I don't hate you Daniel, I hate your lazy approach to things like this. Had you chosen the basic Legato Slur patches and played the parts in, or really understood how they are designed to work, you would have had a better result. The bow change patches are the hardest ones to control.
Once again, you can't do that and expect it to be fair anymore than you can expect a manual transmission to behave like an automatic transmission. HS is best as a player's library, Nick is a good player. TJ is a good player, I am a good player. If you are going to program MIDI in, then you have to understand how the different patches react to cc11 with some patches while cc1 with some others and in tandem with still some others. Which with the patch choices you made, clearly you did not. There was nothing fair about it.
You are right about one thing, some libraries do sound better even in the hands of an inept user, like you were at that point at least, and HS is not one of them.
The proof is that there are people in this thread who just bought it and are already happy with what they are hearing. What does that tell you?
