    Can someone answer this question for me please. Why is it that the Eb Clarinet sample that comes in the SE Edition Extanded Library can play down to a F3, while the normal range should stop at G3 (I'm talking concert pitch here). It's not a big deal, but I was wondering.

    Thanks,

    I think VSE samples intervals and interpolates. Actually, regular DVD libraries may interpolate between whole tones vs. sampling every half-step; I forget. But whichever the case, my recollection is that the sample intervals are larger in VSE, and so they may have decided to go ahead and stretch the range by a half-step at either end since it isn't pure at each pitch anyway.

    I see. I had no ideas it involved a mix of the two methods.

    Thanks!
