Orchestral Contrabass 1: Instrument Expansion for Instrument X

The Unified Articulation Editor puts performance techniques in one interface, so staccato, legato and tenuto sit alongside instrument-specific techniques. Articulations can be stacked on a single note for hybrid textures.

Predictive dynamics map dynamics across an arrangement based on pitch, note duration and phrasing, and a manual override lane gives you direct control over the result. Automatic Smart Articulation handles part of the articulation choices as well.

AI Retakes generate alternative takes for a phrase, either for a whole section or for specific parameters such as timbre, micro-pitch and intensity.

Overlapping notes are rendered as separate voices rather than cutting each other off, which suits dense chords and contrapuntal lines written in a single track. Unison can stack up to 16 voices to turn a soloist into a section.

The microphone mixer lets you balance spot, tree and room microphone configurations to shape the stereo field and room reflections of the recording.
