    Hello,

    I recently purchased Appasionata and I am very pleased with the epic sound of all of the strings. Today I was adding a decrescendo articulation (4 sec) and was wondering if there is a way to control the time of the decrescendo? I would like it to fade a little slower, not meaning to extend the 4 sec rule though.

    Thankyou,

    Hi there. You can use CC7 (volume) or CC11 (expression) commands to add fades and swells, but even so it might be difficult to alter the natural dynamic of a decrescendo in the way you described. An alternative approach would be to load a 5s decrescendo (if AS has them) and use CC11 to 'chase the fade'. If that sounds unnatural, try applying a CC11 fade to sustain samples.

    Hi Tony,

    did you check out the Velocity Xfade feature yet?

    Please have a look at our Video Tutorials, this might be exactly what you´re looking for [:)]

    O.T. I was just watching the tutorials and VI looks sooo good! [H]

    P.S. That's coming from a guy who's not too happy about samples being locked BTW. [[;)]]

    Yes Paul,

    Veocity fades is a good idea. What I was going for here is to make the whole string section fade together so doing Vel fades will work but I would have to do them all the same. I'll give it a try.

    Thanks
