How to adjust Portamento Playback that is automatically added by Muse Sounds
This question is about how to eliminate or reduce the portamento that Muse Sounds is adding during the playback of certain instruments. For example, when notating a violin to play a quarter note C4 to a quarter E4, a portamento is added to the sound. How do I eliminate this from occurring or at the least reduce the amount or frequency of these portamentos. All of the instructions that I have seen about portamento are about how to adjust the playback of the sound when it has been specifically notated in the score and they do not address how to adjust what the program is adding "on its own" during playback.

Basically, you can't. All you can do is not use solo 1 instruments. Solo 1 is more expressive than solo2. Same with sections. It is not about desks.

I am using the section sounds and it's extremely bad when trying to listen to anything that is faster than Andante. The additions are stylistically incorrect and unnecessary.

Are you using section 2 sounds where possible? Also, it can help to turn off reverb on those channels. Sometimes.

I am using that sound when possible and I have turned off the reverb. That's not the problem. The problem is that playback uses portamento too much. In fact, most string players avoid portamento in their playing.

I agree. Which sounds in particular are you talking about. Sometimes for violin sections, I have to use Viola sections instead. Strings aren't the only problem. Solo trumpet is mostly a slop factory. And it used to be worse.
