    Hi.

    Just playing around with this incredible new library. Truely beautiful, but came across a slight issue with some notes on this patch.

    If you play the F# below middle C (and the G as they're recorded in tones) there's a nasty distortion sound about 1 second into the sample on full velocity.

    Also on the Ab and A theres a popping sound about 2secs in. 

    The Bb and B Natural also have a popping sound a few seconds into the sample.

    I wondered if anyone else could try it out and see if it's just me or if those distortions and pops are actually recorded into the sample.

    Thanks

    Hi Marcus,

    if I get your notes correctly, I think the sounds you hear are actually players re-bowings. As you know at higher dynamics the player has to move the bow pretty quickly, so he needs to rebow, at a certain point, to keep sustaining the sound. 
    It actually happens on every samples of these patches. On the F# the "harshness" of the bowing is more pronounced, that's why I suppose you are referring to that sample in particular.

    I personally like it :) Hope it helps!

    I have definitely noticed the first one (G and F#), on high velocity. I will check the others tomorrow.

    It definitely isnt just a re-bowing, and even if it is, it needs to be fixed as it is far too loud and sounds horrible. Those notes are unplayable at high velocity in their current state.

    I have noticed a duff note on the violins as well (need to check tomorrow to see the exact note).

    Not heard a thing from them on this issue unfortunately.

    I'm hoping it'll be put right when the Performance articulations arrive.

    Performance articulations?  You mean when the 2nds, Viola, and Bass stuff arrives they'll fix this cello issue?

    Quite clearly I mean, whilst they are finishing off the performance articulations for the 2nd's, Viola's and Basses they might fix some of the other articulation issues with the Cellos and 1sts and send them as updates!!
