Hello VSL team.
I think you made world best quilty libraries but I still have some dissatisfied points.
Are there any reason that almost of all perf-legato patches have only 2 velocities? That's not a big deal to ensemble patches because velocity crossfade works very welll but it's really a big deal to solo patches.
The reason that it's a huge problem for solo instruments is, blending effect is occurs when I use velocity crossfade : For example, if I use crossfade to solo string and I put my controller to 64 for playing mf or mp, I can hear duet sound rather than solo.
I really don't get it the reason that you only offers 2 layers for solo instruments even if you already made flute2 which has 3 layers.
I always pick flute 2 perf-legato grace patch as the best legato sample in whole library. It's pecfect except length of sound. The sounds are beatiful and I can use this patch to any scene even mp or mf strength music. On top of that, I don't need to care about blur effect even if I put my controller to 64.
Unlike this, I really disappointed to oboe 2. The sounds are great too and length of legato sounds are even more. However, It only has 2 layer like as other ordinary legato patches. The velocity layers are too extreme to use for medium volume scores because THERE ARE ONLY P AND F !!!!! So I had to make mp of mf oboe legato patch by cutting off high frequency which is bothering and non-realistic. So, I bought oboe-d'amore download instrument for replacing oboe but I disappointed again because it offered only 2 layers too.
This problem is same to solo brasses legato patches and especially bad to solo mute trumpet which is as bad as "drunken style" con soldino orchestral strings perf-leagto, and other solo woodwinds are not so different with it.(even if solo flute 1 and alto flute also have grace patch which are 3 layers, sounds are not good. From my persprctive, Normal leagto patches should have 3 legato rather than grace patch because sounds of grace patch are so exaggerated, sounds funny and close to synth) AND, I THINK I DON"T NEED TO SAY ABOUT SOLO STRINGS!!!
I'm not a mind reader so I cannot know what is VSL team's thinking but please don't say that you have a scheme of selling add-on for giving more layers to legato patches. However, let me tell you, I WILL BUY IF YOU REALLY SELL VELOCITY ADD-ONS TO PERF-LEGATO PATCHES!!! I'M NOT KIDDING!!!!
I purchesed solo strings 2 which is a last released product and I really disappointed about only 2 layers on legato patches. I don't need legato fast or trill patch. Yes, these are really usefull but given the choice between at least 3 layer for normal legato patch without any performance legato fast of trill and current 2 layers with it, I will undoubtly chose 3 layers without it.
Thank for reading this really long post and sorry for my poor English(I'm a Korean so please understand it)
Don't get me wrong, I really love VSL instruments and I just want to love even more.
Please consider this importantly dear VSL team, and I will be really happy if other user share ideas about this.
