    Hi,

    I'm trying to assemble a drafting system around Prime. This is the best drafting sound library I can imagine. However, I miss something that I use regularly, and that it would be nice to have right into the same compact package:

    • Strings harmonics, sul tasto and sul ponticello. I guess I can assemble them stealing from the major libraries, but a smaller Long patch wouldn't be bad at all.
    • Marimba. Here, again, I can get it from the major library, but still it would be nice to have it in the main library.

    I will not say about solo strings, because I know you are still working on the Synchron version. But maybe you can already start to add a compact version of the Solo Violin and Cello, that are the most used solo/first chair instruments in the orchestra.

    Something else that I may miss from Prime is a light version of the woodwinds ensemble found in the full Synchron collection. Now there are ensemble presets for brass, orchestral strings, chamber strings, but not woodwinds.

    Even better, I would love if both the full and the light editions could include a flute+clarinets and an oboe+bassoon ensembles. It makes more sense to me, rather than unisono between the two complemental woodwind timbres, producing a sound that is not often used in orchestral writing.
