That was a very deceptive demo you have created. There are only two notes that use the forte performance legato. ALL others are quite obviously the piano performance legato. I challenge you to make a demo with %100 forte performance legato, in a classical style like the one you have posted.

This is getting fun.

Julie,

There are more than two forte notes in the demo. The fact is you don't own the library, so how could you know? Like I've already stated, I'm not going to waste my time by posting demos for you, when your mind is clearly made up.

Thanks,

Andy.

"When will you be happy - when someone's posted every possible interval with the forte leg patch."

Of course not. But you posted a demo consisting mostly of one patch in an attempt to demonstrate another. Every demo that I have heard of just the forte has sounded awful.

"The truth is that I could post a forte leg demo with no port what-so-ever"

Well, that certainly would clear things up. How hard is it to load up the demo you did on this thread on just the forte legato? Why hasn't *anyone* posted a demo that shows that the forte is fine?

"Until you own the library you will NEVER have a total understanding of how the patch works."

Which is why the demos are useful. Based on what has been posted, it sounds like the forte legato is more of a portamento. If that's a wrong impression, it is easily corrected by a demo showing otherwise.

It's a question of motivation. Besides which, if you honestly think that creating a convincing demo is as easy as just swapping dynamics.............
Andy.

The piano and forte legatos are supposedly programmed the same way and are supposedly interchangable. (Demos have been posted in which entire instruments have been swapped and both versions sound great) If swapping a piano patch for the corresponding forte one suddenly takes it from convincing to not, it sounds like something IS wrong.

Don't buy it then [:D] I'm certainly getting use out of it.


Andy. [:D]

why this discussion about that forte legato patch always finishs in closing topics ??

Carter-
Be careful what you say about this topic. Better to leave it alone- I have seen what happens when you persist with this topic. I don't want to be banned from the forum and I appreciate what VSL does with their generous assistance to me over that past few months on this forum. I would not want to jeapordize that.

Because all answers have been given already... twice, at least. I'd say there are other topcis that deserve our attention as well (oh, BTW, a day has 24 hours in this part of the world, too ... ;-] ...)
