Is it possible to get kinda non-vib like sound out of the solo strings by using the normal edition not the extendet ?? greetings

Even if the SE-Library contains quite a lot of samples it only comes with a few for each instrument (no "sus without vib") Perhaps you can get a sound with less or no vibrato when you route the signal through a pitch tuner (melodyne etc.). If work with Cubase 6 you have a VST-pitch tuner effect which you could install within the instrument track. But I didn't ever checked this solution... could be that it will work better than we think... don't know. Best Beat Kaufmann

What I’d like to know is why there’s vibrato on open strings…

Because nobody wants to hear every single d4 on a violin for example played as an open string. Violists will play it often on the g string for a warmer sound and this way you can make the vibrato.
My solution is simple :) Vsl should record the 17 open strings in total (don't forget the low b on a double bass :) ) and let the user choose them or not with the AB switch.
I would really love to hear the open strings in double triple and quadruple stops...
they did record the open string pitches a string below. For the low g on a violin, they tuned the violin to fis and played a g with vibrato or without for the nonvib patches, the actual open string was never recorded. It's the sympathetic resonance of the open strings that gives the solo strings their solo-characteristic-sound :)

Yes, but we want to hear the G3 played as an open string, because that's the only way possible. Yet it has vibrato.

A couple comments (as a strings player): First, in many cases (particularly when playing legato), a strings player will not play an open string precisely because it will not have vibrato, but will play the note in position on a lower string. When all things are considered, it is better that those notes have vibrato than not (the lowest open string would be an exception). Second, although I do not recall exactly off the top of my head, check the natural harmonics sustain patches in the extended solo strings library. IIRC, the first note of the harmonic series included for each string is the open string, and that the notes are played non-vibrato. Because of how the natural harmonics patches are set up using them will require some arrangement adjustments. Rather than being at pitch, notes are arranged by string, by their partial order: open string; octave; octave + fifth; etc. That is the only way to do it, as certain partial notes exist on more than one string, and will sound different depending upon which string is used to play them. That VSL included the different options is a good thing. Again, IIRC all partials are included through the three octave partial (including the naturally out-of-tune dominant 7th partial).

Yes Bill that's true, the lowest note should have been always the open string sound.

I am going to try V-Vocal in Sonar (like Melodyne) to remove vibrato. That is a creative solution. I use it to remove vibrato on vocals quite often.

.. was the idea that the open strings are in the harmonics samples confirmed? I'm writing a piece that requires a lot of open strings including the mid and upper stings.
Cheers,

Cheers,
Rangi. I can confirm it. It's with two velocities. You also have the Natural Harmonic Repetition patch with one velocity layer! But as said, they are not places on the keyboard at their pitch position.
