    How can I make this (see attached audio file) with virtual strings and
    is it called string run?

    Thanks in advance for any hints!

    You should be able to do that with a soft legato, portamento or glissando articulation or with a glide/porta knob on a synth.

    Isn't it just an arp up? I don't hear a gliss.

    By "arp", you mean arpeggio? I think he is interested in the transition, not the interval/movement. Techically, yeah, you could do it without a legato line but I hear some gliss towards the last notes.

    It's also two lines blending at some point and not a single one, methinks.

    Plus, it's strings. There's no way you're going to get a piano-like arpeggio with clean tones/attacks. Especially on the 4th/5th (every 5th to 1st tranition) interval from the last note of the first arpeggio to the next you're going to get a slide. Listen to this:

    And then this:

    It's not really that piano-like. And it's a delicate line between a run and a glide:

    It is not an arpegio, its a scale.. Look for "Orchestral tools sorchestral string runs" for kontakt

    Thanks for all replies so far.

    Well, I'm interested in how I can rebuild this with vst strings - if it's possible in the first place.

    So I'm interested in the transition and the interval/movement - I think (hope I use the correct technical terms).

    As Baxter mentioned: I also think its an arpeggio played up.
    So, what Gramofon shows in the sheet music is an arpeggio in scale played up, right?

    Hmmm.. It seems I need more musical practice before I can do smth like that with vst or I will just hire a symphony orchestra :rofl:
