    I am starting to go back through the Orchestral Violins patches available to me in the Special Edition (with PLUS) in order to make sure just what each patch is doing. First I want to nail down the basics.

    For example, I had assumed that the basic sustain and detache patches had to do with bowing (sustain= all one bow stroke, detache= bow stroke change with each note). But as I audition the patches, it sounds to me like it has more to do with note duration:

    sustain=plays so long as key pressed

    detache=plays for a limited duration

    detache short= plays for a shorter duration

    Is there some resource that explains this? Am I on the right track? I don't necessarily trust my ears.

    Hi,

    I´d definitely check out the Vienna Academy (linked o violins here) to learn more about certain instruments.

    Yes, those articulations have different lengths, and with VI PRO you can even adjust the length of these articulations to your needs, with the Stretching option.

    Best,
    Paul
