    I can't understand why, in a certain file only, so far, the violin solo legato suddenly decides at the opening of the piece, to start sliding around. I realize the legatos have transitions but why do they come out so pronounced (if that is what it is) that it sounds like portamenti instead of transitions. In an earlier version (VSL) this doesn't happen and it doesn't happen after the opening. And I don't think it has to do with "phasing".

    I am not using either portamento articulations or pitch bend except in one place and I've looked at the various windows as well in the VS windows of the violin. True, it's not as pronounced as in an actual portamento articulation but it's pronounced enough for me.

    Hi Ed

    Can you post a sound example, please?

    Hi Beat,

    Sorry, I overlooked your reply as I don't think I got an email notification.

    I think I've found the culprit! It was in the map control section, where I allowed the normally straight pitch wheel line to twist by moving the little circle. Apparently it affects the whole sample and not only where the pitch bends occur, in which case the result is even more bizarre!

    Thanks, Ed
