Legato Runs: A very agile legato patch specifically for very fast passages and flourishes up to a minor 3rd.

Legato Portamento: A legato patch in which all the intervals are performed in a 'portamento' style with an intentional slide between notes.
Legato Slurred: A legato patch with slurred intervals performed with a 'moderate tempo' feel for sweeping melody lines.
