: if a user owns the full Pro Edition and only orders VI Orchestral Strings I (not II), is he still eligible for the Appassionata download?

    Herb,

    It's great to see that VI is finally being shipped. Now with the latest developments on the Appassionata (like the name) library, what approx.date would you expect to have this rapped up and ready for shipment?
