I just found that Best-Service announcment. I dont complain anything about, it is just a bit funny that Best Sevice was a bit to fast. However I expect I won't take long that we can use the Syn-Percussion with the Player for which they are made for this will make things much easier.
(the so called "Synchron Strings fiasco" was imho simply a forum-rage-fiasco of some less-reflected Forum-posters who cant stop raging without the necessary serious insight of what they are raging about. In short they have been used to work with their previous VSL-Libraries and are obviously not curious enough to explore somthing in so many aspects new. It is good, that talks like that run out of excitment, the day after everybody woke up and realises, that VSL is still unbeatable when it comes to orchestra libraries. that is imho the whole story.)
Nevertheless, VSL do need their development time and that better than releasing beta-Versions. However I expect their Plans to release the whole Synchron-Orchestra have been a bit different as it now turned out to be now. We have to be patient. And as an old german proverb put it "to be patient might be hard but has its benefit".
