What library do you want that does not yet exist?

I just need Legato string harmonics with portamento transitions. It's such a characteristic sound but I'm not aware of any libraries that have it. Berlin Strings can somewhat replicate this sound with the Special Bows expansion but sadly they haven't sampled harmonics transitions.. I use some chopped harmonic glissandi to mimic the effect but I'd love to have a better solution.
 
It would be very interesting to see Orchestral Tools make an attempt of making something similar to Spitfire Chamber Strings (but with a 5-4-4-4-4 or 5-5-5-5-5 instead of 5-3-3-3-3 configuration).

An attempt from any company - including Spitfire - of making something like Olafur Arnalds Chamber Evolutions, but more playable, would also be very welcome.
 
Id like to see more acoustic/ hybrid oriented libraries, like a bluegrass library with some hybrid ideas in it. The trick is to make the hybrid section subtle and useful with flexible meat’n potato sounds, and ofc the main instruments playable.

I'd be interested in some playable and detailed fast trumpet repetitions with character and personality.

There's trumpet reps in existing libraries to be sure, and they can get the job done. But when I hear a real trumpet player doing those fast tongued reps in concert pieces and in film scores, I just think there's so much personality and detail that I've not come across in sample land yet.

I definitely feel you, but CineBrass is really quite good at this. The score I'm on at the moment is super Elfman inspired and CineBrass is MVP so far.
 
I'm hoping that Native Instruments will continue their Discovery series with the installment dedicated to the Japanese instruments. I'm aware that there are quite a few detailed Kontakt replicas of those already, but they're quite expensive, especially if you won't be using them all that often.

It would be also great if Embertone continues to release those affordable yet expressive wind libraries like Jubal Flute and the others. I would particularly like to see their versions of pan flute, shakuhachi, oboe, and English horn. :)

To expand on that, I would love to see a well-sampled Nyckelharpa (Keyharp). It's a traditional swedish instrument that just has so much character and nuance in my opinion. Unfortunately, it's hard to play so it's not very easy to find a player to work with.

Here are two video-game tracks that uses Nyckelharpa beautifully in my opinion:

World of Warcraft "Grizzly Hills":

Closer to traditional music, starts around 0:20.

League of Legends "Freljord Theme":

Incorporated into a more epic style, appears now and then throughout the full track.

Would be very cool to see!

Do you not like the Soniccouture one (or, to be precise, two)?

Edit... and as long as I'm in this thread...

There are only two instruments I've owned and regretted selling for any reason other than "could have sold it for more money 10 years later". A Windsor bass banjo (in English terminology; Americans would call it a cello banjo, and it was tuned CGDA) circa 1920, and a Fury Fireball baritone guitar made by the late Glenn McDougall. Both deep, twangy, and good luck finding another one.

Speak of the Devil, the Devil appears. Such a baritone just popped up on Reverb for about $1500. If it's still for sale by the time I finish recording my next set of samples, I'll grab it and sample it.

That could happen, as they've done Cuba, India, and Balinese Gamelan (although the last one isn't like the others). But they've also done West Africa and Middle East Discovery libraries. So my belief is that the Komplete 13 Discovery is more likely to be ASIA, and will incorporate China and Japan, and possibly some more Asian instruments.

Whatever it turns out to be, if it follows the pattern of KU12, it will be released this summer.
 
I'd love to see a collection library of Asian string instruments. Like the koto, pipa, ruan, dotara, the whole lot of them. An extensive collection from across the whole continent, sampled using players from the region who really master their techniques. Sampled as extensively as possible, using production and other recording/mixing conventions as they are in their place of origin. So don't produce a koto library like a western producer would, but like a Japanese producer would.

I would love a matched set of solo conical-bore brass - tuba, euphonium, tenor horn, flugelhorn and cornet, beautifully recorded (dry), with comprehensive articulation sets please :)

You’re missing Baritone in there also and two different Tubas in Eb and BBb. I guess Eb cornet also.

I actually haven't tried it, but the demos didn't sell me at all actually. It just doesn't sound good in my honest opinion.

I'm in the same boat - I really can't get into the sound of the SC one. The one in ERA II sounds great, but I have a bug with the timestretched patch that makes it difficult to use.

The Tagelharpas in Dark Era give a similar character though, and sync to tempo nicely.
