The glissando is a first take on something that can obviously be developed quite a bit! I think we will put some more examples as to how best take advantage of this feature. It isn't, for example, meant to be used as another type of legato interval for tuneful playing, like a portamento, or similar, but as a long gliss between notes it definitely serves it's purpose, for example in this track by Dorian Marko - https://soundcloud.com/dorianmarko/blac ... n-master-2
At around 0:46, you can hear I'd guess around seven layers of it on top of the clusters of brass and cellos, used to great effect. Instead of pre-set glissando builds, you can really get control over each one. Obviously this isn't the only way they can be used, we will be releasing more examples as things move along

Thanks ARIA Sounds, also for your openness to further development.
I will check out the clip when back home.

Best Regards

It's been a while. I wonder if it's been improved? There are some articulations in the(se) LSS-libraries, which I haven't seen anywhere else.
I was also wondering, is the Con Sordino simulated or real?

I also noticed the First Violins, along with the rest of the catalog are on sale:

I know I'm ahead for Black Friday, but that's 20£ for a potentially decent or even good sampled string section. Some mixed reviews, but positive ones. Some mention this is sonically close to VSL per dry and raw sound. I'm mostly looking for a smaller string section with sordino. Should I hold my horses and wait for Strezov's sale on Cornucopia?

Don't know about this dev.
Would recommend to steer clear.
Probably the worst support I ever encountered. No replies whatsoever. And I'm not alone.

You don't about them but have encountered their support? How does that work?

Okay, just kidding, I think I know what you meant.
I heard the eCommerce-service they use is bad, but good things about their (Aria) customer service.

Only have their grand piano. Yet sadly no support.
