Hi everybody,
In a quest to make my string mockups sound more natural, just wondering how you guys simulate the sound of a change/shift to another position on say a violin. To understand what I mean check out this video.
resembles the sound of a portamento/glissando, but the portamento part sounds thinner and more like a harmonic glissando, and of course the target note is bowed again. The sound effect is subtle but would add a lot more realism.
I've tried this: use a portamento patch, layer it with a delayed (like 20ms) short sample with an attack (like staccato). It sounds OK but could be better. Whenever there's a point in a melody where it's sensible for a violonist to change position, I would switch to that cell.
Anyone here tried something similar?
