Yeah, the samples sound great on their own, obviously much better recording quality than I could have done for VSCO 2 CE, but the lacking sample density and RR is extremely audible in their demos. It barely even counts as a sketching library given the limits... even something like EWQL SO Gold or Silver seem so much more sane as commercial alternatives, despite being over 15 years old. :/
I'm inclined to agree, though I will wait until I have access to the library before passing final judgment. It's kind of baffling that anyone would release an orchestral sample library in 2020 that doesn't have at least two dynamic layers and 2x RR, and ask 50 bucks for it to boot. If it were a completely free, no strings attached type of thing I wouldn't complain but... seriously? There are 20+ year old libraries like Miroslav and Advanced Orchestra that have more detail than this. And, of course, free libraries like VSCO 2 CE. One would think they could at least have added some lp filters to simulate dynamics, and maybe some randomization to attack times to fake RR's, but nope. I guess their sample player doesn't support anything like that.
Once again when a big developer decides to move into the "beginner" market I find myself asking, how hard can it be to get this right? Are they really that clueless or are these limitations calculated in order to force people to move to a higher product tier?
