    I need some very long notes for Solo Strings: about 32 seconds. But the notes play only for about 12-14 seconds (exception: the double bass plays long enough). Is there any solution for this?

    Hi lupus3, 

    It turned out to be very hard to loop Solo Strings with the material we recorded, so we decided to offer "built-in repetitions". Hold down your sustain pedal and retrigger a note, this will result in a bow change. Repeat as often as you like. 

    BTW, with long sustains, using Velocity Xfade might be a good addition.

    Best,

    Thank you for your quick reply, Paul! Holding down the sustain pedal and retriggering notes works.

    Best regards,
