Just a few things that seem less than ideal for me.
1. Vibrato Control: Using Taylor Davis violin as an example, I see no way to control vibrato start times or speed. I assume the Kontakt versions allows that? This is one of those things that people accustomed to Kontakt libraries may miss or notice.
2. Decay: Again, I don't see a way to control decay. The Spitfire strings for example have a "release" parameter that serves that purpose and is very handy. They can cut off as soon as note ends or play a longer tail if you turn it all the way up. I don't see anything like that in Musio. Will that be part of the upcoming extended control?
3. I like the UI a lot but (imo) it needs a minimal mode like Kontakt where it can shrink a bit more. Not everyone has high resolution monitors.
Lastly, an observation about threading (I think anyway). When Musio is playing here and another sound is loaded, it severly glitches the playback. I have to wait for the new sound to load to play the track. The Spitfire instruments don't do that. You can have a song playing and drop in a new instance / instrument and it doesn't affect the playback of the others while it loads it's samples. Not sure if this related to threading or something else.
