Details
Sampling emphasizes clean transients and controllable resonance so parts sit naturally with orchestra or band. Velocity layers and pedal or articulation behavior (where applicable) support both delicate motifs and driving ostinatos. Round‑robins and release layers are used judiciously to keep repetition musical.
The internal mixer provides straightforward tone, dynamic and space shaping for quick placement. For more experimental pianos and designed instruments, snapshots demonstrate practical mixes that translate in scoring contexts without heavy additional processing.
