  • Solo strings - vibrato on lowest note?

    I'm just curious… I was playing around with the "03 VI_perf-legato_Vib-progr" sample on solo violin and when I played the lowest note possible (G3) there was still vibrato. Then I realized that almost all patches have vibrato on G3. How did you do that? Did you record and pitch down a G#, or did you pitch the string down to F#? I thought there was at least 1 sample per note? I would actually prefer that the lowest note is played "non-vibrato" - like in reality, instead of having to switch sample manually.

     Yes, I found this an unpleasant surprise too.  It seems totally out of keeping with VSL's depth and detail of sampling.

    yeah, I see no reason why vsl would to do something 98% complete, so I'm pretty curious what they have to say about this. what's the reason to record unrealistic samples, or, if that's not the case, why not record the lowest note?

    Hello

    Since the Solo Strings are a very long time on the market 200? you may assume that you are not the first guys who are discussing this subject.

    Here is a link to a thread in 2006 http://community.vsl.co.at/forums/p/9072/67802.aspx#67802 which also contains an answer of Herb!
