  • cello legato problem SE

    Hi.
    I was trying to reproduce the first bars of Bartok Concerto for orchestra: cellos and double basse have a simple legato phrase that begins with these three ascending notes: c2# - f2# - b2

    I am using VI SE, Orchestral String - VC 8 legato patch. Notes are overlapping, so legato is working.

    The problem is that the interval c2# - f2# sounds bad because the f# is suddenly too strong, even if the velocity is very low. I also tried with Velocity Xfade, same problem. And it only happens with this interval, because if I play c# - e# for example the passage is smooth, no problem. It seems that the low velocity f# sample is loud by itself?

    I would put an audio example of the two cases (c#-f# and c#-e# intervals) but I don't now how to insert an audio excerpt.

    By the way, the same thing happens with the DB legato patch, only it happens in the interval f#1-b1.

    Thanks
    Paolo

    any help?

    sounds like a little problem, but it's annoying. i start writing a song and there's already a hitch in the second bar!
    and c#-f# legato in cellos is not such an infrequent interval...

    i managed to upload the audio files at bestsharing, but you have to download the files, they're very small files anyway.

    This is the file with the original Bartok melody:

    This is the file with an e# instead of f#. Everything is fine this way.
