To clarify this all, here's a quote from Vienna:
>The Performance Tool (a plug-in with EXS24 mk II):
>Our basic idea is following the nature of making music: Musicians
>don´t think (and feel) in single notes but rather in tone sequences,
>melodies. So we established a system, that makes every tone of a
>sequence accessible, by dissecting the first, second etc. note,
>leaving the ambience of it´s predecessor to be the authentic and
>natural connector between the notes of the sequence (which is why we
>call it Performance!).
>
>For Repetition Performances this means, you have freedom in tempo,
>articulation, velocity on your fingertipps!
>
>This means: play repetitions LIVE staccato, legato, portato, it will
>always sound natural, because every tone you trigger was really
>played in the sequence, and as you finish playing your repetition,
>you trigger the last originally played note of the repetition by
>keyswitch.
>
>For the Legato Performances : we have recorded every intervall from
>the minor second to the octave of every tone in the range of the
>instrument, always upwards and downwards, p and f, with/without
>vibrato and for the strings with/without portamento.
>Then we dissected the starting tone, leaving the target tone with
>the ambience of the starting note (yes, to be the natural connector).
>
>So within a Legato-Mode there´s lots of target notes waiting to be
>triggered (up to 24 in the middle of the instrument range, always
>depending on the interval you´re playing, up or down).
>
>As you play an interval, the Midi Performance Tool automatically
>provides you with the target note you need. Additionally whenever
>you finish your melody line, it always provides you with a fresh
>starting note. And of course when you finish your line, you can
>trigger a release sample for the last tone by keyswitch.
Hope this helps...
