Details

Sampling focuses on core playing techniques and ornaments—legato phrasing where appropriate, measured shorts, trills and idiomatic bends—so melodic writing feels natural. Close capture retains articulation detail, with optional space to broaden the presentation when layering with orchestra.

Mappings keep the most common articulations on predictable keyswitches, and performance controls expose vibrato, dynamics and subtle humanization. The result is a playable instrument that delivers authentic color while remaining easy to place in modern mixes.
