Yeah, I can do that. More detail into rips, bends clusters, bends and general aleatorics. Any more specifics or examples you'd like to see?
Regarding updates, I was initially planning to release them 1 by 1, but decided to do a bigger one instead which will cover all the instruments. If everything continues to go according to plan, it should be live by the end of the week.
First of all, I'm very happy to have bought your library, your support is great, I think it is very rare.
Basically for the articulation/FXs you could listen to some John Williams soundtrack.
Anyway I'd like to see covered pretty every possible "special articulation" like:
- Pitch bends and bends in general (as you already said);
- Rips (up and down);
- Runs (up and down);
- More on double, triple tonguing (you already showed some in the walkthrough);
- Trills (this is an easy one);
- Fortepiano;
- Some repetitions (16th notes maybe, to show how shorts work in a repetition phrase);
- Sforzando;
- There's another one but I don't remember how it's called. It's a sort of explosion, I managed to do it in an old piece of mine by working a lot on an articulation I had (I don't remember the library name, it was a long time ago). The track is this (02:30 and it repeats after a few seconds):
Listen carefully because it is not in the foreground. It's some sort of sforzando, a sort of blow/staccato. I don't know, I'm not a brass player. Let me know if you understand.
If some other thing came to my mind I'll let you know.
Obviously I think I know how to do some of them technically but the goal is how to achieve them realistically.
Another note: I like so much the possibility to switch between velocity or dynamics for the attack, I think I'll use this a lot in a possible strings library. For the brass I'm going all on the dynamics because it happened that while I'm doing a soft passage I pressed to hard the keys and I got a strong attack. I did this also to align the brass with SM brass, I'm using a breath controller.
I have still to do more experiments and maybe I'll go again for the first method.
PS I'm happy to hear that an update will came in a few days.
