    There's only so much the Perf Tool release times can do without actually getting your hands dirty in the Giga Editor......have fun!

    where in giga editor do you increase release times? I can't find that thread you were talking about.

    here is the thread andy is referring to and here some additional notes, at least i hope it is

    and remember: only a CRAY can run an endless loop in just three seconds.

    I wholeheartedly SUPPORT following the instructions in the editor to tie the release times with CC. This makes all the difference. I am a GS editor idiot and I could follow the instructions given [:D]

    Good luck to you.

    Just followed Herb's instructions and it works great. Solves the problems I was having very well. It's a joy to play the violins now!

    Thanks so much!

    I have had some problems with the legatos in the Pro Edition Strings using the P Tool, they still sound problematic and very un-legato like at times.

    Tom,
    Make certain the velocities of the legato note groups are the same or within the same range so they play the same legato sample. When, for example, you go from a softer to a louder velocity layer in the same legato group, it sounds abrupt.

    there is only one velocity layer in legato patches.....

    This is what all those dynamics-samples in the Library are meant to be used for.

    My music too sounds a million times better now that I have the Cube. Yes thanks indeed for the meticulous work! [:D]

    My main complaints are the inconsistencies with the duration of the dynamics
    (I did post to inquire about this but never got a reply from the VSL team as to why http://community.vsl.co.at/viewtopic.php?t=2824&highlight=dynamics">http://community.vsl.co.at/viewtopic.php?t=2824&highlight=dynamics) and the lack of a "pedal feature" for the harp.

    Opps! When I was writing this I was thinking about maintaining velocity for non-legato samples in order to get better legato not legato samples. Thanks for pointing that out.

    On these same lines though, is VSL planning on supplying/selling .art files for GS 3.0 users that combine dynamic legato samples into one .gsp so we can have velocity layered legato?

    Yes, unfortunately a lot of users think dynamic legato/stac repetition samples can only be used in a "repetition mode" , but that's false, herb described the technique here [:)]
