    Hi

    I have some long notes in a trombone part, using the BRASS TTB ViPro preset articulation pLnV. When I play legato (with a small overlap) the second note will not loop. So the first note will sustain but the second note will end BEFORE the keyoff.

    Is there a solution to that problem?

    Two possible solutions; use a sustain for the second note, or leave a gap between notes and cover it with the sustain pedal.

    Do you still get a legato-transition here?

    No, it forces a start note.

    It's also possible to add a patch to your preset which uses already blends to looped sustains, for example:

    02 TTB_perf-leg_noVib_sus

    Hi

    Thanks for all your replies. The job I was working on was a very short introduction to a piece, and I used another patch. I will go into more details with it later.

    There is some undocumented looping inconsistency which is bound to surprise each person as he encounters it, but they say it's by design with respect to the individual samples. See the discussion starting at the 4th post here:

    I've had very good luck with the method of crossfading from a legato sample into a sustain.  The best thing about this method is that sustains have mroe dynamic layers than legato samples anyway, which means that you can have an ever-morphing sound after the transition by gently adjusting the dynamic quite a bit more smoothly than you'd be able to do with the legato sample.

    In my experience this kind of evolving sound is much more natural than a flat single-dynamic held note since most performers tend to adjust their tone and breath on-the-fly.
