    Herb,

    I was wondering if there is a complete list of articulations and playing techniques that will be included in the Pro version of VSL? I saw the rough outline on the pricing page on the site, but was wondering if there is another more indepth list somewhere, be it on the site or in a thread in the forums (i.e. ranges you sampled, difference in ensemble sizes, etc.)?

    Also, this is just me asking, but may I ask why there wasn't a solo viola sampled? I could see the logic in the double bass because of its poor acoustical carrying power, but why not a solo viola?

    On the plus side, I saw the list of the percussive instruments and started drooling (sleighbells -- YES!). I'm torn between saving to buy the Pro Edition when it comes out and then purchase SI, or buy SI first and then get SI -- difficult choices.

    Thanks for the insight.

    Hello Russel,

    I'm working on this list. It will also include all files of the first edition.
    The list will be - hm - huge, so it will take a little time.

    We'll make a little redesign on our Demos & Products section.
    This articulation list will be placed there.

    The viola is a simple problem of capicity.
    The solostrings need really a lot of recording sessions.
    We have started recording solo viola and solobass a couple of weeks ago and plan to finish recording in August.

    Than we'll offer the missing solostrings as a little ad on. Don't worry it will be pretty cheap for the Pro Users.

    best wishes

    Excellent!

    I had asked because I didn't see one listed in the basic instrumental list, but the fact that you are making a solo viola and contrabass makes the library just that much more appealing to me.

    Thanks Herb.

    Herb,

    Great news about the solo viola and contrabass. I was thinking I was gonna have to wait until the Symphonic Cube... Wonderful!

    Thanks,

    What a wonderful shock! I am so glad that we can buy the other solo strings after they are completed. Ich kann nicht warten!
