Detecting Legato
Two notes can be considered legato when there is very little or no time between
them (and they can even be overlapping). You can adjust the instrument’s sensi-
tivity to detect legato.
Legato can be used to trigger an oscillator, by assigning one of the
Legato triggers
to the Trigger Mode parameter (in the Sound Edit > Basic > Oscillator page).
▪ Adjusting the time gap
> Use the Max Time parameter to set the delay between notes (1…999 ms), to
consider them legato, even if there is a very small gap before them.
This is useful to avoid some notes in a chord are played legato, and some others
non-legato. Notes played with a small gap are still considered legato notes. A
value of approx. 15 ms is usually considered effective when playing chords.
▪ Adjusting the legato key range
> Use the Max Range parameter to set the range (1…127 semitones) within
which notes can be considered legato. If you play a wider interval, the notes are
always considered non-legato.
This is typical of some acoustic instruments, where legato is only possible within
a small interval, but not on wider ones.
As an example, please try the ‘Trumpet 2 DN1’ sound, where the Max Range is 5
semitones. Play legato with intervals smaller than 5 semitones, and you will hear
how smoother legato notes will become. Play legato with wider intervals, and le-
gato smoothing will be lost.
