I’m really loving Fragile Strings as I go deeper into it.
It’s not what I expected at all. It’s really not a harsher version of OACE, although the episodic and extreme patches (which I haven’t looked at yet) very probably add that too, and the walkthrough seems to focus on the sound design aspects, which I’m not interested in myself either.
In fact the first 24 “traditional” evos are subtle, gorgeous, articulations in their own right sit nicely with OACE as a gentler more subtle textural layer. And I don’t think the walkthrough really gives you a full sense of this part of the palette.
So I can’t answer this for anyone else, but definatively: yes, I do, as it turns out, need both.
@jbuhler and an I are, kind of “live-blogging” as it were, our experiments in figuring out what this library is about over on this thread, if anyone wants to join in.
TL;DR - loving the Ton this year.

Fragile Strings vs OACE - beyond underscore and fx
There's been a lot of people asking "Why do I need Fragile Strings when I have OACE" recently, and having just picked up this Evo myself, it strikes me that beyond sales, this is quite an interesting question musically. Because, Iit's easy sit down with a library like OACE or Fragile Strings...
