    Hello! Could you please write out these names of Vienna files: SO, HA, HS, SUL, RC, RS, PONT? I understand these ones: sus, rel, gliss, trem (sustain, release, glissandi, tremolo), but as to mentioned above i need your help.

    Hi there.

    SO - soft

    HA - hard (or Harp 1, depending on context)

    SUL - on the same string

    RS - release

    PON(T) - sul ponticello (on the bridge)

    I don't recognise HS and RC but if you tell me where you saw them I can probably identify them.

    thanks so much! but what means "SUL - on the same string" and "sul ponticello (on the bridge)"? sorry i didn't undestand it. HS and RC i saw in GLASS HARMONICA.

    The strings 'performance legatos' are based on real played intervals. You can choose between regular (perf-legato) intervals played by moving from one string to another, or intervals played on the same string (perf-legato-sul). 'Sul ponticello' is a strings bowing technique in which the player bows the string very close to the instrument's bridge, producing a thinner sound. It's often used in conjunction with tremolando.

    I checked Glass Harmonica but couldn't see those names, could you tell me where you're seeing them?

    thank you, now it's clear about that! as to glass harmonica i got these titled kontakt files (.nki), when converted .gig's to nki's through CdXtract. thus, now i have got such files as GLHA_all.nki, GLHA_port+RC.nki, GLHA_sus+RS.nki and so on in my 01 GLASS_HARMONICA folder.

    You can download for all products a pdf manual in the User Area.

    Each manual has a  "Abbreviations" chapter  where all used abbrevations should be listed.

    HS refers to half-tone trills, although i assume the H & S stand for Half Step
