– Improved Sul Pont releases.
– Increased default instrument volume to 0db.
– Added Limiter to protect against loud peaking in certain situations.
– Reduced Harsh Release volume by -2db.

– Pressing a keyswitch hard results in a permanent switch. Let go and the new articulation remains active
– Pressing a keyswitch softly results in a momentary switch. Let go and the prior articulation resumes
– The lock on the front page of the UI turns the keyswitch/velocity scheme OFF
– Don't like where we mapped key switches? No prob. You can shift them around to fit your workflow

Each note has been individually adjusted with a specific EQ response for vibrato that is based on reference recordings from Dovid

– Friedlander Violin's legato is now "VSL style", which means that playing in that overlapped style is easier than it used to be
– Prior notes of a melody are now retriggered if held down
– This lets you play trills with ease - simply hold down the first note while playing the destination trill note repeatedly
– We went through every single sample to make sure the legatos are as even and uniform as possible. What that means for you is that legato transitions are perfectly timed!

– Pizzicato - 4X round robin, 4 dynamics including Bartok/Slap pizz!
– Tremolos
– Sordino + Sul Pont is available for all articulations
– Sul tasto - performed on the fingerboard
– Immediate attack sustains - not harsh, but more than "normal"
– "Emo" attack sustains - an emotional swell into each new sustain

With the upgrade, the dynamics controller has a much wider range… from the quietest ppp all the way up to an edgy fortissimo!

– Responsiveness - you can control the legato's responsiveness… as this value goes up, it alters the start point of each legato transition, giving you a faster transition (at the expense of hearing the full legato sample)
– Transition Attenuation - if you find that any transitions are sticking out, or you want to de-emphasize the effect of an individual set of legato transitions, this knob will do just that! The higher the value, the more accentuated that momentary volume dip will be
– True Legato - For those who don't want it, click this button and your memory footprint will dramatically decrease
– Ensemble Randomization - you can now randomize the timing for the ensemble. This way, if the tightness of the group is 80 ms, you can randomize THAT value by a degree so that every note's timing is just a little bit different among all the virtual players

– Even with all the new content, the instrument carries a smaller memory footprint, AND is more efficient on your CPU than the prior version!
– You can now purge the legato transitions if you aren't using them, freeing up a lot of memory while still giving you access to the other articulations
