Does Garritan Have Staccato Strings? (Sonar Professional)

• *** NEW *** ALL sustain samples are looped. Use this power responsibly! These samples were not looped to create musicians with infinite lung capacity but instead were created because many of the samples were too short.
• Section and solo instruments
• Sustain, normal, staccato, accented articulations for all strings, brass, woodwinds
• Pizzicato for all strings
• Tremolo for all strings sections (plus tremolo for solo violin)
• Articulations can be loaded individually or as part of a key switch patch
• Adjustable attack with the mod wheel for the patches labelled “normal-mod-wheel”
• Round robin for staccato strings to simulate up and down strokes of the bow
• 2 velocity layers for trumpets, french horns, trombones
• A light randomization of pitch and volume when repeating notes, like real players
• All samples have been checked (and corrected if necessary) for tuning issues
• All samples have been checked (and corrected if necessary) for panning issues
• All samples volumes have equalized so max volume is nearly the same value
• All instruments are set to only play within their proper note range
• All instruments are mapped to appear in the proper place on a musical score so in some cases, to reach all the notes on a MIDI controller, it might be necessary to set the midi controller to transpose the notes or set your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) to transpose the MIDI
• All instruments include a general purpose articulation called “Normal-mod-wheel”. This is effectively a sustain patch with a fast attack, but the mod wheel reduces the rate of the attack, for the times when you don’t want the slower crescendo of the sustain patch, but you still want a sustained note.
• General purpose patch for full string section (violins, violas, cello, bass in a single patch)
• General purpose patch for full brass section (trumpet, french horn, trombone, tuba a single patch)
• General purpose patch for full woodwinds section (piccolo flute, flute, oboe, clarinet, english horn, bassoon)

After several years testing numerous Strings VSTs, for many reasons today I only use one: AudioBro LA Scoring Strings (LASS), also LASS Legato Sordino (real sordinos, not simulated like others).

I don't really know because I haven't tried to do that with Dimension or Rapture.  The site states that it works with the free Plogue sforzando sfx player, or the Aria player that comes with Garritan.
 
I am running it well with the free Plogue sforzando, which is a very light plugin, so you could insert many instances if desired.  https://www.plogue.com/products/sforzando/
 
I also discovered that sforzando included my Dimension Pro sounds in its instrument list.
