  • Yeah that's true, this the kind of sound I've alway's failed to acheive with sample libraries.

    This is a really good example DG.

    The closest articulation is the Dim Strings  perf marcato. But it as stronger attacks. And there is a perf-Spiccato patch somewhere in the Orchestral strings or chamber strings (I don't remember wich one). We should give it a try.


  • Wow, nice! Yes indeed... This is the kind of sound I'd also love to reproduce convincingly! Thanks for the example!


  • Glad you guys like my example. At least it proves that it is possible to do using samples.

    Well that shows that it's not always easy to tell, with the right sort of music and articulations. To be fair, this example was from a custom, experimental product that I've been toying with, but not had time to finish. Perhaps I should.  [;)]

  • Great job! So it's not VSL...? Actually, this kind of sound is very important to me (I heard it a few times before in songs). I always thought it's possible with VSL but had not yet discovered on how to do it.

    No, it's not VSL. For a start, the person recording the samples was a well dodgy player.....

  • I tried this kind of phrase at the same tempo with the chamber strings perf-spiccato and dimension's perf-marcato. The result is quite good, maybe not as convincing as DG exemple but surprisingly good. I have layered only the Dim violins player 1 with the chamber violins.

    I don't have VSL solo strings dough.

    If only we can have this detache performance patch also for other than Solo strings. Nice example.


  • We need to put in a serious request to VSL. How could they omit this? I find myself spending considerable more time arranging ensembles compared to solo strings to get the desired sound. You could argue I can use regular detache (which I do), but again, it doesn't sound the same.
