VSL Synchron Elite Strings?

With MIR Pro 3D just around the corner I would have liked to see something dry. But this still looks and sounds very nice.

How do you know MIR Pro 3D is around the corner? ;)
I remember Dietz mentioning somewhere that it is in the making but might take much longer due to the pandemic situation ...

I already own Dimension Strings (I and III) and am also a fan of the flexibility dry libraries offer in combination with MIR. But I am still quite interested in Elite Stings I must say. They might even be a nice addition. And they can actually sound quite dry as this video shows:

 
If I'm not doing any Surround work, would the Synchron Elite Strings standard library be good enough, or would it still be beneficial to get the full version ?

I know I can get the Standard first, then upgrade to the Full version, but I would like to hear some feedback before I purchase anything. (Thanks)

I think it's just having more options. But especially (and that's new) in the case of Elite Strings you have leader and mid "ribbon" mono mics in the full version, which sounds interesting. Want to hear those.

Yes, I know they have these, that's why a detailed walkthrough of Elite Strings showing how these mics sound would be very helpful.

I'm hoping there will be a detailed walkthrough video of Elite Strings soon.
 
Late to the party.. Wow, 10 pages in 1 day?

So whats the verdict so far? From all I could hear so far I’m not a fan of the violins - mostly sound a bit sterile/thin .. again..
Getting an updated chamber sized library might be a good thing though 😋 .. not sure

Nobody really knows yet. The "corner" is already visible, but still partially hidden in the fog of future. 8-)

Well – thats still very good news! Thanks for the update!
"Hidden in the Fog of Future" ... I'm sure thats the next Guy Bacos piece (Screencast coming soon) ... ;)

I like the accented slurs on the penultimate page. Actually I like all the slurs on that page! Very nice.
 
It’s totally worth it to get the full library with extra mics, the signature presets come with full library are the best thing for Elite Strings. My personal favorite signature preset are “Consiliant” and “intimate”. Those presets really show the prestige detail of the quality of sound for each articulation, very clean, full and emotional, and it glued nicely with any other string libraries.

I’m still exploring this library, it’s a pretty deep library when comes to legato. Now I’m making my own presets to match my workflow with Synchron Strings Pro.
 
@holywilly hey I got a question—where are you going to put the new detache stuff? I have separate legato and short note trees in my custom SSP presets... and am unsure of the best place.
