CINESAMPLES' ADAPTIVE LEGATO ENGINE - NEW IN v1.2!

Cinesamples applied the legato engine from CineStrings SOLO True Legato patches to Tina Guo Acoustic Cello Legato. It allows you to tailor the legato response to your own playing style, and is designed to respond musically to your performance. The engine detects your playing speed and intelligently adjusts the interval speed to match. This means you can play slow, expressive lines and fast runs in a single performance, without touching the speed dial. Additionally, the intensity parameter responds to velocity.
