Steinberg HALion String Edition

this is a great value for the price, the sounds are excellent, and 24 bit to boot!

there are many different articulations available, although getting to all of these articulations has been somewhat of a challenge for me :(

really, this is the main thing for a good string sample library, playability. In my opinion, as of now, this doesnt quite have it yet. perhaps it is my host, perhaps it is my lack of experience with keyswitching or sample libraries...

however, it would be easier if it was dead simple.

despite all of this, I will try to learn, for the sounds and articulations are more than worth it.

this program needs alot more work for playability.


edit:

o yeah, stability... I have NEVER had a problem with streaming or crashing so far, with Fruityloops 3.5.6
