After few weeks from the launch of the new VI (and few days from the last nice update), I was reading comments and listening to demos.
I think one point has not been checked and discussed yet enough, and it's what makes this VI so special to me: the Physical Modeling approach, enabling a set of new features, like the mimic of real instrument behaviour in response to playing technics (bow/fingers position, direction, speed, pressure etc.).
I find this a bit challenging, but definitely stimulating and opening new options for MIDI programming, so I did some experiment: I take a video of a performance, and I try to use it as a source of inspiration, not only for the musical content (time, expression etc.) but for the technical gestures as well (looking to the pressure, position, bow changes, vibrato etc.).
Here you find a link to my video, with the sound track replaced by the MIDI rendition: it's a rough experiment, nothing perfect in sync or sound, but I think it's already showing some of the instrument potential features, almost impossible with traditional sample based VIs and libraries.
Well... if actually you find Yo Yo Ma original performance better than my rendition, I won't be offended Any feedback is welcome by the way...
