    02 VI-14_trem_sus_fA -Orchestral Violins- is not sustaining across more than 3-5 seconds, the higher notes -A6 and higher konk somwhere between 2 & 3 seconds. Trying to emulate Bruckner Sym 4 or Mahler sym 1 would be impossible on this articulation. (!) In fact, eventually, after about 6 seconds, all notes of the range-bottom to top- will disappear. In other words no where in this patch can notes be sustained past 5-6 seconds.  Using long sustaind tremelo is a much needed articulation. Fortunately, the other tremelo sustained patches in  the Orchestral Violins work in all the ranges and for any period of time.

    Actually, 01 VA-10- trem_sus patch and 02 VA-10- trem_sus_fA patch-Orchestral Viola- won't  sustain past 2-3 seconds either. I don't have the full Orchestral Libray so I can't test Celli and Bass. I understand these patches loop continuosly so I considered maybe the hard drive was having a slow momemnt or took a siesta but continual testing shows this to not be the case as the other sustain in the orchestra viola library 03 VA-10- trem_sus_fA _auto patch will sustain for over 10 seconds! Also, I have not found any problems in sustained notes in any of the other libraries, so the system seems to be doing its part in looping sustained notes.

    Can anyone else duplicate this?

    On retesting the problem patches, I have timed it accurately to be holding only 3 seconds at most.

    I have all of the latest Vienna Symphonic updates that pertain to the patches and have run the directory manager to read all of the files on my system after installing the updates.

    That is weird. I use sustained tremelos often: sometimes for more than one bar. (One song immediately comes to mind in which I sustain the tremelo for two bars which at tempo is over 5 seconds.) I will be interested to see what you learn. FYI, I have the old SE/SE+ collection that has orch strings, solo strings, chamber strings, most wind and percussion, and a few samples of Appassionata. I bouhgt this in Feb 2011. I don't think that particular collection is available in that form anymore, but I should have the same orchestral samples as everyone else, except that I have whole note and not semitone samples.
