INSTRUMENT DESIGN
PERFORMANCE CONTROLS
Dynamics
Easy, real-time adjustment of loudness and intensity (MIDI CC1)
Expression
Dynamically adjust the section volume
Attack
Controls the fade-in time and allows to soften the attack of the note start
Release
Provides subtle control over the reverb tail length
Brightness
The Brightness control allows you to adjust the high tonality of the strings

ADDITIONAL CONTROLS
Auto Divisi
Conveniently play polyphonic legato lines, chords and phrases while your string section is automatically split into the required number of Divisi sections to maintain an accurate player count.
Portamento to legato threshold
Controls the velocity value at which the instrument switches from portamento to legato transitions.
Legato Speed
Adjusts speed of the portamento transition, select
Vibrato amount
Controls the vibrato intensity.
Release Length
Allows to adjust the release time of the harmonics articulation
Round Robin
Indicator visualizes the selection of the alternative samples
Round Robin Mode Continuous / Random
Alternative samples for repeated notes are selected either in order or randomly.
Slam
Control the amount of compression on the short articualtions for increased impact.
Repetition
Selects the rhythm and accent of the automatic note repeats
Runs Scale
Select major or minor intervals within octave runs.
Runs offset
Controls the speed of the runs
