Things to Try

  • 01Use the Modwheel to control dynamics on long notes, crossfading smoothly between soft (pp) and loud (ff) recordings
  • 02Play legato transitions by overlapping notes: hold down the first note while pressing the key of the second note to trigger the in-between sounds
  • 03Employ Performance Legato Patches for automatic articulation selection based on playing speed and velocity without manual keyswitching
  • 04Apply Con Sordino (mutes) to reduce dynamics and add a silkier, more tender feel to string lines
