    I have issues with the Solo String Bass in SE playing portamento in the legato articulation no matter what CC1 is set for.  I don't have this issue with any of the other legato instruments.  Is this a bug?

    Hi Jim. Yes, that legato patch does feature portamento between some (not all) intervals. I've come across this phenomenon before with VSL libraries; the player obviously performed the samples that way, possibly because he felt it was impossible to play a good legato transition between the notes in question without introducing some kind of slide?

    I don't have SE, but Conquer is quite correct. On a double Bass certain intervals have to be played with a position change for the left hand, and are therefore always going to be played with portamento when played slurred (legato).

    That's correct. The left hand position changes for most interval steps are very large on the bass.
