SoNowWhat?
realised I can type here
I love this library. Can’t wait for the update. Still haven’t explored everything in it. Oooh, aleatoric patches. That’s gonna be a whole lotta fun if it’s anything like as good as the rest of the library.
Hi Jonas,I can't find the trills patches.. which nki includes those?
yes, we'll try to do that. It's just time that is our #1 enemy at the moment...Hi George @Strezov, is the 1.2 or a later version going to include a FULL patch for the Scene D'amour portatos and the Minimalist Portatos? In the similar way like there is a FULL patch for the Minimlist Legatos. That would be very useful and welcome to be able to do Portatos with just one patch when doing sketches. Thanks. Still loving the library as much as on the first day I bought it.
You’ve nailed it there. I completely agree. Can still make them extra lush/defined/ethereal or whatever you want with some post processing but they are beautiful right out of the box. I just get carried away noodling about.These strings are so incredible sounding, expressive and satisfying without layering, eq or much processing at all. Scene d’Amour and Vintage being the favorites right now. Thank you George for Afflatus! Can’t wait for Scene d’Amour celli
The 1.1 update? Maybe 1.1 downloads are disabled if 1.2 is coming soon?Has anyone had problems downloading the update? I tried from my user account and it told me it was expired. Which seems weird.

--------------------------------------I don’t think an ultimate string library exists or ever will due to the nature of (technical) developments
If there is one feature request I come accross whilst increasingly using afflatus is : one patch per section ( mostly V1, Violas, Cello) where the legato ( in monophonic use) has more options (2minimally) with different attack choices.
Off course our australian friend has created a strings lib where this is present in good quality, but the vibrato does stand out when using in conjunction with Afflatus.
My phrasing may be incorrect, I do use the overlap/non overlap function in the various patches.--------------------------------------
The library already features what you are talking about. There are separate section on a lot of the patches (Minimalist, Scene D'amour, Lush Strings, Chamber Strings, etc) and the legatos have the option of being Monophonic - All you have to do is turn of the Overlap function in the GUI. Which legato patches are you talking about that do not have separate sections?? Only one I can remember that is not separated sections is the Vintage Violins and Cellos/Vlas, but that one is really not intended to be separated, because it is a certain sound to have VLS I and II playing together, and Cellos and Vlas playing together. Not sure I understand what your request is...
The sounds and styles presented in Afflatus are vast in terms of colours and playing techniques. From modern minimalist to golden age and lush epic string ensembles - it's all inside just one collection, which makes Afflatus a great extension to other string libraries covering the bread and butter articulations as well. Here's a live playthrough of the Minimalist String Section.
