Clay.
All 100 voices seem to have the extra 2 notes. If there is any pitch shifting going on it's been well implemented. Markus did say that some had the extra notes recorded but never used till now. But I would guess some but not all.
Interesting that m300 strings A and B are available as 2 separate voices, lower register and higher, so you get everything!

Thanks for posting the pics Andy. Do all 100 voices have the low F and F# ? Do some of them sound pitch shifted? I wouldn't think that he would have recordings of those notes for all 100 voices.

The two additional notes may not seem like a big deal, but when you need them, you need them. Sometimes the middle F just will not do it!

They were only 12bit ...don't know if they ever went to 16, but they sounded great...it's all about the oversampling filters.
