Studio Instrument Strings: Comments and a Question

Original Post Deleted During Edit - this really needs to stop.
 
Re: Studio Instruments Strings, I am very impressed with the sound. But having only part of the range of the three instruments available is very limiting. for example, the violins only play from the C above Middle C on up. Below that C, the cellos kick in. A similar situation with the cellos not having the lower part of their range, which is taken over by the basses. There are no violas, but I can live without them, I have other options. But the violins and cellos are absolutely gorgeous, better in fact than any I have. But only part of their range is available. So unfortunate. I realize they are meant to cover songs primarily, and not as dedicated string groups for classical music. But they are so good!
 
This is probably futile, but I wonder if there is any way to get those missing notes somehow? Perhaps some adjustment on the synth? although I didn't see any way to do that. If not, I hope whoever makes this synth can keep in mind for a future release to give us the full palette. Good strings are really hard to come by, and these are simply amazing.

Studio Instruments is a collection of sfz engine synths like Dimension Pro (one you may already be familiar with). While it is not possible to add programs, the sfz files used by the existing programs may be altered. Sfz files are plain text files that may be opened in any text editor.

Not as much as BL giving back some of their tip jar but yeah, there is quite a bit that can be done to mess with the SI synths. One thing I have not looked at is copying the file sfz files and samples into RPro or DPro. I have done that with CSC files.

Possibly or they may suggest Rapture Pro, the successor to DPro. There are quite a few libraries already available for it. Many of the libraries run in DPro too. DSF made a lot of expansion packs. They have sales often.

Actually, now that I think of it, I could have Rapture Pro from 8.5 Producer. I never installed it. Maybe I could add some xpnsn packs to that?
 

It would only be Rapture Michael, Rapture Pro was a separate purchase which kind of replaced Dim Pro and Rapture.

Ah yes, I just found that out, Wookie, via the link someone posted on the List Of Instruments. So what I have is Rapture LE. But it looks like I can get xpnsn packs from DSF and add them to Dim Pro.
 
Good tip scook, I'll see if I can do some digging.
 
I know I can spend big bucks for a dedicated library. In fact, I already have one, and it's not enough. And that one is easy to use; some of the others are extremely complex and CPU intensive. I'm always on the lookout for decent strings to add to my arsenal. I find that no single string set works for all situations. You need to mix and match. At least I do.

Absolutely true, Bitflipper. However, I am one of those people who need the full range of the instrument. While cellos do sound incredible in that range, they also stand out too much in a 4-5 string group texture, where low violins blend in better.
 
Incidentally, I'm sure you meant that the lowest note on a violin is the G below middle C, right? It does get confusing as to which C is being referred to. I myself never bother with the "correct" name, preferring to refer the notes to a the nearest clef.
