I own every other VSL string libraries. I love all of them, especially Dimension Strings.
This one is the only one I frankly do not like. The main reasons:
- Lack of basic articulations such as a real portamento
- Cheap/fake articulations (fp/sfz)
- Lack of expressiveness in high velocities
- No divisi like in LASS.
- No real innovation.
- => Bad value for money!
And so much wait for so few…
I also feel that VSL do not care about customer feedback. They never « pamper » their customers. Plus, if you lose or break the painful dongle, you are totally f..cked.
My level of satisfaction so far : 2 / 10 (for the flautandos and some shorts).
