Legato Transitions and Sound Character

Emma Legato is built on true legato sampling, which records the transitions between notes as well as the notes themselves. Sonora Cinematic describes the result as expressive and highly realistic performances.

The SPEED control sets how quickly notes glide into each other. You can set it manually for faster passages or slower, portamento-style lines. The AUTO setting adjusts the transition speed by note distance, so wider intervals glide more slowly. A keyswitch toggles AUTO on and off for changes during a passage.

Cinematic Reverb and Snapshots

The instrument includes a ready-to-use cinematic reverb suited to epic vocals. Two alternative signals are available. BLUE is a shimmery, heavily diffused ambience with a long tail. PINK is a slowly modulated reverb with granular-like processing.

A set of curated snapshots gives quick starting points for common sounds, and the EXPRESSION slider works as a pre-effects volume control for shaping performances.
