    Hi, I'm a beginner in orchestral music and I'm trying to understand why in Orchestral and Appassionata strings there is no perfomance repetition for staccato. Does it sound better with only 2 répétitions (normal staccato patch) ? Or perhaps this articulation is generaly use for adding punch in music and it's too soft comparing to Chamber strings ?

    From memory, the Appassionata Strings have Performance Spiccato, and the Orchestral Strings have both Spiccato and Staccato Performance Repetitions. Check the sample content under "Products" on this Website for details.

    Hello DG, Yes you right,sorry :) so it's missing only on Appassionata, because we don't really need it ?

    It's not so much of whether or not you need it, it's more a case of they didn't record it...! The spiccato reps should be sufficient for most needs though.

    And if you have VI PRO 2, you could always create different variations of the Spiccato rep by using the time stretch feature.

    I thought there was a good reason that could help me to understand the way of composing with samples. For example, I have the feeling that Appassionata fit better in a mix for long notes, but after all it's more a matter of taste. Yes I bought VI pro recently ! I will give a try, thank you for all :) All the best. ALex
