Sounds quite good

This whole conversation has also made me more interested in playing around with the envelopes in Dimension Strings. It's much more powerful than I realized before. It gets me anywhere from a really aggressive and painful portamento to a fairly smooth glissando. I don't own Synchron so I can't speak to its use there, but I have high hopes.
 
Guy, your new demos have ALMOST convinced me to give Synchron a shot and see how it works in my own hands. But I'll hold out and see when the final player + final library is done. I really don't want to spend hours and hours setting up matrices, fiddling with attack/release/"blur" settings etc. I believe a library like this should work pretty good out of the box and THEN you can do your personal tweaks. It seems like it needs a lot of work right now to get started.

I know that nothing is gonna fix my feeling that it lacks vibrato and life, but still it might turn out to be a useful library in some cases. And if we could just convince the VSL team to go back and record a couple of extra layers with more vibrato/expression it might even become really useful.

While i understand these types of sentiments and I really hope I am not miss read.

First and foremost any library purchase should be a personal choice, to rely on another users muck up is very unreliable as you really need to consider the advanced skill level of the one performing the muck up.

Second you should not cancel out other options when considering a new library what you can't find in one library you will find in another, I myself have found what I need in SyS but if I did not there would be nothing in the whole world that would stop me looking elsewhere.

I understand that at the moment this library is in a unique position in that it is incomplete and there are still one or two finishing touches to be made to the library but to plead to the Developer and say please do this or please add this for me and I will purchase your library when 1000s have already made up there minds.

There are just to many options out there to just try and force some ones hand for our own personal sake.

I have read many quotes and heard many demos on this thread demos of liberty's that are not SyS or not even VSL but these quotes and demos the impression is that users are over the moon with them so it reinforces the idea no one needs to be held to ransom by any one Developer or library there is just too many on offer to be hung up on just one library

Lastly I would say and remind people that purchasing a great library does not take away hard work especially to the trained ear,
It may be the library of your dreams but you should not be deluded into thinking its going to make your compersition sound great with out hard work and a certain skill level and living with the library for a while (getting to know it)

Gold is buried deal with in the earth,
You have a big part to play with your hard work and skill two bring the buetty out of a library.

Can you explain what you mean by envelopes in DS a bit more? I wish there was a true ADSR per element so I could shape layered samples and fade out the sustain portion of one sample while fading in the sustain portion of another sample. Please feel free to PM me on this.
 
@Guy
I already asked for it, but never received an answer. Since you have the full version could you post a brief comparison between standard and full library? That would be so nice.

I'm referring to the Attack, Release, and Legato Release sliders in particular, but there are a couple more than just those. I sort of forgot all about them and was messing with Dimension Strings, wishing the legato was a little less dramatic, when this thread reminded me those sliders are there! Made all the difference. The sound I was going for was more of a glissando which DS does not have, but wiggling those just a little bit gave me a beautiful smooth gliss and more connectivity overall.

I've updated the mix,(same link) some changes are pretty subtle: a few longer release, x-fade adjustments, others question of taste I think but did the change, and some was quite helpful. Thanks Simon!

This is better! Thanks for posting, I love the sound here so much. Synchron has a very tense and uneasy sound to me which is wonderful for these kinds of cues.
