Holy sh*t! I have a bunch of solo violins already but this baby is the first one that sounds like a real one! Will definitely get this as soon as I can afford! Awesome demos!

This is a big step forward !
A must buy.
I hope a different opinion won’t excite too much remark, but … if it had sounded good, yes. Unfortunately, I can’t say that it does. It’s that feline-in-distress sound again, a timbre which, more than anything, conjures up images of non-plussed veterinarians and weeping pet-owners, rather than competent engineers, skilled musicians and quality instruments.
At least, that’s what, to my ears, all the demos posted thus far seem to point at: not a good sound. (And I had hoped that the International Court in The Hague had the authority by now to forbid the public airing of demos like the Paganini.)
Personal opinion, of course.
On the plus-side: the technical innovations and performance possibilities seem indeed quite extra-ordinary. Put better samples, a bit less sample-filtering and much better-sounding IR’s in this engine — "if only"'s that also come to mind when working with the UniqHorn and the Woodwinds — , and the wave of enthusiam for this library might begin to look a little more inviting.

Let's also not forget, this is a very subjective area, some might really like a specific violin timbre/character others might hate it. So, it's not easy to please all ears. Just like our taste in gourmet cuisine.
Agreed)Just listened to the "Stardust" demo. Color me very impressed. Well done, Chris!
I would disagree on that, once sound engineering/mixing is concerned. While there is some subjectiveness and personal preferences on the "good sounding" part of the spectrum, with some perfectionism involved, personal "know how" etc. The "ain`t good" part of the spectrum, or borderline below which things stop being pleasantly sounding - is pretty objective, and universal among sound professionals.
Thanks ChrisHi Jono, the writing is good, but you are right, the faster passages don't sound right.
You should use the Note-Heads for the faster notes to tighten the attacks.
Its really simple. Just set them to "stack" and draw some MIDI CC2 data in you DAW's editor.

Chris excellent instrument you have created! Most playable solo Violin I have!!!Hi Jono, the writing is good, but you are right, the faster passages don't sound right.
