First of all: Congrats on the release! These are sounds that I definitely haven't heard before and this instrument opens up a completely new sonic landscape that I hadn't had access to before. So on the slight chance that you need some cashflow prior to the releases of the other solo instruments of this series (which I strongly hope you will do), sign me up - I'll gladly pay for them in advance.
Second: I think I found a very small bug (or annoyance). The sliders for Dynamics and Expression in the GUI are fully up even before CC1/CC11 have reached 127 (I think it peaks in the GUI around 105 or so.

PS: The swells are gorgeous! I hope I am not asking for too much, but any chance that in a post-release update, you could also offer the option to sync them to a number of beats based on the DAW's tempo?
EDIT: Just saw that I literally asked for exactly this in a previous comment before the release. And @thesteelydane gave a good answer. The tempo-slider together with the different recorded lengths works just fine I guess.

There is some control in the TMP Swells, which allows stretching between 25% slower and 32% faster, though it becomes quite obvious when you get beyond 15% either way for the 1 and 2 second swells and about 10% for the 3 and 4 second swells. Combined with judicious CC1, it feels like enough to add some worthwhile flexibility.

Congratulations! Unfortunately I will be repeating what others before me have so elegantly stated, Beautiful- Yes! Delicate- Yes! Fragile- Yes! but not in any way you could call thin or weak. Great set of articulations. Overall an excellent day for the viola!!!

Something often overlooked but really appreciated: regional egress points for optimal download speed. Thank you @thesteelydane

Hey Nikolaj,
I finally got to download and have a play with this library. Wow! It has sounds that immediately make you start playing, coming up with new ideas in new directions. I know already this is going to be so special for me and I can't wait to develop even the stuff it has already made me create, let alone the stuff yet to happen.
(don't know if any of that is usable but feel free to quote me. Credit would be 'elucid')

Sorry if this was stated earlier. What will the intro (not pre-order) price be?

I had a chance to pull up the instrument earlier tonight, and am quite enjoying the articulations, and the very close and textured sounds! I am used to many Kontakt libraries allowing multiple articulations to be selected at the same time by "SELECT + CLICKING" them. That, however, doesn't appear to be supported in your UI. I'd love to layer some of these all in one Kontakt instance. Yes, I can definitely open up others, or layer them with Unify. Otherwise, I'm loving what I'm hearing! Congrats on the release @thesteelydane. The GUI is really clean, and beautiful, too!

I’ll see if I can add that in an update. I imagine that some sort of per articulation volume trim function would also be useful in that case, so I’ll have to think about how that can be incorporated into the GUI in an elegant way.

Most libraries do not offer the volume trim function. I think it's a more convenient way of testing articulation layering. If the volume is needed, we can add another instrument in the same Kontakt instance.

Sorry no, they work on an “allow group” basis inside the “on note” event, as most Kontakt libraries do. Voices must be active (in other words playing, whether you can hear them or not) in order to be muted or soloed in the way you describe, so that would be unnecessarily CPU intensive for the vast majority of use cases. But you can automate the sliders to jump around if you wish, just right click and assign to a MIDI CC.
But I’m noting your requests along with all other wishes. Can’t promise anything though.

Yes, there was a problem so I had to change the link. The download instructions in your original purchase have been updated with the new link, so just download the PDF again and it should work. Please let me know if you have any problems!The 100% auto-discount on gumroad seems not to work right now or anymore:

I am sorry, I don't understand what you mean (same problem as @Sunny Schramm). The only PDF I can find to download is the one that confirmed my pre-order.
