  • Opus bundle and SE

    Sorry to talk about that again but can someone tell me what is the real difference between Opus 1 and Opus 2 (Opus Bundle) and Special Edition

    What instruments have all articulations in SE ?
    And what instruments have not ?
    Thank you

    Hi Faonfaon,
    Judging by the articulation lists it seems that every wind and string instrument in Opus 1+2 which is also in SE has all of SE's articulations and more (except possibly from "Legato with sustain crossfading" which I don't know exactly what it is). On the other hand SE has lots of instruments which are not included in the Opus bundle. Here are the articulation lists for SE and Opus 1.

  • "Legato with sustain crossfading"
    offers interval legato with looped sustains, so you get legato which works with very slow movements also.
    The legato patches and there features are described in a dedicated chapter of the Special Edition PDF manual.
