I got the ad about the string techniques offer and it took my attention that, among other things, they offer:
"Sul Ponticello, Sul Ponticello Tremolo, Natural Harmonics, Artificial Harmonics, Col Legno, Bartok Pizzicato, Minor Third Tremolo, Major Third Tremolo, Perfect Four Tremolo"
I am afraid this is a very wrong approach to tremolos and it's deeply rooted into Notion's design and tied to the sale of Notion's products. Why did they decided that fingered tremolos were special techniques, just to be able to sell them separatedly? And why the TRILL for external VSTS will only play up to a major third, even when using the 'TRILL ON' action in custom rules? Notion plays that alternating notes. How is it that it can alternate between a third but not between an octave?
They can still sell their recorded trills as techniques for the internal instruments, which are a nice addition and sound better than the simple alternance of notes. But I honestly hope that the guys at Notion think better about the playback of non-recorded trills and set them free, for it's not a cosmetic or decorative issue - It's an annoying limitation that stops playback from being correct, harmonically and melodically. They are notes, not techniques.
