        I have their mandolin and they do tremolo right. It sounds a little course (as if they used too much edge of the pick) and it’s range doesn’t quite go high enough for me (I use Melodyne to fix that) but for tremolo, it’s not locked to DAW tempo and velocity is set by CC allowing for smooth swells. Works great. Now I get to try their other 2 hoard instruments.

          Thanks for sharing your insights, @fretman; that’s very valuable information to anyone looking at these libraries and comparing them with the other mandolin sample libraries on the market.

          It doesn’t apply to you, since you have one of the instruments in the bundle, but it just occurred to me that Best Service distributes Musical Sampling libraries and I checked and, sure enough, they have a better deal on this bundle. With their coupon code, the bundle goes for $15 less + Best Coin can be used to further lower the price + any purchases of $99 or more let you select a free plugin. So, it’s a much better deal than the $15 lower than the original price. I updated the original post with all of that info.

            Thanks, I looked last night and it wasn’t at Best Service yet. But I see it is now! The individual instruments are also on sale for $79 each, so I’m  good to go! Thanks!

              Happy to be of help!

              Here’s the link for all of Musical Sampling sample libraries (they’re all for Kontakt and require the full version; this is the affiliate link that helps with the operational costs of running LinkedMusicians):

                I can’t figure out how to Instant Best Coin. As best I can tell, that feature has expired. Is that right?

                  I just tried it, and you’re right. Poof, Instant Best Coin is no more. That’s strange, they promoted the feature and pulled it out without notice. I’ll update the post.
