Hi JC
Here you have a VSL-link about the term MARTELÉ .
I dont know so far whether there exist martelé samples at VSL or not.

Today in most VSL libraries we have a group of samples called Short Notes.
For Strings you will find:

-Short stac - Notes (only with Chamber Strings Vi, Vla Cel but not DoubleB!)
- Stac-Notes
- 0,3s - Notes
- 0,5s - Notes
All these short notes are available with four layers* (pp, mf, ff, fff... I believe).
So no pure "Martelé" for the moment. [:'(]
It could be that VSL will offer us additions to the existing samples in future. I suspect that Herb's staff has recorded all possibilities we could wish... [[:|]]

But chin up !!!
I played some staccatos for you . Perhaps you can use the fff ones for your plans [*-)]:
So click...
Staccatos ff ">Staccatos ff "> Staccatos ff
and
Staccatos fff ">Staccatos fff "> Staccatos fff ...(sound almost like martelé)

Listening - order (ff and fff):
1. Solo DoubleB.
2. Chamberstrings DoubleB.
3. ProEdition DoubleB. (same as First Edition)
4. Chamberstrings Celli stac
5. Chamberstrings Celli short stac

Remark: No effects are used here - neither reverb nor any other effect.

Hope this helps a little [*-)]:

Best wishes

Thanks for your really helpful reply [[:)]]

I was really looking for that sound you get though... when double basses play Marelé the notes almost have no definite pitch,.. that was the sort of effect I was looking for ...

Thanks anyway [[:)]]
