Tokyo Scoring Strings: Patch 1.0.7 available (fixed short notes)

Hmm this means that JXL brass might actually go well with TSS me thinks

If we are talking about Octopath style - I disagree, group sizes are only one part of the equation, the room is way different. Plus we can assume recording style, and setup is vastly different too. That is not to say you couldn't get JXL Brass to sound good with TSS, you probably could. I'd start with turning off the top 1-2 dynamic layers, and then dig in to the mic mixer... I have a large chunk of JXL, it's a great library!

Until ISW comes out with the matching brass library, I'm going to try Infinite Brass in MIR Pro (one of the studios should get close). I kind of wish I had Dimension Brass, that might work great too (with a MIR studio setup).
 
Because of its size, you can blend TSS quite easily with your other libraries if you employ some quality early reflections to get them to share a common tone. However, what you are doing is morphing TSS to share a broader space with your other libraries. Going the other way around is quite difficult, and you'd have better luck with our future installments if you wanted the tighter sound. Even close mics of hall/stage-recorded libraries have noticeable tails in the background; mic positions are not enough to change the room reflections themselves.

Thought I'd just stop by, see what's going on, check on that walkthrough video, and of course, say I'm very excited! :emoji_grinning:

Hello! The walkthrough video is still in progress, sorry! It will most likely be shared Monday or Tuesday of next week, which is a little later than we hoped, but it should answer many of your questions and give you a good sense of what the library can do. I appreciate your patience (and your enthusiasm!) and ask that you bear with us just a little longer. 😊

Looking forward to it!

I imagine the vast majority of people are totally cool with this so long as a walkthrough comes before the pre-order period ends (which y'all have already confirmed). I've only really seen people get snippy here if the price adjusts before more than a few audio clips are out!

The pre-order period still has a long while to go, so the walkthrough will absolutely drop long before then. The filming is happening right now, it just got delayed because we adjusted the UI contrast a little bit in response to feedback.

PURCHASED! - Was hesitant considering that I had almost all of Spitfire's products, but these do sound very different from the standard chamber or studio strings we get from the more popular sample library developers. Feels like a cross between studio and pop strings to me.

It reminded me of this track:

And I had to look it up, and found that it was really recorded in the same space as TSS! - though a different engineer.

Sounds quite similar to one of the tracks from Nier.
 
@scoringdreams Oh yeah, baby! Emi Evans, the legendary singer who is able to convey deep emotions using only gibberish lyrics and without using any dynamic with an f whatsoever!

Sorry for the fanboying.

Now, in all seriousness: I think TSS should be able to handle this kind of style without any problems in terms of timbre AND, most importantly, in terms of phrasing, thanks to the four kind of legatos and the 3/5 dynamic layers.

Today we have another new demo from esteemed composer Ben Hicks, who places TSS in the context of a full orchestral mockup. The violas here are particularly sonorous. Please enjoy "Ikigai" below!

I just love how this library not only hits the sound profile, but also seem to ooze of the exact kind of musicality that is the very reason I'm so fond of Japanese soundtracks in the first place. Lovely!

You really seem to have captured the perfect articulations and performances for this style. <3
