If anyone has it I'd be interested in opinions. It's doing some interesting things, but ultimately I wasn't won over from the walkthrough.

Yes... on the one hand its always good to see a library that is trying something new, but on the other I'm not sure results are terribly successful really. I see on VI-C there's a lot of talk of ultra-high CPU, and something that did bother me in the walkthrough was releases - there don't seem to be any, its just ADSR, which in the real world is likely to be the kiss of death to realism here.

From the demos and walkthrough, this seems like the point where the marketing outshines the product. Not sold. Great idea but I can’t imagine that this isn’t a glorified phrase library.

£249 eeh, for that?...No!

Price is currently $229 US so that is much less than 249 GBP!?

Yes, it’s £199 for the next week, the rest of the difference is VAT.

I have it and it can do some really great things and sound very natural doing them. The release sample issue for textural stuff should not be a big issue. The Cpu thing is working ok here on a powerful Mac but it does tweak my meters which could be concerning in a project with a lot of things going on.
So far I give the library a big but somewhat guarded thumbs up.
