    I have Appassionata Strings and I thought perf rep leg was basically legato on the same string.. but I'm looking at the articulations for VI Solo Strings, and I see it has both legato on the same string, and perf repetition legato. What's the difference? (in other words, if I wanted to play C G G and the last two notes is just a bow direction change..)

    "perf repetition legato"
    offers legato performed repetitions on the same note,
    therefor this are no interval legatos (not on different and not on the same strings)

     Hello Herb,

    How could i use this "rep-Legato". It is also intendet to crossfade in a "p-Leg-Sample"?

    That works great!! (with a fast Crossfade to a pLeg.)

    Thx anyway

    Herb, I'm so sorry to bring this up again but it seems every time the topic comes up I'm confused again.  What's the difference between the same-note legato in a regular performance legato patch and the same-note legato in a perf rep patch?  Thanks for being patient with me!

    Hi Ron, 

    Yes, that works.

    1) (Legato): There´s only ONE sustained note repetition. 

    2) (Perf Repetitions): Multiple Repetitions in different lengths (staccato, portato, legato). Legato Repetitions contain 5 reps, faster Repetition Patches contain 9 patches (check Library Manual for details). 

    Best,
