    Hi Noose

    The Chamber Strings come with some Interval Performances:


    10 PERF INTERVALLegato
    Portamento
    Legato on the same string
    Zigane (gipsy)
    Marcato
    Spiccato

    You will get "Glissandi" with Portamento and Zigane.

    If you use them you have to take them as they are.

    You can't make them faster or slower.

    As with the normal legato samples: Let overlap the first note into the

    second one a bit and you will get the glissando.

    These glissandos are natural ones. So they sound very good and emotional

    If you want to use the pitch-bend effect you have to take into account

    that you only have a range of +/- 2 halftones. So that could be not enough

    for some cases. Further it sounds maybe not as good as you expect it.

    Nevertheless, here I'm going to show how to use the pitchbend function:
