Appassionata articulations??

[faucetmusic]

I've noticed that some of the articulations are missing from the Appassionata Strings that are in the Strings that ship with the Cube. What is the reasoning behind this?

Hi - the Appassionata Strings are not part of the Symphonic Cube. (The Cube contains Orchestral, Chamber and Solo strings.) Did you mean the Special Edition?

Hi Conquer,

The Appassionata Violins, for example, do not contain tremelos and trills ~ there's performance trills, but not recorded. There no glissandi or scale runs either. It's like this with the Violas, and Celli, too. And the Basses don't have Performance Interval legato. In other words, they don't have all of the articulations that my Strings from the Cube possess. I was just wondering what the reasoning was behind that. Why not do the same articulations as in the others?

The Appassionata strings do have tremolos.

However, they are basically intended as a general use, "cinematic" or big-sounding string ensemble. They do have all the important articulations, sustain, legato, detache, staccato, pizz, tremolo, etc. but do not have as many as the Orchestral Strings have because they are an addition to the body of string sounds already created, not a duplication.

Though I have found that you can use them for about everything needed in most normal scoring. Also, I doubt that VSL has finished sampling strings... In fact, my prophecy is that next on the agenda may be: single desk strings and solo violin 2. [[;)]]

Thanks William,

Yeah, the tremelos don't have their own folder, I found them in another one. That's what I sort of figured, is that they're an "addition" to the other string sounds. I guess I just wanted to make sure the Library loaded properly.
