- In this week’s episode, Alex unravels the mysteries surrounding legato. However, he doesn’t do that all by himself, but gets support from professional cellist Clara Baesecke. Clara helps him understand what legato really means for a string instrument and gives some advice on how to program realistic bowing. And wouldn't it be great if Clara could play a melody line on her cello for Alex’s newest composition?
Virtual Orchestration is a collaboration between Berklee College of Music (Boston, USA) and Orchestral Tools (Berlin, Germany).
A big warm thanks to Clara Baesecke and her cello 🎻 for supporting us on this episode.

I'm becoming a huge fan of this series. It's not the usual repeated YT midi programming info. This truly educational for the more experienced composer.
When Clara started recording the melody on her cello😌... Nothing beats the realism and expression, it's like night and day!
What a fantastic video/lesson. Samples do sound great, but when you hear a cellist, especially at the level that Clara is at, what a difference. She plays SO sweetly, wow. I now want to hire a cellist to sit with me and walkthrough the pieces I’ve written!
I love Clara's cello sound! The instant I heard her play I fell in love with her sound. Superb!
Awesome illustration and proof of the difference between the most expensive sound library and a real educated musician.
I think legato has to be used especially for fast lines. I use key switches to go from sustain to legato back to sustain. I’m sure most people do that. I’ve only been programming for two years now so I’m not very good.
Clara's performance was amazing - so passionate. It's a nice work flow to replace solo lines in your midi mockup with real human recorded performances if you can. The legato bowing info was very useful and more organic than any rigid rules.
Such a very informative video! It happens to be something that I've noticed in some mockups I've listened to. Even though I didn't associate the sound with legato. Legato is fun and luckily, I've not used that articulation for everything. From the beginning I figured it'd be better to have variety in articulation by using the different options to better convey emotion. Having the Cellist there with you to discuss and present the way an experienced player would play a celli line was superb. I learned a lot. thanks.
This is commitment to the craft. It's a bit demoralizing for start ups as we're literally working on the melodies, harmonies, and integration of other instruments, let alone perfecting the parts to match their natural instrumentation.
This was fantastic, as was Clara. Please do more of these with musicians talking about what they can realistically play (such as when they need to rebow). Another great idea would be to see how fast a string player can play staccato!! And for how long.
Absolutely fascinating. When Clara was taken aback by the different ways sample libraries have to describe legatos it made me think that a sampled instrument is its own thing, and we're learning to play a computer. Which is fine of course, and endless fun. Above all, like all instruments, virtual or real, knowing how they works in your hands is the key to success.
I liked Claras (analog) cello-simulation by singing the lines and pretending playing. Thank you both!
What a great, informative series! Clara's performance at the end absolutely proving that there's no substitute for a real player - thanks to all concerned.
These new tutorial videos are put together very well and really informative. I wish it was a full-blown course. I'd pay to learn learn more!
I can't stop looking at your content over and over again... It's a goldmine of information, perfectly presented and explained, with spot on exemples and demonstrations. I cannot say how grateful we all are to access such content. Thanks a lot to you and all the team behind this channel. ❤
I'm amazed by the quality of your videos! Thank you for all this valuable information and congrats to everyone involved in the production!
This series is just so much fun and incredibly informative!
Very informative! Thank you so much.
Very very useful, that's not the kind of information we can find easily (even in paid courses). Thank you so much 🙂
One thing in advance: I liked the music right away - already the melody in the intro grabbed me immediately. Of course, Clara's playing surpassed the whole thing many times over. In any case, this video is extremely helpful. Many thanks for it!
