You can choose any articulation by keyswitching, using the mouse, or with automation.
Please note that if an articulation is not available for a certain Division, then you will see the name of the articulation on the GUI become
"greyed out" when you select the Division.

ACCENT STYLES - Can be applied to Smooth, Tremolo, Half Step Trills, Whole Step Trills and Short Notes. See more on Accent Styles...
Marcato (or Staccato) - Aggressive attacks. Good for heavy, robust and assertive passages. Works well playing in a "staccato" style as well.
Detache - A more even attack than "Marcato". Good for bringing out bow changes between notes.
Spiccato - Played with the bow bounced off the string. Good for lively, playful passages.
Marcato Molto - More aggressive than Marcato.
Detache Molto - More aggressive than Detache
Spiccato Molto - More aggressive than Spiccato.
Please note that since the "Molto" articulations use additional sample layers, using the Solo Divisons may not sound
truly "solo".
