    I've been looking over the various VSL offerings the past days. 
    What I see mentioned a lot are "fast repetitions" articulations. 

    Considering they're all at set tempos, 170-200 BPM or so, I'm wondering what people use these for? Or do they lock to host tempo? 
    What are these valuable for? 

    Somebody? 
    Thank you!

    You use them when you want to play fast repeated notes. [;)]

    They don't lock to tempo, so you have to pick the correct patch that sounds good with your track. I would suggest trying them out to see whether or not they are useful to you. I find the,m particularly useful with strings, where it is quite common to have fast repeated notes.

    In the new sampler (Vienna Instruments Pro, due out any time now) we'll apparently be able to time stretch these patches!! [^]
