Sound Character and Variation
Sampleson says Reed106 creates small variations of itself each time a note is played, which it presents as a way to avoid the static, repetitive character many virtual instruments develop over time. The developer also notes that spectral modelling can produce natural variation for every note and velocity, something it contrasts with round-robin sampling.
The instrument is intended as a raw sound source. Sampleson describes its built-in effects as a starting point, and notes that it can be processed with any third-party effect you prefer.
