Cinestrings Core Articulations

[Keith Wilby]

First of all, let me declare up front that I have no musical training at all, I'm completely self-taught, so what I'm about to ask might well seem obvious.

I have Cinestrings loaded up in my DAW and what I want is to play chords with a sustain articulation but with the attack of a staccato articulation. When I select sustain, the sound of the strings gently fades in, but I want it in my face the moment the bow touches the strings.

I hope that makes sense and I'm sure it must be possible but I'm missing something. I have the same issue with other VSTs such as The Orchestra Complete.

Any clues? Thank you.

Marcato articulations have a fast, strong, or robust attack on a sustained note. If this is not available in your package, then you may need to layer the instrument with both Sustain & Spiccato articulations on separate tracks but with the same midi notes driving them.

Many thanks, I'll look into that.
