I was surprised to see Viola Expansion 2 on the page, since the Viola isn't even out yet.

Yeah, that's what it said in the comments to the page as well. It was just surprising to see, and I initially did a double-take, and wondered if I'd somehow missed the viola launch!I believe there was a blog on the Composer's Input page that mentioned they would be releasing Vln Exp.2 before the Viola, but that when the Viola is released it will go straight up to Exp. 2
No, you didn’t miss it ;DYeah, that's what it said in the comments to the page as well. It was just surprising to see, and I initially did a double-take, and wondered if I'd somehow missed the viola launch!
I have both!No, you didn’t miss it ;D
Its a wait with virharmonic, but eventually it will be an interesting vi.
PS: Do you have either of them btw? Violin/cello?
same here....so the viola is on the list.I have both!
I would surely.Demos sounds great. Recommend this library?
I would surely.
It does have its own tone and characteristic that is different then f.e. embertones joshua bell’s violin.( leaving out the cello atm)
This is a very playable lib, but if you want to get specific ( which I recommend) then you can do a lot more with it then only the playable part can do for you
I found the transition from the first version of these instruments to the second version difficult, and I still tend to go back to the original violin when I just want to noodle, as it seems to conform better to my playing. I also find that I have to write for the sweet spots of the new versions of the instrument—it's harder to get it to do what I want even though the new instruments are much more flexible than the originals. I've also found it hard to get the violin and cello to play well with each other, since each instrument seemingly has its own mind about the material.This is a very playable lib, but if you want to get specific ( which I recommend) then you can do a lot more with it then only the playable part can do for you
Similar experience. There is something about the expansions as they are now that feels to intermediate.I found the transition from the first version of these instruments to the second version difficult, and I still tend to go back to the original violin when I just want to noodle, as it seems to conform better to my playing.

Overall, though, they are very fine instruments, and my comments are just nitpicks.
