Details

The library captures multi-samples from repeated performance phrases, ensuring consistency and timbral cohesion across a wide dynamic range of up to 15 dynamics. Selected patches include playable rolls that trigger automatically at high speeds, adding a natural blur to fast passages. Some instruments are recorded with multiple stage positions, allowing for creative layering and interplay.

Close and Decca mic positions were used in a hall setting, providing options for both clarity and ambient richness. The library is designed with an 80 ms global delay to enhance the liveliness of the performance-sourced samples, although a "tighten" knob can adjust this to 20 ms if needed. This delay contributes to a natural connection between notes, making it suitable for dynamic scoring contexts where rhythmic precision and texture are essential.
