    I bought VSL a couple of years back and I've had it sitting on my HD doing not much so I decided to try and learn how to use it. But I'm being stumped by something incredibly simple, and I can't download all the tutorial videos because I'm on a lousy connection. I'm trying to do a cello line and whatever I do I can't remove the goddamn vibrato. 3A (VC sustain) and 3B (VC tremolo) sound exactly the same. What should I be doing?

    Use a non vibrato patch instead of the sustain one. Tremolo doesn't have any vibrato anyway.

    Hello Ccrash,

    I checked your account, and you have registered our entry level Special Edition Volume 1.

    With this collection, all articulations come with vibrato, the bigger Instruments Collections offer much more variety (see Solo Strings I).

    Still, sustain and tremolo shouldn´t sound the same at all....

    Best,

    Paul

    Ah. Blech. That seems pretty weird, as I'd imagine just a sustain without vibrato is gonna be probably the articulation you'd end up using most of all. I've heard the Solo Strings I articulations and they sound really nice.. but the price on top of what I've paid already makes me sadface :( Oh well.

    For most music and with most string players, vibrato is the default state. If you want anything different you always have to write it on the music.
