Does the forthcoming solo strings library include all new samples or is is it mainly additional articulations for the free legato violin and cello libraries?

The free ones were earlier test recordings, from the alpha stage of the project. So in typical Jasper Blunk fashion I fully expect these to be entirely new recordings. However, in terms of what to expect with regard to an overall aesthetic, room sound, etc. the free instruments are likely a good proxy.

Articulations, according to the website:
“Content (not yet finalized): legato, motion tremolos, spiccatos, staccatos, pizzicatos, marcatos, and harmonics”

Interesting the solos have staccato! I wonder if the shorts behave differently than in the ensemble version
100% new recordings.
Also, just a note that the cello has slur legato and the violin has slur, bowchange, and port.

Thanks for these replies. This makes me very excited to get my hands on these new instruments.

I just hope the sound can be as dry as possible for that kind of flexibility. At the moment, everything seems rather roomy. I actually like PS' Solo Violin Legato freebie patch. That kind of drier tone and it has that nice raw sound (not as thin sounding as most solo violin libraries out in the market) and great legato too.
Well, the Pacific room is a fairly large space (though also quite controlled) and that's kind of the point of that space. I happen to adore it, personally, as it envelopes the instruments but doesn't drench them either. That said, Jasper mentioned that the Pacific solo strings will have close mics AND section mics along with the more distant room mics.
Worth mentioning that this solo violin freebie was actually recorded in a fairly ambient (though different) room but Jasper used the close mic for that library.
