Hate to be repetitive, but can we have a video demonstrating all legatos in detail please?

Not every state in the union has sales tax, like 5 or 6. And we have no national sales tax like the VAT. Who could enforce such a process? If you live in Washington state, you can cross to Oregon which has no sales tax. Can the EU/UK require the US/states to collect VAT on their behalf, and could the US require the UK/EU to collect states taxes on their behalf? If so, I suspect Spitfire may be trying to figure out 45 jurisdictions instead of VAT in Europe. My suggestion: every American purchaser acquire an address in a state tax-free state, right "Mom"!.Thanks... That explains it
"147 techniques" is misleading. To me it implies unique articulations, but that's not so. It counts, e.g., Short Tight left-hand-side and center as two different techniques. 20 Violas Short Tight is now a third technique. Really, I would think of that as a single technique "Short Tight".
The unique articulations:

Good idea... but, can you imagine 190 GO to download for a demo, you'll tell me, only a small part of the lib ? Maybe, but in that case difficult to really appreciate the "beast"... The best thing, is probably to wait for independent testers.Hi Spitfire,
Will you be releasing a demo version as it's a VST instrument?
$599 is too much for me not to pay and not test it first.
Cheers!

I regret buying the Zimmer piano for the price and abundance of practically unusable mic positions to beef up the "size" of the library... fearing the same on this.
If they are going to use his name, wouldn't it be nice to hear him composing a demo? putting your name on something should matter right?
If we are going to stop using our ears and be 'fanboys' ... not asking for a demo... not creating your own IR that reproduces the space... well, how many Hans Zimmer wannabes does this world need?

Pre-ordering this seemed like an easy decision.
The harder part I didn't expect was trying to upgrade some of my outdated win7 studio to support this. I've spent the best part of the last week overwhelmed in a tsunami of choice, unsupported Asian knock offs, dodgey reviews and endless wrong information trying to buy what I thought was going to be a simple computer. Have so far managed to shortlist down to about 14....

I think Jacob and Dave Fleming had enough notes from me to last them a life-time... i try not to interrupt anyone at BF unless it’s an emergency. And I certainly don’t want to influence their style.Maybe someone at Bleeding Fingers should weigh in on how often they get notes from Hans?
To answer a bit of that: The whole Zimmer Branding makes at least for me total sense as his music is popular and approachable and the learning curve to feature a couple of typical Zimmer idiomatics is much easier for beginners to learn and having a good feel and succes with. It creates a kind of self security because a film composer these days needs not to be the studying papers locked room guy anymore.
You don´t have to spent years studying filmscores of Korngold, Silvestri, Williams and transcribe a shitload of their music in order to write a half-descent tune in their style. So of course there is a business behind that because also rookies who start of can have some good quick results.
I see that with a closer friend who just starts of and he told me the other day: "Oh well,Alex, that is not that difficult as I thought." You cannot say the same of Korngold / williams music therefore there is (apart from the success of Hans Zimmer) no big market because to write idiomatic Williams will scare away most people, because it is not really approachable for beginners to just start with.
So of course those HZ Piano, Strings and probably the brass & Choirs will come one day too I think. It is an excellent showcase how perfect marketing is done these days because this is the times.
And again: No disrespect towards the library or HZ (I already mentioned it sounds cool), it is just the way how things make sense to me, just my opinion of course. And this name branding is nothing new of course, it is an old marketing strategy, but it is still very effective and therefore HZ Strings is a prime example of how its perfectly done.
I don’t religiously follow this forum - but are you saying you get direct notes from Hans?I think Jacob and Dave Fleming had enough notes from me to last them a life-time... i try not to interrupt anyone at BF unless it’s an emergency. And I certainly don’t want to influence their style.
...and kais0038, why don’t you ask me yourself?
