Articulations and Playing Techniques

The library covers a broad articulation set. Sustain is available with and without vibrato, and staccato is included for shorter notes.

Mordents are sampled in half-tone and whole-tone steps, both up and down, which helps with ornaments and quick melodic figures.

The library also includes frullati, triple and quintuple tonguing, key noises, multiphonics, long and short textures, mouthpiece effects and voice effects. These cover the extended techniques that are usually hard to program on a keyboard.
