    In some ways it was a good thing that there was no discount on the initial price of VI. Otherwise we wouldn't have this Appassianata library, a gift from Herb. At least not so soon.

    Herb -

    Can you tease us with a couple 10 second samples. One - scale tones - the other playing legato intervals??

    Come on Guy - don't scare Herb away from this request [[;)]]


    2 - 10 second samples. Personally I prefer sample library demos that are just the instrument in question - playing the few most important articulations. I think all of us know samples well enough to know if it is "cuttin' it". Things are not 'doubled', eq'd, tucked below, etc. - just out there exposed for all to hear. [[:D]]

    [quote=herb]I was looking for an additional attractive premium bonus for our Pro Edition users ...
    ....
    What do you think?


    Yeeeeesssss!!! Herb!

    To be honest when I upgraded from Pro to VI I was very dissapionted with the Sound of the Orch.Strings VLs. They haven´t improved i bit. And we all were expecting a warmer, expressive etc. sounding section with the release of VI anyway.
    So you know what to do...

    Best regards

    I'm too lazy to read through the 18 pages but will this at least be for sale for those who aren't pro users? I'd kill for some good violin samples...but I can't afford to upgrade to pro edition.

    Those who own Pro. Edition Strings and who update to the VI Orchestral Strings I.

    Here's how I think it should be. [H] Those with pro edition get it for free, those with first edition stuff should be allowed to pay for these violins. It would be a nice gesture to someone like me that spent almost 3 thousand canadian on the first edition orchestral cube. [:)] Just a wish...

    If I'm not mistaken I think Herb said they would eventually be sold as a separate library.

    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.

    .....

    Wow: This is some of the best news in sampling I've heard in a long while!

    Expression is the FIRST thing we demand from our musicians in real life acoustic performances. Yet it's been the last or most non-existant element we've had in sample libraries for so long.

    Congrats Herb on the wonderful VI library. I love how the demos are isolated patches / performances.

    ...still waiting on the violas sul ponticello.

    I agree that "romantic" violins would be nice--right now it's either soft-as-feathers or bitingly harsh--but I'd like a complete Pro Edition before I start spending $$ for new stuff.

    How about it? Violas sul ponticello please. pretty please!

    The Pro Edition only includes ponticello for the Violins. For no other string section ponticello is listed or promoted in our articulation lists.
