Hello mvanbebber!
The thread on your link was a little bit strange [[:|]] I agree with you: users can express their frustration: this is their liberty. And we can be angry about a patch: perf leg f is one of the most interesting, and don't work like a real sax (we've got ears)!!! The thread has been moderate, so I don't read extrems words, but insults are a pity, of course. [8o|] is an icon, just a way for funny expression on the web. So Keep cool [:D] I understand of course that VSL has got a lot of work. But update imperfect patchs is a priority, I think, rather than create new products. For buyers satisfaction of course, and their fidelity [[[;)]]] I played soprano sax during six years, and always play tenor: when this horn is played at up tempo-legato, they are no portamento effects!!!... of course. So I don't understand VSL. The interest of perf leg f is to play at any tempo. Looped patch is perfect for low tempos and very long notes, but not fluid at up tempo. Here is the interest of a perf leg I think. I sold my yanagisawa soprano few years ago, because of money problems, and Sax 1 was a solution for me to play sop with WX5 controller. So it's a frustration, because a saxist, and others, always search the impressions of a real saxophone playing. Legato is the hardest to reproduce on sampled intruments. Performance tool is revolutionnary, so deception is big for the sop.
But saxophones vol 1 is wonderful, and is the best of the world for me. So I hope you, Paul and others, consider seriously in the future our remarks.
Expression of Frustration is a human reaction...and I don't want to be a robot!!! [[[;)]]]
Best, Jean
