NI Symphony Series Strings (Audiobro's previous joint library with NI that also does divisi and auto-divisi) was also known for a bit colorless sound, and legato transition wasn't very pronounced (not much transition can be heard in full, a little more exposed in divisi section) but IMHO still sounded a lot better and swellful by default than what I hear so far with MSS.īut I'm not sure MSS legato transition samples themselves are bad. As for me, no amount of editing or massaging will help me like the core tone any better I hope I can get them to work in a track, otherwise my $549 will be down the drain. The only thing usable in MSS for me are the shorts. You know what's funny I A/Bd MSS against LASS and realized how realistic and clear LASS is so I'm going to try that pixelpoet Kontact hack to see if I can improve the legato LOL Yes I am super excited about the Sonokinetic library! Not sure when we can expect this, but I'm interested. * Spitfire Audio Abbey Road Modular Orchestral Strings. Synchron Chamber Strings, Synchron Solo Strings. * VSL : Maybe some new Synchron based string libraries, i.e. * CineSamples : CineStrings Pro, might surface sometime this year. * Updates to some of my current Strings libraries, that will further improve them. * Also looking forward to see OT-Berlin Strings, and its expansions in SINE format. ![]() * Sonokinetic Strings, they will also offer Divisi Strings (Due in April). The other Strings libraries I'm excited about are : Having said that, I'm still interested in what LASS 3 will offer, but it won't be out until the end of this year. I have decided to stay away from MSS, at least for now, and use my current collection of Strings libraries, and make music, instead of dealing with learning a new, costly, complex, and not so much rewarding library like MSS. I doubt it is a useless library, I'm guessing it's just not an easy library to get instant wonderful results from. I think it's a library that needs to be edited by each user to their taste, and might require more time massaging it. I'm reading mixed feedback about it, but mostly on the negative side. Hi totally get it that you are not happy with MSS. In addition to the legato wonkiness I'd describe the tone as dated and static. When you just spent $549 for a library you've been anticipating for years and it sounds like 2010 then you'll understand the negativity LOL. If you have the time to post more feedback about your experience with MSS, I'm sure it will help better evaluate it. I'm also excited about the upcoming Sonokinetic Strings which has Divisi as well. I'm going to cautiously wait, and observe the user feedback about it, and then decide if I need it, or not. ![]() I don't have a clue what to make of all the negativity towards it. Most of the posts I have encountered on VI-C have been negative, or critical of the Legato, or other details about MSS. It was very refreshing to read your post abut MSS here. With some tweaking and carefull playing (like any other library) you can get very lovely results. On VI I see a lot of fuzz about the legatos, but I never understood all the discussions about the legato (though I think they ment portamento). I don't understand why they have turned on 3(!) convo reverbs on the patches, but once you just select one from the many convo options (some really nice ones) or leave it off and run it through your own reverb setup, I find it beautiful and blending it now with CSB, CSW and some other things and that works lovely as well (though need a bit of work to make the room match, but that isn't any different then with using another library). It's warm, full and rich and far less "harsh" as LASS can be. It doesn't require the setup you had to do with LASS. They provided Expression Maps with the release and its a breeze that I don't have to set that up and can just work straight out of the box with it. I am using it straight away in for an album I was asked to do by one of my publishers and though I have some good string libraries (LASS, CSS, HS and HZS, though the latter is maybe a bit of an oddball in the list), what I love about MSS is the extreme flexibility you have and all those great options with recorded ostinatos, runs, divisi, detune (awesome!), intuition patches, aleatoric etc etc just at your fingertips.
