Hehe... yep, can't wait to give you more of my money once Solo violin II shows up... hehe... Thanks for all your kind advices. I'm sure alcohol will work... I had the impression that the solo string legato patches already used the sustained notes, since if you only play 1 long note, without any preceding "slurred" notes, you do get a "as long as you hold it"-note. So I was thinking - how hard can it be to automate a crossfade between the legato and the sustained note? Isn't this what's going on in the trombone legato+sus patch? š Flemming
OK, you need to understand the difference between start notes and legato notes.
-
A start note is exactly what it says; a note that isn't preceded by another.
-
A legato note is one that includes the little grace note before the note proper happens. The pitch of the grace note depends on what the preceding note is. If you leave a gap between notes (over a certain amount) you automatically get a start note.
So you can see that you are talking about the length of two similar notes which use different samples.
As to the legato+sus issue, I don't think it would be that difficult to automate as it does in the trombone patches. Maybe if you approach VSL and offer to pay for all the many, many hours of editing to make this possible, they would do it for you. I don't know. However, before you go this route just think about how many samples have to be re-edited and mapped. Thousands, I would imagine. This will not be cheap. [;)]
