Hey all - what's the thinking behind the 'Legato with sustain crossfading' patches in Special Edition? So far they sound the same as the regular legatos to me, am I missing something?

SE 'Legato with sustain crossfading' patches?

These patches offers looped sustains.
This works for legato passages with long notes, especially usefull for instruments where the legato samples are rather short.
(piccolo trumpet, tenor trombone for example)
The original performance legato samples do have more espressive character than these looped sustains.
So I would use the 'Legato with sustain crossfading' exclusively, where the notes of the normal legato patches are too short.

Wow, I never realised that, thanks for the tip! Looped perfomance legatos, very useful. By the way, thanks to VSL for re-introducing the numbers that display in the VI's 'H-Span' and 'V-Span' windows - they make it much easier to accurately copy those switch settings from one VI to another.
