Hi,
I've been buying Vienna Symphonic Library products for years now, it's my favourite company, please don't think I'm slamming them. So when I say I believe this is their core software (VI, that is, perhaps not even VIP), I don't mean to sound like a pathetic gamer who feels mistreated for my favourite product not being updated as much as I unreasonably feel it should. Instead, I would argue, VI ought to more prioritised than anything else, because without it, we can't play the samples, and in the end, we buy VIP, VEP, VS, MIR, and so on, to get more out of these samples. I'm sure a lot of people use VS and MIR for more than just VI and the samples, but the greatest attraction is surely how nicely it builds on top of the samples (triggered in VI), as is recognised by the company, evidenced by the collection of specialised presets.
Anyway, I'm not here to argue, and as someone who's dabbled in programming quite a bit I understand it is easier to build scaling from the ground up than rewrite the old code, and actually pretty boring to work on getting old stuff to still work in a new age! I would, however, like to hear someone from the company saying this is in the pipeline, that they're still developing these products, because it's been quite quiet for a while now (last update in February, wasn't it?), while the first request down below was from a year and a half ago.
Best,
MS
Regards, MS.
It was not my intent to make you feel like a pathetic gamer, though in rereading my post I can see how it might be taken that way. Nor was it my intent to argue. My only intent was to lend some perspective to what I concur is a legitimate hope for scaling in all VSL core software.
Like you, I anxiously await any word on VI Pro 3. From my experience, perhaps yours as well, VSL releases new versions of its core software on fairly short notice, informing us of what's included only at that point.
If I am correct in surmising that a new version of VI Pro will come no sooner than next year, then we're still at least several months away from any news. Hope I'm wrong, though.
