Is it possible to control the speed of this thrill ?
Surely this wasn't your "first piece in anger"!
Second, for fun, here is what it sounds like using trumpet trills while activating the detuning knob. Getting this involves all of two buttons. There aren't just trills (and two types: whole tone and half tone), but different lengths of trills (short, medium, long, and loop). In the brief sample below I believe all are demonstrated except the medium trills). Again, all with detune activated at about 40% strength:
The amount of control and flexibility available is staggering. In short, this is a library that I'll grow into.
Mucusman, this was very interesting. Would you consider doing that same "legato speed test" with some of the other instrument sections or solos?
Here you go.
First is a solo flugelhorn. Four times (same performance each time): 1st time: legato speed dial at 50% (I played it at this setting), 2nd time at fastest (100%), 3rd time at slowest (0%), and the 4th time I manually edited the legato speed (picture below). You can hear, in the slowest example (3rd), that it is too slow for the faster transitions. What I'm learning is how subtle adjustments in this setting alone help in making a performance that much more lifelike and musical.
Final two examples are from the trombones. First are two trombones, the second file is of a solo trombone. The legato settings in each go from (1) slowest, (2) medium, and (3) fastest, to finally a manually edited section using all three speeds, to my taste.
And the solo trombone. Note, this is the exact same MIDI performance; I made no edits in the content from the two trombone file. More of a comparison of tone.
I left all the warts in, to help demonstrate where things can go wrong. All effects and other MSB settings are at their default. No external or additional processing or effects. Effectively, this is out of the box sound. I didn't adjust any of the starting attacks... which would be an additional element towards realism. But this shows me the value to slowly understanding how each of these variables affect the sound.
Hope this is helpful.
I tried using a breath controller with MSB for five minutes because I didn't have enough time, but it worked pretty well. I use breath controller for mostly everything, so for me this is one of the most important aspectI will be getting MSB in the next few days. Huge fan/user of LASS since it came out.
I'm curious if any of the current owners have tried using a breath controller yet? I love using it for all the brass and wind instruments I do. Hoping it's intuitive for MSB.
interesting is someone playing a bunch of patches(many of which aren't even 6 horns) at cc127?
Interesting....
