Recorded in the "Druzhba" hall in Sofia, Bulgaria, Tickle offers two mic positions: Close and Hall, allowing for flexibility in mixing. The library features a single patch without instrument sections, providing a cohesive sound across the ensemble. It includes two dynamic layers—piano and mezzo-piano—along with four round-robins to enhance realism and variation in performance.

The ensemble consists of 10 first violins, 8 second violins, 6 violas, 4 cellos, and 3 basses, with two of the basses being five-stringed. This configuration ensures a rich and full pizzicato sound. The intuitive mic mixer facilitates quick adjustments, making it easy to integrate into your workflow.
