This technique (described in the SOS review of VSL First Edition: ) gives staggeringly effective musical results — for the first time, melody lines sounded smooth, flowing and properly ‘joined up’. A variant on the theme, legato portamento, accurately emulates the sinuous pitch slides of Indian ‘Bollywood’ pop strings to great effect.

At the same time, VSL introduced a ‘multiple note repetition’ feature where repeated keystrokes triggered different performances, in order to avoid the telltale ‘machine gun’ effect of a constantly repeated sample. (Nowadays, such note repetitions are referred to as ‘round robins’.) These techniques significantly advanced the realism of sampled instruments, and have subsequently been universally adopted by sample developers. Pv sol 7 5 crack download.
