Yeah, I’m agonising over it at the moment. I have Uno Corda which I love but I don’t have any solo strings.
I do like the “scratchy” sound of solo instruments that you don’t seem to get with ensemble samples. It would also solve the problem I often get into if too many string sections playing at once in my “mockups”.
Just don’t know if I can justify spending another £100.
I think if I make £200 or more at work today I’ll get it (if they haven’t taken it down by then).
The Felt piano is nice. I'm not sure it's going to blow you away since you have Una. The Artisans are nice, but are limited compared to other more detailed solo offerings. The shorts are great. Very scratchy with a nice dynamic range. The longs are really nice as well. The performance patch I'm not so sure of. The legato is not great, and it's vibrato is crazy heavy, especially on the cello. Sounds a bit frantic to me. It seems you can trigger a more progressive vibrato with a lower velocity, but it feels inconsistent. The more immediate one seems to get triggered when I don't want it to. I wish I could select where the velocity split is, cause for me, the immediate one gets trigger too easily. It sounds like a mellotron at times. I need to play around with it more.
For anyone who likes the individual patches instead of the various articulation patch, for the shorts, the round robins are set to 2 as opposed to the 6 that are available. I'm not sure why they did that. Also in the various patch the pizzicato has a silent rr. If you decrease the rr's from 7 to 6, it will fix it. I can't remember if that's on both the Violin and the cello, or just one of them.
I doubt I'll use the performance patches very much, but I'm glad I picked this up at such a large discount. Well worth it.
