I had Ian Fritz email me about this too. But the reason I mentioned it was
because I observed it at one point when comparing my Nord violin to the real
thing, I'm almost positive. That's the weird part. I don't know what
violin sample I was using though. But the ones I looked at a few hours ago,
I couldn't replicate the affect using just a sawtooth wave as a reference.
If I find out what files I compared I'll hopefully clarify the issue.
