I swear they didn't pay me, but I believe it is worth letting you know about this product which I find wonderful. A work of sound engineering that is, to say the least, incredible.
I think I will have to buy it very soon...
In this demo they used previously created tabs (in this case, the tabs are translated into MIDI to make the plugin play).
Listen to this stuff! I don't think I have ever heard such a realistic VST. I don't think I would be able to distinguish it from an acoustic instrument recording.
As I was saying elsewhere regarding demos, the problem is caused by the fact that some companies entrust their creation to very talented artists who produce masterpieces. The best thing is to look for demos where individual sounds can be heard.
It is obvious that they commission demos to those who know how to bring out the best in them, but this product simply sounds like this; it's not a matter of the demo. I leave you with this other video, where it is clearly seen that the sound is completely dry. No additional plugins except for those built into the VST.
Then I'll listen to it and tell you what I think. I don't agree with you regarding the discussion about demos, because to give a significant example, VSL has demos that are not exactly excellent, just like East West. Often they do not process the sound, and they rely on MIDI track playback for the pieces they propose; for this reason, it is better (when possible) to listen to the individual sounds. If it had been up to the demos, on the contrary, I wouldn't have bought some things at all.

It depends. Those that do not process the sound are usually the most serious ones because they want you to hear the product as it sounds DRY. And I assure you that if a library sounds good dry, you can pull monsters out of it. Certainly, however, it must also be said that some create videos using the dry sound which, looking at it, seems dry, but how do we know where this sound goes? Analog outboard gear? Booooh. And there, the sound gets quite colored with a few buttons pushed.
Regarding the two libraries you posted, I must admit that I didn't know them, neither of them. Not bad...
Yes, I know that Simò, also because using hardware instruments is the same; if you have a proper sound, effected (if necessary), it acquires even more potential. Regarding demos, sometimes I find the lack of care in dynamics questionable; many demos (but also pieces by users who use these libraries) from East West fail in this regard. I am speaking specifically about the controllers: attack, decay, release, sustain, to simplify reading the parameters of a sound's amplification. In practice, you can hear that in certain pieces the sound is used exactly as it is, without working on the aforementioned parameters or others as well.
