The section strings (which fabiolcati mentions) don't have the same playback as the solo strings. The section strings have samples that give the impression of many strings trilling at the same time (they're actually different sample files being used). The sections strings do follow trill rules quite effectively.
However, the solo strings use a basic sample and play the trill when you release the note (so all you actually do is press one key repeatedly with the keyswitch turned on to the appropriate interval and GPO does the rest), but this makes it difficult if not impossible to code in the rules file. The playable trill is nice because you can customize the speed of the trill, but again, it makes it difficult to code for in the rules file.
I'll reiterate my earlier question to Lubo:
Would it be possible to create a trill and/or tremolo for GPO's playable trills and tremolos in the same way that the Notion's bundled samples generate trills and tremolos (basically, use the MIDI sequence used by Notion files and thus bypass the playable trill feature)? I really don't understand how the bundled sounds are used so I may be way off the mark, but if Notion's articulations are actually MIDI notes for the Notion samples, then couldn't the ariculation rules be used for the GPO sounds?
Also, while I'm on the subject, is playback for fingered tremolos in the works? Even with Notion's bundled sounds it seems that the fingered tremolos are treated as measured tremolos. Does that make sense?
