Woodwind Legato Question

[tomhartman]

I'm a little confused about how the woodwind legatos, or for that matter, all the Perf Legatos, are intended to be used.

Are they principally intended only for fast sections?

Because today I was doing a passage where oboe plays a slow, lyrical line over strings, and naturally called up the Perf Leg oboe. I quickly realized that though it played great, it had no vibrato. So this means, everytime I want a vibrato note in the figure, I have to set up another midi track, and load a Non Perf Legato Oboe for just THAT note with vibrato, and then try to hope I can match everything up.

Is this what everyone is really doing?

Thanks

No, I bought the Horizon French oboe release to resolve the lack of vibrato problem.

Tom, take a listen at what Herb did with the French Oboe:

Tom,

What you are doing is exactly how I approched the old oboe and English horn. The new library with french obe and English horn to my ears are far more useful. They figured out what most people wanted and delivered it.

Yes, I'm saving up for Frenchie; I'm afraid that I've already deleted the Viennese Oboe from my Hard Drive [:(]

Well, almost. [:D] I for one would have liked an mf legato oboe patch. Oh well...
