  • Download Instruments - performance legato?

    Does anyone know if the downloadable instruments contain performance legato files?  They seem to have performance repetition files, but not performance legato.  Am I misinterpreting this?

    Thanks,

    All the ones i have do. I think you're confused only because of terminology. Performance legatos, portamento, etc are referred to as "Performance Interval" patches. So yes, for those instruments which are physically capable of playing an interval whether it be legato or portamento or whatever, yes, most of them do. I only say most because i dont own all of them, and there arent interval samples for most percussive/leyboard type instruments due to the nature of how theyre played.

    Hmmm, I was looking at the downloadable Bass Trumpet and Cornet, but neither had samples listed as "performance intervals".  Are you talking about download instruments, or DVD instruments?  All the Brass, Woodwind and String DVD instruemtns I have include performance intervals, but I was hoping to augment my library with some downloadable instruments, but I don't want them if they do not have performance interval samples!  They are essentail to realistic sounding performance.

     Hi Astro,

    all download woodwind and brass instruments offer "performance intervals" patches.

    The "Sample Content" link (here of the Bass trumpet),

    http://vsl.co.at/en/211/496/817/859/1306/914.htm 

    lists: Legato normal, with sustain crossfading, and fast
    which means that there are three different performance legato patches avaialble

    1) normal,

    2) with sustain crossfading,

    3) fast (for fast legato movements)

    best

    AH HA!  Thank you, Herb.  I guess i missed it because I am so used to seeing it listed under "performance interval" legato!

    Thanks for clarifying this.  Manchmal bin ich ein wenig dumm!  [:D]
