Tokyo Scoring Strings: Patch 1.0.7 available (fixed short notes)

NI did just send us a feedback report with some small approval blockers (things like negative values displaying as “0.-2 instead of -0.2” for a control or the keyrange having one extra note than it’s supposed to) and the issues have been fixed, so we’re sending back a new build for final approval. If it’s not clear, these issues were quite easy to fix, and if they were the only ones in the way, we’re basically set.

Sarah is on track to finish her new legato profiles pretty soon.

The date will be posted whenever Andrew feels it’s ready to post. But if you want my off-the-cuff answer, it’s probably no later than December 8th (but likely earlier).

Such good news!
 
For clarity: We decided to leave preorders open leading up to release date, just with regular intro pricing ($399) as opposed to the 'early bird' pricing ($349) that many here enjoyed.

As soon as we hear back from NI again I'll have enough confidence to post the specific release date.

Otherwise, we've added a number of demos to the player, and as soon as Sarah finishes her legato pass (aided by Nabeel's excellent feature and bugfix work) we'll be re-rendering some existing works (including the Sonic Overview video) and new videos will go underway too.
 
I don't think people are quite fully prepared for how much better she has gotten the legatos to sound. With these in place, I'm ready to start drafting the script for and then recording the Lookahead tutorial (I may have been greedily delaying my work on it until the new legato update).

After Adachi, I'm not surprised to hear you say that, but oh Lord am I ready to hear it in action!!

Exactly why I was so excited, and happy she joined your team.

Yes, her Legato work on the ADACHI version of 8dio's strings speaks for itself as to how much her work improved these old libraries.

Now with TSS, I'm expecting nothing short of seeing my Jaw drop to the floor, once I hear some of the new TSS legatos in demos. I know you will end up having one of the best sounding string libraries on the market, not just the legatos, but everything else it offers. :thumbsup:

In the future, we could possibly mix down a separate "Spot" position to get the individual ensemble mono mic positions from the sessions. It'll take some experimenting, and perhaps be a separate NKI.

Will ISW upgrade Bravura Scoring Brass in the future? For example, adding NKS and Console.
 
Exciting news for our 1.1 update; we began experimenting with a new method of creating much more authentic runs, with all the minor inconsistencies, wavers and blurs that give live runs such a huge edge over sampled attempts.

After 1.0 is launched, we'll be happy to keep updating the thread with progress, and we'll show some teasers of the new Runs sound. Please look forward to it!

@muziksculp will now add you to his spreadsheet of updates to chase you on at a regular basis and the library isn't even out yet. :roflmao:
 
On a more serious note, is there any consideration of building in a button for the "transposition trick" should we want to have the effect of doubling the ensemble size for a future update?

Oh gosh, the library isn't even out and I'm already looking forward to the update :emoji_joy:

I would say such a feature kinda goes against the mission of the library (which showcases the specific size and dimension of Muroya strings in Sound City), but it isn’t impossible to script. We already have an optional neighbor RR for arcos (which imo, doesn’t sound very good by itself) so we could reuse the note borrow code from that. We’ll consider it in the future. It certainly would be an easy way to turn TSS into a “Hollywood” sound, making the library even more versatile.

So which accompanying libraries will you guys here use for the rest of the orchestra and other instruments, until the Tokyo series is completed? :D

Which Brass Library to pair with Tokyo Scoring Strings?

Hey guys! I know TSS isn't released yet, but the Japanese sound has been around for a while and judging by the demos, it really does capture that sound. I'm getting this library as soon as pre-orders become available and it will be my first string library. After some (too much) time spent...
