Legato Bow Change Smooth
This instrument features a gentle legato bow direction change that blends two connected
notes together with a soft, non-slurred attack. A performance script determines which
layer is selected based on whether legato playing is detected or not, and timing between
legato intervals is adjusted (tighter or looser) based on how hard or soft you play (Note Ve-
locity). When playing connected notes (legato) up to an octave in either direction, a legato
bow change articulation will playback, cross-fading into a sustain vibrato layer (consisting
of a light vibrato articulation in the soft dynamic level, and a lyrical vibrato articulation
in the loud dynamic level). When playing disconnected (non-legato), the same sustain
vibrato layer will playback. CC 11 (Expression) controls overall loudness, and CC 1 (Mod
Wheel) controls dynamics (up to 2 levels).
Legato Runs
This instrument allows you to create seamless multi-note runs, most realistic at fast
tempos, while affording more flexibility than pre-recorded runs. A performance script
determines which layer is selected based on whether legato playing is detected or not,
and timing between legato intervals is adjusted (tighter or looser) based on how hard or
soft you play (Note Velocity). When playing connected notes (legato) up to 3 semitones
(a minor 3rd) in either direction, a legato runs articulation will playback, with a round
robin (x2) cycle per note. When playing connected notes (legato) 4 semitones and up to
an octave in either direction, a legato bow change articulation will playback. Both runs
and legato layers cross-fade into a détaché layer with a round robin (x2) cycle per note.
Playing disconnected (non-legato) will trigger the same détaché layer. CC 11 (Expression),
and CC 1 (Mod Wheel) control overall loudness.
Legato Slur
This instrument features a legato slur articulation in which multiple notes can be played
uninterrupted, on a single bow stroke; each note moves in the direction of the next just as
it’s ending to ensure smooth playback. It shines at slow to medium tempos when there’s
plenty of time to hear the individual transitions between notes. A performance script
determines which layer is selected based on whether legato playing is detected or not,
and timing between legato intervals is adjusted (tighter or looser) based on how hard or
soft you play (Note Velocity). When playing connected notes (legato) up to an octave in
either direction, a legato slur articulation will play, cross-fading into a sustain vibrato
layer (consisting of a light vibrato articulation in the soft dynamic level, and a lyrical
vibrato articulation in the loud dynamic level). When playing disconnected (non-legato),
the same sustain layer will playback. CC 11 (Expression), and CC 1 (Mod Wheel) control
overall loudness, and CC 1 (Mod Wheel) controls dynamics (2 levels).
LegSus Slur
This instrument features a legato slur articulation in which multiple notes can be played
uninterrupted, on a single bow stroke; each note moves in the direction of the next just
as it’s ending to ensure smooth playback — but instead of separate layers for the legato
and sustain portions, each note is sustained at the end of the legato transition, allowing
for less cross-fading to preserve the feeling of a live performance. A performance script
determines which layer is selected based on whether legato playing is detected or not, and
timing between legato intervals is adjusted (tighter or looser) based on how hard or soft
you play (Note Velocity). When playing connected notes (legato) up to an octave in either
direction, a combined legato / sustain slur articulation will play. When playing disconnect-
ed (non-legato), a sustain expressive vibrato layer will play. CC 1 (Mod Wheel) controls dy-
namics of both the connected (legato) and disconnected (non-legato) layers based on its
