    Is everybody on vacation?  Are you still here herb?  [:D]

     I think that you can surmise that nobody else thinks it's a problem. [;)]

    If it really upsets you that much, and you don't want to change patch, just play the patch a bit short, hold the sustain pedal down to cover the gap and then carry on as normal.

     Hi Vincent, sorry for the delay.

    As DG just wrote, I indeed can't detect any problem with G4 to A4 interval.

    Thank you for your answers DG and herb. 

    I will find a workaround for my oboe passage in my composition.  [;)]

    A workaround?  Why?   What is supposed to be wrong with this? There is nothing audible in this except a normal legato transtion on an oboe.

    Thank you for the edit,  I prefer this way better than your previous aggressive message.   [;)]

    Maybe my ears are bad,  I'm hearing weird transitions between A and G in the examples that I posted previously...

    In 3 months my next music college session start.  I will ask an oboe professor what he thinks about these demos...  Thank you for your time.  [;)]

    Sorry, I am a smart aleck.   No, your ears are not bad, you are probably just hearing the natural, deliberately imperfect transition sound.

     In the meantime I've told you a good workaround, so it shouldn't stop you working.

    Thank you for your help DG.

    For my composition I am at harmonisation step right now.  I will orchestrate my composition when harmonisation will be finish,  maybe in 2 or 3 months.

    You can be sure that I will try the trick you give me.  Thanks again!  [;)]

     Though it still doesn't sound at all weird to me.  It sounds good in fact.  I still don't understand why this is considered "weird" and in need of a workaround.  it is what happens when one samples legato.

    And I don't understand why I'm the only one who ear this patch weird!  [:D]  Maybe my ears have a problem with the 440 HZ!  [:O]

    I can tell why you would think it sounds weird but it doesn't sound unnatural to me. It's probably just a sound that doesn't sit well in your ears but there's nothing wrong with that.

     Thank you for your time Casiquire.  I think my ears are unbalanced!  It's strange...  [:D]

    Being unbalanced in every way only makes you a better musician!

    Can't hear any problem either, sounds good to me, that's a nice real sound of oboe

    The more messages I got on my thread the more the situation become embarrassing for me.  [:D]

    What a nice way to show my poor audio engineer skills!  Maybe I could collect some donations for an ears operation!  [:D]
