  • Phrases vs Single Notes

    Hi everyone,

    Firstly congratulations on what looks and sounds like will be an outstanding product.

    But I have a few questions:

    Is the library based around phrases or single notes multisamples or both?

    Some of the demos (despite sounding great!) sound like:

    chromatic run + whole tone gliss + marcato repeated note (etc)
    = compostion / orchestration

    Or are the instruments (for example in giga) being played using legato velocity switching eg?

    Most composers *seem* to want the best quality and expressive samples for single note playing with various articulations and instead of using a whole tone major scale, for example, they like to have the flexibilty of doing it themselves and including a few accidentals. Is the library designed for this?

    This is certainly not a criticism, just a question!

    Best of luck with the final editing (rather you than me!)

    Cheers

  • Hi Richard!

    Our database offers single note samples, of course. We have extended what is generally called "phrases" to a performance system, that allows access to every played note of the performance. We are about to introduce our performance sytem soon on this webpage.

    Best regards, Paul
