Sounds really nice and I look forward to this! Thank you for the update, Colin.Guys,
Here is an update on the progress of Century Brass 2.0 (and Strings!!!!!). I've just finished two new mixes, placing all of the instruments in traditional orchestral seating positions. The first new mix is a tight, punchy, Alan Sylvestri type of sound. The second is a more spacious Abbey Road mix. I imagine most Century users will end up using one of these new mixes, but the individual mics are still included for my fellow obsessive nerds....Separate patches for each mix/mic are included to address issues with loading times on some systems. We've had some users creating individual patches themselves, and I don't want them to have to do that in 2.0.
The other addition I've been working on are release trigger versions of Arcs and Marcatos. The speed knob versions are still there (again, just for my fellow obsessive nerds), but the release triggers versions sound great and are more playable.
I'm also working on new mixes for Century Strings and Century Strings Sordino. Both Century Brass and Strings will have the same 2.0 updates. Current Century users can attest, the libraries are quite LARGE. Re-mixing and programming takes a long time. The brass is essentially 9 different libraries in and of itself, each requiring a different mix approach etc. #FUN!!! Century Brass 2.0 will be released first, followed by strings 2.0. I'll announce date as we get closer.
My ONLY work with 8Dio currently is this 2.0 update. I'm not producing any new libraries until this is complete. Please be assured that we will get the updates out as soon as we possibly can. The libraries are just over 1 year old, and 2.0 (so far) is making a big difference! I think our users will be happy.
Best,
Colin

Hi there,thanx for the update,but ...the libraries are quite LARGE
simply right click on expression-select learn and then move the mod-wheel.That should do it instantly!Is there a way you could connect the dynamics (CC1) and expression (CC11)
Policy?--What has been 8Dio's policy on upgrades from previous versions?
THX!

You can simply learn a CC to the Kontakt volume and set the strength in the midi automation TAB of Kontakt in %. That way you can add dynamic to the mod wheel (i.e. CC1 to volume from 30 to 60%). Takes just a few seconds per patch. I do this with a lot of libraries (including CSS).The current dynamic range on many articulations is just too small (and very unrealistic) without additional CC11.
