Hi Rob!
As you are always starting with a new starting note for every legato passage, the Legato Threshold shows the time that can pass before playing the next legato note in your passage. The higher you set it, the less you have to play "real" legato on you keyboard (so there may be gaps between your notes, you will still hear legato including the transition sound).
Once the set time has passed, you wil be automatically provided with a new starting note (no transition).
The Release Time delays the Note-off event of your last played note. This way it covers possible gaps between your note and makes sure, that the blending between the notes works perfectly fine.
Basic Rule: These two sliders should have roughly the same settings. You can experiment with them and adjust them to your playing style.
Best wishes, Paul
Paul, I'm new to VSL and am confused by this whole "Starting Note" thing. If I play an arpeggiated C Major chord on violins......C E G C G E C.....and wish to have this "legato".....why is the first "C".....considered a "starting note" and somehow different? They are all tied together equally if I'm truly playing this legato. Confused....thanks for any help...
