Spitfire Bernard Herrmann Toolkit
And Pianoteq 6 for a good sounding tweakable piano with zero loading time

Heavier7strings.

After trying the demo, it was everything i expected and more. A one stop solution for everything Metal/Rock guitar related. When the inclusive amps/cabinets of a sample library are on par and better than third party amp sims, that alone is impressive.

Funny thing is: I haven't bought it yet

Then you must be a well-trained master of self-control. My due respect.

Intimate Testures from those I bought. Though the one that impressed me most from what I heard and saw this year was the Joshua Bell Violin. But I didn't buy it yet as I already have a fair collection of solo violins including the Virharmonic.

Anything Performance Samples!

Thank You! Well it's not gonna last for long. I'm saving the fatal purge for christmas week (new bigger SSD, Ipad, Iphone X and Heavier7strings). It's gonna hurt really bad.

Cinematic Studio Solo Strings. Hands down.

Very impressive demos. As I always do when I'm tempted to buy a new toy, I take a second (sometimes first) look at similar, perhaps frayed and neglected toys I already possess. I actually bought this old one in 2017 - https://www.vsl.co.at/en/Solo_Strings_Bundle/Solo_Strings_I#!Demos - and I should probably continue learning to make the most out of it before buying a shinier replacement.

Don't have it, but it made me think of Light and Sound Chamber Strings, which is bloody awesome. It's "playable" in a similar spirit to Performance Samples et al, in that depending on exactly how you depress the keys, you can make a short or a long, and the short is really a short, not just a truncated long. Exceptionately controllable via touch.

Here's some pieces where I used CSSS. So inspirational to work with.

Very nice. You know how to put a good string library to use! How would you rate it for out-of-the-box playability?
