Q. Do you tend to use the
String Sustains for your String Harmony ? If not, do you ever use them ? if Yes, for what ?
I'm asking because these days everyone seems to use Legatos for the Strings instead of the sustains. Just curious, and do you think Developers are expecting us to use these Sustains ? or just throwing them in as a bonus ?
I find using String Sustains not very convincing, and creates a big mush of sound, with little definition compared to using Singe Legato lines to create the harmonic bed for a composition. Especially given the Sustain transition sound clunky/disconnected from one chord to the next, and the sound of too many strings playing, i.e. if you happen to play a triad using the First Violins. ..etc. sounds unrealistic.
I have posted a thread on this topic a little while ago. Please feel free to voice your opinion about String Sustain articulations.
