The library features over 50 presets, showcasing a variety of articulations including true legato, flutter tongue, crescendos, and percussive expressions. Each articulation is designed to provide a rich, nuanced performance, with a focus on both melodic and textural elements. The instrument is recorded with five microphone positions, allowing for flexibility in mixing—from close mono to more ambient captures.
