For anyone who owns SSS can also try how the library deals with measured trems?
here is the midi and the short rendition I did pretty quick back then CSS was released during june this year.

The maes Trems patch in SSS is fundamentally different in programming, it is a looped sustain of maes trems which goes on forever when holding the note, but the loop has no round robins. The loop length is almost two bars. Dynamics are controlled with CC1 instead of note velocity. To do a lot of short accents in the phrase with SSS maes trems is a lot harder since dynamics are controlled with CC1 and acts like when playing and controlling sustain patch dynamics. Since the loop has no round robbins, with this midi file SSS maes trems would sound like machine gun galore, and wouldn't do justice to the beauty of the patch.
I don't have CSS yet but I concluded by watching the demo that the feature to control maes trems with note velocity makes it more suitable for these action type sequences with lots of accents in the phrase. How many round robbins does this patch have? Is it correct that for every repetition you have to hit the note again? How well does it play live on the keyboard. Does it require programming afterwards, or does it already sound good when jamming on the keyboard? The CSS patch would be a major reason for me to get CSS, since I don't know of any other library that can do it that way. (I know adagio has a spic bounce patch but it isn't time syncd)
