It's not going to be anything other than pairings in these supplements to AROOF. You'll have to wait for the main modular AR orchestra for that.

Trumpets and horns in octaves seem likely. Maybe Trumpets and Trombones in octaves. Or some combination thereof. I'm hoping this library might also have some mid-brass sustains as supplemental patches, since the trombones only go to middle C (with the low brass patch of AROOF) and I'd like something more trombone like rather than horn like in that midrange.

Weird how SF keeps delaying the high strings legato that was first teased for release but then quickly withdrawn, when was it, last May?

I missed this with the high strings… what exactly did they tease or promote for high strings legato?

I no longer recall the exact details. But when SF released one of the AROOF expansions back in May, I think, the iconography of the teasers indicated a string library as well as whichever library they did release, and they even posted some text on the website suggesting that high strings were on offer, but then when they actually did the announcement only one library was available, and the website was quickly and silently revised.

I mean, maybe it was some other kind of weird screwup that made it look that way, but that was certainly the impression I got.
 
Horns and trombones would be a really nice pairing. But if it's trumpets and trombones, I might be 50/50 for it depending on the articulations. Spitfire might surprise us and have braam in it (wishful thinking, of course).

"some random ass pairing again"

Random ass pairings are like the much mocked, here on VIC, pairings of French Horn + Tuba/Cello or Woodwind Ensemble + Glockenspiel overlay.

Most of the other ones are perfectly understandable and legit pairings, such as celli/bass, flute/piccolo, etc. but there are some very niche, or as I like to say, "random ass", pairings that have come out.

Horn and cello is hardly a random ass pairing but rather common. Your post read to me as dismissive, like you were down on any pairings that are the whole reason for these supplements. If you weren't, fine, whatever.

To clarify, these are absolutely different recordings to the base ARO library, there's no reused content.

Got it, thanks.

If they sound and function alike, it would be nice to be able to consolidate though, to save on disk space. If they're different, it could be useful to have multiple versions of the artics around.

Just stuff to think about as AR1 populates more of my template. :)
