Wow, the demos sound amazing! Is this the best cello so far? Imagine if the demos sound great on Soundcloud, how great this library would sound on our end, lol.

When I watched the video first 20 secs,  I was with my headphones on (the Sennheiser 599), and I was this sounds so great but... is my interface working correctly?
Felt the sound was actually coming from the room, it was a weird experience, then I took the headphones off, yeah, it is working just fine.
All this while the sound never felt drenched in Reverb or something. Flabbergasted!

That's often a bad idea since I don't have most of the members budget.   These are the same people who think it's ok to pay $50 for loops.

Picked this one up (plus the violin)

initial thoughts....

Sound is good but the GUI/instrument control is very very basic.  It's the same GUI as the freebie felt piano

No Legato

No Portamento

the improvs are good (interesting)  but the basic sound less so.

No way to change articulations via the GUI - has to be a midi note (which isn't great on smaller keyboards)

Volume matching between articulations is a bit out of whack - especially the improvs

Vibrato is not totally convincing and is very limited in range

will keep playing with it .....

-----

quick edit - not saying it's bad though - but it's not a replacement for emotional cello or the embertone one (or the spitfire solo strings..which I don't actually like) - and got to bear the price in mind :)
