Does this mean that Artifastring is already able to simulate violing sounds so perfectly that everything is a matter of "teaching" it how to do so? I don't have much experience with violin, but judging by the audio samples i thought that it could use some improvement (independently of Vivi's playing skill improvement). Regardless of this issue, i like Vivi's articulation. It doesn't sound soulless as midi does. Perhaps i'm underappreciating your work - sorry for that... I suppose it's because i didn't learn bowed instruments myself.
