You bet :( I had to get it though, I would never have been happy until I got it under my fingers (I am a LASS fanboy so I expected something amazing. I A/Bd it against all my libraries, no comparison. It sounded dull and dated to me. No realism. The legato out of the box, as wonky as it is, was the least of their problems.Wow, that's a lot of money to delete. I admit I wasn't initially crazy about the sound, but some people were starting to get some nice sounds out of it. It did seem like it needed a bit of work to get it to your happy place.
Muzik, maybe you should create a thread of conjecture about what went wrong with MSS lol! My composer buddies and I have theorized that after years of piddling around with it, Audiobro realized it wasn't quite up to snuff tone-wise with current libraries. So they started "adding features" (remember when it was supposed to be released in December, then kept getting pushed off?) This would explain the bizarre 3 convo reverbs preloaded - maybe trying to hide the tone?
Once I finally figured out how to turn everything off (even the built-in EQ was on and muffling it!) I found its core tone sounded quite similar to LASS, just a bit warmer but less clear.
Also, oddly, the shorts had reverb tails but not the sustains. Seemed like one of the cello shorts was bone dry. Weird inconsistencies.
We also wonder if it truly was going to be LASS 3 but somebody got a hairbrained idea to beef it up with all these "features" and it morphed into MSS. After A/Bing MSS with LASS I'm actually really looking forward to LASS 3.
Ahhhh... I feel so much better getting this off my chest lol! Seriously, I was bummed. Had dragged my feet on projects expecting this to be the next-gen library. I think I've learned my lesson, but I do have a *little* hope for Sonokinetic
