Appassionata Legato Strings - Dorico Template

1. What it is

This Dorico template is built specifically for use with Spitfire Audio’s Appassionata Strings, fully equipped with preloaded expression maps to take advantage of the library’s full articulation set. Whether you need fluid legatos, warm sustains, or agile staccatos, every articulation responds naturally and accurately — no manual mapping required. Just write: a slur triggers a seamless legato; a staccato mark delivers the glancing attack that defines this library’s intimate performance style.

2. Why you need it

Designed for composers working on emotionally rich, melody-driven projects, this template gives immediate access to a professional-grade playback environment. From the very first note, you'll hear your writing through the lush, natural resonance of AIR Studios in London — a reverb that requires no additional processing to sound complete. The template is plug-and-play: open the project and compose freely, with expressive playback and responsive dynamics already in place. Perfect for film scoring, concert work, or any context where strings are not just accompaniment, but protagonists.

This template is also available in versions for Sibelius and MuseScore, with tailored configurations that preserve the same level of expressiveness and workflow efficiency across platforms.
