    Second...

    I must say (as far as I heard demos now) where are all the things we voted for? Cannot hear a big difference to the violins before...

    Herb, this cannot not be all. Please post some demolines of yours...
    THanks

    Matt


    Well - I have gotten what I voted for and far more. Herb said that recording Legato would be impossible due to the time that was for it. Now we have 3+ types of legato, staccato, sustains, dynamics and trills... All of it for free, and all of it better than any other string samples I ahve heard. So it might not be exactly what you wanted, but how can it be exactly what we all want? I'm really liking this..

    Chill [;)]

    The lines that were posted are quick and dirty [;)]

    To programm even a motif with 4 legato (1st note progVIB, 2nd Strong VIB, 3dNote Sfz, 4the note Decresc....etc...not to mention swelling velocity with modwheel....etc etc etc) notes properely...takes a hell of a long time.......

    And the posted Demos do not reflect that type of programming.....

    It's all in here ...believe me.

    Well it depends what he wants. [:)]

    Anyway, I would love to hear a demo from you when you get one done [H]

    Btw, I changed the midi for better legato in my orginal excert as well. Also added the slow tuning a few places.

    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...

    I'm not trying to start a bunfight, but if you are not entitled to download the Appassionata Violins then whatever you thought that you wanted or voted for is actually irrelevant. The people who have to be satisfied are the ones who are entitled to the download. If I'm wrong and you are allowed to download the new sounds then there is nothing to stop you from doing your own demo.

    I wonder what the lyrical vibrato sounds like...???

    Any demos possible?

    DG: there is no reason for talking like this!
    As a pro I am expecting some sounds that just blow me away... If you are satisfied with what you have got so far, great. I am happy for you...
    And I do NOT think that anyones opinion is irrelevant here since everyone can be a potential consumer to buy the library - but it has to be worth it!

    Hey...Your DG special - Isn't it 2 dx7's put slightly out of tune with about 3.5% of mod wheel....thru a boss guitar phazer????

    Ok.....I might be a bit wide of the mark - but these ears haven't let me down yet!

    Well - it is for sale in some way, since we have to purchase the OS1 in minimum to be able to download it (as owners of the pro ed etc.)...

    Get some lyrical demo here and I'll throw my two cents in... [[;)]]

    OK, in the spirit of good neighbourliness (is that a word?), post a short MIDI file of a solo line and I'll run it through any of the patches that Herb has outlined. I can't say fairer than that.

    Oh yes, and would you like a side order of reverb with that Sir?

    Is it normal the detaché sound ? I specially like the strong vibrato patch ... sounds good to use with the "old" violins.

    I have an idea for a demo, I'll try it

    i don't own pro edition... i'm for the vi cube ... buying pro edition would be kind of a step backward for double the price... just for the special strings thats in no relation. so i can all but kindly hope that vienna descides to release them as a fair pay version to all non pro edition owners.

    I've been playing around with Apassionata today, Herb has delivered for me, its a much better 'movie' string sound. I really appreciate this. It will stop me mixing in SI patches for my romantic /epic cues. Its a great bonus! The only major bummer is there is no leg-portamento. Jumping back to VI 14 leg port in the matrix doesn't work great for me. I also would love 'apassionata cellos'.

    I would rather have Zigane portamento for both 14Vln and 20Vln, as this is much more useable. However, there is nothing to stop you mixing a little portamento in with 20 Vln, as it is quite rare for a section to play the same portamento en masse.

    One mapping info might be useful:
    for all performance legato patches you can switch between normal and portamento using the A/B switch option.
    The same for the staccatos, using A/B to switch between tight and sloppy variations.

    I agree - I've been combining a little portamento Vlns in with the Appassionatas' - sounded pretty convincing when whacked thru the altiverb.....

    Nice!
