That's an attack issue with a particular voice. If I really like the sound of a certain "slow strings" voice, I'll polyvoice it with another string sound that has a better attack, but back off the MIDI volume on that voice so that the dominant voice is the one you like. -Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: Sharon Hooley To: Cake Talking List Sent: Friday, March 06, 2009 1:23 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Editing Lagging Strings Hi again! As some of you know, there's the problem of midi notes in string patches not responding immediately at it's full volume when activated. What is the best way to edit such imperfection? Is there an improvement in newer software? Thanks! Sharon
