Thanks for the warning about the demo mode... If I get another Kontakt library, I'll be sure to get something that supports the free player.

There's actually a cut-down demo version of 1st violins from Concert Strings 2 that gives a pretty good idea what that library sounds like. It's limited to an octave starting at middle C. And yes, the demo timeout is irritating.

The Pop/Rock Strings is basically a "light" version of the Concert Strings II, with samples at every other note instead of every note. Given that the Fairlight used a single sample, I'm not in a position to complain, hrm? (Interestingly enough, the Fairlight's recently been revived in a number of different forms... But that's another off-topic thread).

Does anyone else have any experience with any of these libraries?

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
