Adaptive Legato Engine
Berlin Strings features an innovative new legato system which analyzes your performance to choose between four different types of legato:

- Slurred expressive legato
- Agile, fast legato (scripted)
- fast runs legato
- portamento

With velocity you have control over different captured bow stroke intensities (soft attack, immediate attack, accented attack). With the sustain pedal you can add a soft decay to end a phrase. These release samples have been specifically recorded.

Additionally, the faster you play the more blurred the intonation will turn out - like in a real string performance. These blurred intonation effects will be created by specifically sampled articulations.

Via a CC of your choice you can switch between different vibrato expressions.
Please view our screencast "CHAPTER II: Legato" to get further information.

Sections and their Sizes
For Berlin Strings we decided to choose smaller section sizes to keep the definition and vibrato details in the sampled patches.
Several crossfading techniques (dynamic layers, legatos fade scripts, vibrato fading) or playing more than one voice leads to a bigger and pad-like undefined string sound. With smaller sections we´re trying to take this effect into calculation to end up with a detailed, expressive orchestral string section.

Berlin Strings includes the following sections:
- 1st Violins (8 players)
- 2nd Violins (6 players)
- Violas (5 players)
- Celli (5 players)
- Basses (4 players)
