Can I suggest to reviewers that it would be much more useful to me (and maybe others) if when demonstrating any library, they take famous orchestral passages and try and recreate them?
Gosh, the beginning of the demo sounds really artificial. I don't know if everything has been quantised in terms of timing and volume /expression, but the playing sounds awfully 'mechanical'. Thankfully the examples after the demo show the tonal variety that this library is capable of.
The only unique thing in this library is having separate articulations for upbow & downbow. I would love to hear a demonstration of those articulations alternating in some meaningful way, just as a real orchestra would do. Otherwise, they probably sound worse than most string libraries, as every note being in the same bow direction can sound phony.
I wonder how many people out there will be able to afford to pay out big bucks anymore for these libraries? Everything seems to be moving to a subscription service (expect massive changes at Universal Audio if the way they've slashed their prices is anything to go by).

Agreed. Pretty sure that’s the writing / orchestration though, that is static in and of itself
If the price wasn’t discouraging enough, the disk space certainly is.
Which equates to more cost...
true, 6:07 561 gigs and it doesn't even have multiple legato round robins lmaooo

Beautiful!
That's crazy
