I would think so, too. I mean Con Moto doesn't work with fast staccato. I've seen some of the videos from Voyage, so perhaps there's another way he will go about it, but i wouldn't mind having a separate keyswitch for fast round-robin short articulations. How would he even switch to pizz without keyswitches?
I think he can offer a separate patch for Pizz. Just a guess.
Sure, but you see how that's a less ideal solution, right? Lol!
Yes, I know what you mean, and that's why I'm curious to know more about how PS is planning to deal with multi-articulation switching in VOYAGE, given that it might not have any key-switches.

It doesn't seem to me like they're taking the Aaron Venture approach. They have short note patches separate from legato patches and it doesn't seem like they're going to be phase alignedWatch some Infinite brass and woodwinds walkthrough videos and experience enlightenment.

But seriously, keyswitches have their place for pizz, harmonics, col legno, fx etc. But for shorts, bends, trills and in some cases even measured tremolos, can be done with a single patch. Just play it in and you're done. Although Caspian didn't have samples for short repetitions, it handles the shorts, and longs perfectly fine. Vista was also surprisingly bitey and fast for playing marcatos and shorts - but again, lacking of repetition samples.
I think this gets the same response as the GUI discussion earlier. Except the fact that different articulations will all require different negative track delays, which is a solid reason to keep them separate.
Or a reason to script in a uniform delay for everything!
Sure, possibly. Either way, things like GUI or keyswitches really wouldn't affect my decision. I'm just pushing back against the idea that these basic features found in most libraries have anything to do with the premium. If it's something I can do myself (assembling a multi with the keyswitches I want) I'm not really sweating whether they put them together for me - I'm paying for the things I can't do myself, the recordings, the scripting, etc. I mean, it might even become more commonplace for developers to create articulation maps for us as well but I can't imagine it being a problem. Only thing I hate is when you can't create your own (Play), but that's just me.

The immediacy and feeling of having an actual instrument under your fingers you get from something like Oceania is unparalleled for me. No key switches, that thing basically reads your mind and does what it has to do in a spectacular fashion.
Haha.. That's what we need, VST-Instruments that read our minds, and then decide if they will cooperate or notthat thing basically reads your mind and does what it has to do in a spectacular fashion.
This is a really lovely patch. Beautiful tone, excellent dynamic range, and the "louré" feature with the pitchbend wheel works really well. Very playable patch and so satisfying to have believable, non-phrase based long repetitions that just sound right. Definitely recommend downloading this nice freebie, folks. This is only a tiny foretaste of what's to come with Voyage.A little test patch for your pleasures :D

Voyage Strings Pre-Alpha Patch
For my Facebook friends: here's a little taste of the sound of the strings from Voyage. These are the 4-viola poco espressivo sordinos - the original recordings, not the re-recordings. Seven dynamics.
Read the included information text for more. This probably won't be online indefinitely.
Also, since I know people are going to say something, it's not noise-reduced here - these samples are pretty much straight out of the editing software, and imported in with extremely minimal work. I will be doing some level of noise reduction on this, but it will be *extremely* minimal (there's a voice around MIDI D4 on low dynamics), and probably won't meet the standards of those who prefer cleaner samples.
Yessss!
My pleasure, thank you for watching!
OH. MY. BAJEEBUS. I could cry with happiness...I've wanted this control since like. forever....! Thank you so much!
Any chance you have a mirror online somewhere? : )A little test patch for your pleasures :D
