    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
    Beat Kaufmann

    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 [[:)]]
