Is there a video or some guidance on how to best play this library? For instance if I have a legato passage, I naturally choose legato but the first note almost always starts with a sort of chiff. Maybe I just need to get the hang of it better but can't seem to get it consistently. I love the sound of this library and certainly want to get the most of it.

    For me, I use very low velocity for the starting note of a legato line. That will get rid of that 'chiff'. Different velocities will trigger different techniques within the legato patch, i.e. portamento and slurs. Combining that with using CC1 for dynamic layers will add more realism.


    Hope that helps!

    Thank you Jonathan. That’s the start I needed.
