Single patch, although both 1st and 2nd violins are Appasionata, and in the last segment 2nd violins play two lines. And not only do they sound big - they sound great! [:)]

Question herb... and I guess it goes for the other _4lvel legato patches. Are the two extra layers from the sustain patches, or how are they constructed? Thanks.

Thanks for the info Herb. But are you certain that there are only 2 layers for pfp and VI-20_dyn-me_cre? I could have sworn there were 2 layers.

Best,
Jay

christian i agree. the strings indeed sound great ... more

herb, please make this buyable!

Can we please get single demo lines of the strings, single notes to have a listen too.


I can understand that the enthusiasm is really big about the demo of Chris, but it sounds too rich to be able to really hear what the sound like...

Demos please, Herb...

Like this? Still has verb and a few of my secret mixing tricks... But a completely dry demo makes little sense. These are suppose to be wet with passion! [:)]

(ps. Last note sounds out of place without the other strings)

christian, this ain't performance legatos, are they? i do miss the legato transitions between the single notes

Well there may have been a few gaps. I have closed the obvious ones.. but yes it is legato.. and sounds it to me atleast. [:)]

Try listen again to the new upload.

nice. i'm actually playing the same line with the VI OS1 to hear the difference.
the apassionata sound seems a bit softer. it's exactly the thing we tried to achive using filters with the existing orchestral strings in the past.

Herb,

Regarding alternations.....How many on Perf-Trills? I think I'm counting 2 for each VEL Layer.....


Also I think it is 2 on Stacc etc...

thanx,

SvK

I am missing the "shiver of passionate vibrato"!!!

Of course there must be other articulations as well, cause the string in Chris' demo do not differ very much from the OS1 string sound.
They sound pretty the same as EWQLSO Strings....

Are there samples with nice vibrato, as we all suggested?

OK, my turn. One version is Appassionata Violins, one is DG Passion Special. [URL=http://darylgriffith.com/production/vsl/Which_is_which.mp3]Which is which?[/URL]

DG

There is a heavy vibrato legato and sustain. I just used the regular one. And to my ears it sounds way better than EWQLSO strings... It also differs from OS1, both in sound and programming. Its clear that VSL have gotten even better at what they do!

What is DG special? My guess is also that the second is passionata

Sorry - nothing to listen to. Is it an mp3?
Please psot an mp3...

Thanks

Matt

Thanks for the Demos, guys. Keep 'em coming!!
