Legato

I have a piece with piano parts that were entered in Staff View, so the durations are all at 100%.  Is there a way to make all of the notes in a track or selection just slightly longer to create a legato sound.  The piano is Alicia's Keys in the free Kontakt Player, and there doesn't seem to be any legato setting as there is in some other Soft Synth players.

It's a minimalist type of piece, so it doesn't matter if it sounds mechanical.  I would just like to see if it sounds better legato.

Thanks.

    Can you not just select all of the notes with a lasso and then drag them out longer using the trim tool?

    I've only used the Trim Tool on individual notes.  It hadn't occurred to me that it could adjust all selected notes at once.  That does the trick.

    Thank you.

    Just a quick addendum to this, and it does not affect the already stated solution:-

    If you are not doing so aready, I would get used to using the Smart Tool, which does pretty much anything that the other editing tools do, and it saves you jumping in and out of your tool box.

    regards
