    Hmm. The old "open string" trick. I've encountered that before in rehearsal and dreaded the arguments that ensued afterwards. It's no different when a conductor asks for a louder forte or a softer piano-- and the request is not honored. The choices seem to be either hearing open strings sticking out or mutiny...

    I thought the VSL forum was the one place I could get away from string players who tend to be generally opposed to high end sample libraries that are finding their way onto film scores, etc., and in effect putting orchestral players "out of work" (in situations where there is, ironically, no budget for an orchestra anyway). By that statement I commend you for your deditcation to PE and VI (despite the keyboard comment!!). : )

    I was young in those days and a bit of a hooligan. Needless to say when I'm "on the box" people have been fired for less [:O]ops:

    Other than combining Solo, Chamber, and Orchestral string elements, it's still a little tricky to pin down your intent here. Please offer additional examples. Is this a case where there is just one note in a series, or a succession of notes with the articulation and vibrato you seek?

    It is always one note. The easiest example is the Eine Kleine opening. What I don't want is that pseudo Baroque cr*p that eases it's way into the longer notes. I think that I know which previous library has the right articulation so I'll try to find it (although I'll need to load that AKAI first).

    Oh, great, DG. I've been scratching my head now for almost 12 solid hours on this today alone. Thanks a lot!!

    Unfortunately, it's nearly 2 am. Perhaps tomorrow I'll try the the opening "...Nachtmusik" to see if I can get at all close.

    Actually I solved it weeks ago and was just conductor baiting. No, not really [8-)]
