They all made use of a library that’s very long in the tooth by now?
I rarely use SSO because of things about it that won’t be fixed with a re-edit.

Hypotheticals? A commitment to support the existing product. I mean, it’s still available for sale for a princely sum.Would they have gone through the trouble of doing a big update on SSO Kontakt patches just a couple of weeks ago only to turn around and say the library is now in the new player...with improvements?
Yeah.. I was thinking about this. Could this announcement be something else ?Would they have gone through the trouble of doing a big update on SSO Kontakt patches just a couple of weeks ago only to turn around and say the library is now in the new player...with improvements?
You would do this, I think, if you were no longer planning to update the Kontakt version.I know what you are saying, and I thought the same when the updates were released. I was thinking that if they were going to reboot SSO, why would they bother. But perhaps the work done was easily translated to both platforms - so why not update ?
While not UACC KS, I've setup UACC in this set of Core patches.I still have much of the BML series versions on the drives. When the SF Player versions arrive, I'll likely archive those. One advantage of the Kontakt versions is the ability to use the UACC KS, which you can't do with the player. UACC KS makes the midi much more portable for trying things out.
That's a big possibility, and since they seem to be releasing most of their new libraries in their Player, they might just had the time to port the Symphonic Line to their in-house player, I wouldn't be surprised if they do this to their Chamber, and Solo Strings, and some of their other popular Kontakt libraries. But, the question still remains, if they were going to port them to their Player, why did they bother with updating the Kontakt versions ?You would do this, I think, if you were no longer planning to update the Kontakt version.
To cut off the dangling outstanding fixes for current Kontakt users.That's a big possibility, and since they seem to be releasing most of their new libraries in their Player, they might just had the time to port the Symphonic Line to their in-house player, I wouldn't be surprised if they do this to their Chamber, and Solo Strings, and some of their other popular Kontakt libraries.

Possibly, but it then becomes yet another product to support. I could however see new price points (at the least other mics will be available). Except they don't have a lot of terrain to work with with BBCSO Pro at $1000 and the new modular Abbey Road library at say maybe $3000. I could see some additional content added beyond the mics. The clarinets, oboes, and English horn in particular could really use some additional articulations to bring them more in line with the flutes, and additional legatos for various long articulations in the strings would also be most welcome.If we’re still assuming SSO, then it’ll be more than just “SSO in a new player.”
I think it’s bigger than that.
New price points, new market segmentation. Even new remixed products. The OG Kontakt version essentially becomes a different product at this point, thereby meriting updates?
The latest SF clue tweet had HTTYD 1, was that not done at AR like the later films?
Lyndhurst Hall - AIR Studios
The live area accommodates a full symphony orchestra and choir simultaneously, with an inspiring acoustic that musicians love.www.airstudios.com
HTTYD is listed on the AIR website? I guess that keeps things on track..
Yeah the first Dragon was done at AIR. The others were Abbey Road.
And in all fairness, if Paul is excited about it, then so am I.Whatever it is, Paul will be excited about it!
I am hoping for more AR libraries.
Is there anything Paul’s been unexcited about? “Yeah , so we’ve got a new thing for you today but really it’s lackluster and poorly programmed - not really worth getting out of bed over.”Seriously, I can't think of a single Spitfire library that I've been excited about that Paul hasn't.
