Single plugin!It's going to be 4 different plug ins by the looks of things?..
Seems like we are in the same boat @Pixelpoet1985. These are exactly the two points that did not convince me so far: the timbral range of the strings, and the fast legatos. All the rest sounds really nice.
Nice tone, but I'm surprised how quiet these instruments sound with the mod wheel maxed out.
Maybe they realized the panning is reversed and they fix it before reuploading?
unfortunately there is no information on thatWas it mentioned anywhere which dynamics were recorded? For USD 999 I was wondering where corners were cut.
If you watch the voice count in the walk through videos, right at the start of a phrase that he plays, you can see the number of layers used for the patch. The long brass patches have a voice count of 3 plus the cuivre makes 4 dynamic layers which should be good to capture the various timbral changes.Was it mentioned anywhere which dynamics were recorded?

I kind of got the impression that the BBC SO was maybe subsidizing a bit of this? They said it was a collaboration?Was it mentioned anywhere which dynamics were recorded? For USD 999 I was wondering where corners were cut.
It's something along the lines of a joint venture. Both the BBC (commercial) and Spitfire have put money into the pot to pay for the studio, musicians etc. Presumably the profits are split too.I kind of got the impression that the BBC SO was maybe subsidizing a bit of this?

I could be wrong, of course.

For the strings it will be harder to estimate the layers since the instruments have vibrato control. If we assume a recorded nonvibrato and vibrato per layer we may estimate the dynamic layer count by simply dividing by 2. Of course the staccato attacks add to the voice count so I'd use the sustain showcase for this instead of the legato patches. However since string sections do have a pretty homogeneous timbre across dynamic layers I'd be ok with 3.
Great observation!
So for example, here is only one note and the value of the voice counter is 6
On that given note there is the portamento sample at the beginning, 1 non-vib, 1 vib layer, 1 release so there are only 2 dynamic layers on the legato patches?
Or the plugin is able to respond so quickly to unused layers that it takes out of memory?
Maybe I misunderstand it, I don't know.
It would be great a comment from Spitfire about dynamic layers of legato, long, staccato, spiccato, at least.
When Paul starts to play the normal long, he plays a triad if I can see well and the counter shows 12 voices. The number of layers of dynamics from this is not clear to me. But yes, it makes sense: "So maybe 3 dynamic layers and 2 of them have crossfadeable vibrato?"I'm just assuming they trigger the sustain samples for a played note all at the same time, not taking into account the current relevant CC value which is how East West seem to do it. At ~50 seconds it shows 5 voices. So maybe 3 dynamic layers and 2 of them have crossfadeable vibrato?
