  • SY Strings, Slur slurred ?

    Just wondering about the slur preset which doesn't sound slurred to me.

    Slurred notes are notes in one bow. What we have here sounds, more or less depending on the notes, like some short portamento (which we miss btw). I mean like position change. Could be nice but...

    This is not sounding like slurred notes indeed, providing some artificial glissando between notes if ever we stay there for entire lines. Just unusable this way imo. One more Synchron articulations mystery.

    So, I'd like to use the 'Slur' articulation, not as a basic preset but more like a temporary one (position changes). I would expect using 'Attribute' instead of 'Direction' in Expression maps. I wonder how I could change the Synchron Player arborescence so as to go to 'Slur' from 'Soft' or 'Normal' Legato and back (while keeping the 'regular' or 'lyrical' XF vib position meanwhile)...

    Any idea ?


  • Well, I went a bit deeper, it looks like it works like it is, hopefully, I considered it more complicated than it is actually.

    This will be my (very) slight portamento preset then ;-) I still don't understand why it's called 'Slur'.
