    My favorite patch is a intervall legato espressivo with sordinos.
    There will be a general "new articulations" overview for all collections online in the next days.

    Herb - is that a sort of stacking patch - or just all one patch name?

    Thanks.

    Can I have an idea of the string arpeggio? Speeds? Range? keys?

    What is the 'expressivo' part of the equation??? Is the vibrato cross faded (deeper with a controller function). If so - very cool (hopefully it is not just filter stuff).

    Well, the strings are played espressivo. And yes, you can crossfade this patch with any other legato of the string section.

    I'm hoping that (Stings I, and Strings II) of the Symphonic cube sound much better than the Pro-Edition strings. (which was the main reason why I did not buy the VSL Pro-Edition).

    I'm Looking forward to hearing the Strings I & II, of the Symph.Cube.

    Strings I and II are the " MOST CRITICAL " Part of the Symphonic Cube as far as I'm concerned, and I'm sure they will sound better.

    Optimistic ?

    Yes, I am.

    While no other developer gets EVEN close to VSL on the WW's / legato (and most not equal on the brass - escpecially the Epic Horns) - VSL's strings are needing a facelift. Personally, I find myself still hiring string players to play on top of ANY sample string library - just loved to not have to go to that expense to get an expressive string section (especially the higher range material).

    My expectations of the new string recordings/programming is realistic, though. IMHO, we are 5 years before ANYONE comes close to a real string section. I fool most musicians with most of the other sections, but strings... [:'(]

    The day will come though - my bet that it will be VSL that will accomplished this momental task.

    While this will all be revealed eventually, I am really quite curious as to how things are divided between Strings I and Strings II?
    As an Opus bundle owner, would getting only one (purely for financial reasons of course! [[;)]] ) be a coherent upgrade? Does the StringsII package focus more on new things that were not previously available, and thus make a more tangible (purely in terms of new articulations) 'upgrade'?
