Crocus Soundware has released Itasca: Legato Violins, a pair of sample libraries with closely recorded violins with legato functionality. They Say:
The core library features a true sampled legato engine, meaning the performer's transitions between notes have been recorded and programmed into the software. This allows the user to play interconnected melodic passages, with various types of transition samples seamlessly carrying the performance from note to note. The sustain samples are long, expressive and evolving, with the performer imparting character and movement into each.
The user-interface allows the whole melodic line to be creatively assembled from its constituent parts: the head, sustain, legato transition and tail. The software provides solo and ensemble recordings, allowing the user to layer up to six players. Different sustain articulations can be activated at the same time, offering further creative possibilities.
A second library is included based on our Liminal instruments, which are useful for naturalistic pads and underscoring.
