Yeah SINE is good but the interface is too deceptive. I remember reading about how you could add legato to other articulations and going "wowee" then forgetting it existed once I started using the player.You can get a more expressive legato sound by enabling transitions in the legato tab of the portato or swell articulations, gives melodies a nice "always in motion" quality. I hate how this stuff is barely discoverable (learned about it through Fredrik's posts on VI-C), could just add +LEG to the names. At least SINE's variation slider has labels on it!
The string players can downtune their instruments, similar to a guitar.Oh wow – this is pretty much up my alley – wasn't aware of it! Thank you!
Just out of curiosity: Is this downtuning normally done digitally in post or somehow on the instrument itself (if this is even possible)?
They sound surprisingly coherent. You wouldn't think it was just legato stitched to an expressive swell. That's why I'm impatient about Orchestral Tools adding Berlin Strings to SINE. I wish they'd just get on with it already.I'm curious about the sound of said hidden legato options, now
