My personal recommendation is Chris Hein's Solo Violin (and/or the whole strings bundle):

mcbpete - thanks

Listened to the CH demos, which were impressive.

The 259 euros is a tough nut to swallow though.

Not that it's probably not worth it.

I use Kirk Hunter Solo Violin which has nice fast attacks, and only cost around $100 or so.

But I'm too used to it, and need to hear something different.

Nigel Kennedy on a violin would be nice

Clearly a Stradivary, but the price tag might be a problem though its worth it and doesn't loose if you sell it again, quite the contrary...

Tha Paganini sounds amazing. All the notes in the high speed dem seemed clear.

Bags of layers, and a HF rolloff for each string.

No round robin for ostinatos, but all the same the dem sounded good.

cheers = kevvvvv

If you're having an issue with no round robins, you could always adjust velocity to ensure that a different sample is played every time a note is repeated.
