The legato script in CineStrings SOLO is designed to respond musically to your performance. This new engine features extra interface controls, allowing you to tailor the legato response to your own playing style. While this may increase your track count, many composers choose to have several patches loaded and switch via track instead of keyswitch or velocity.ĬineStrings SOLO's True Legato patches feature a brand new adaptive legato engine, built from the ground up. They are derived from the master articulation patches and allow you to save memory space, for example, if you only need a Spiccato and a Sustain patch. We have included every articulation as separate patches. This added flexibility allows you to mix and match a STD legato transition with an ESP sustain, or an ESP legato transition with a STD sustain, all in realtime while playing.
The Vibrato Crossfade (CC2) patches also function similarly to the True Legato patches, with the additional functionality of being able crossfade between the standard (STD) sustain and the espressivo (ESP) (more vibrato) sustain styles at any point using MIDI parameter CC#2. Some instruments include additional articulations such as Tremolo and Bartok Pizzicato (the string is snapped back onto the fingerboard), and Vibrato Crossfade. The result is a smooth and realistic legato performance. When you play a True Legato patch, it instantly analyzes the intervals you play, then plays the appropriate transitional leap between the notes. What is True Legato? We sampled all of the intervalic leaps throughout the ranges, upwards and downwards, for each instrument. Some instruments also include Short Spiccato. Our basic Articulations Patches by default include Spiccato, Staccato, Marcato, Legato (Standard and Espressivo), and Sustains.
