[. . . ] "Air-Control" (ctrl. 20) A unique feature that just adds breath to the sound. "Growl-Control" (ctrl. 21) Each Sound can be seemlessly blended into the growl effect. "Spit-Control / Topkicks" (ctrl. 22) A hard spit-sound in trumpet & trombone, as well as a special technique on the saxes called "topkicks", can be added to give more attack to the sound. "Keys-Control / Dirty Notes" (ctrl. 23) The sound of sax-keys can be added with this slider. It sounds like changing the microphone position, or can be used for a harder attack. Trumpets, which have no natural key-sound, can be blended into an alternative "dirty-note". "Breath release trigger" (ctrl. 23) What does a hornplayer do, when he finishes a note?That is exactly what you hear, when you raise this parameter and release a key. "Real Vibrato" (ctrl. 24) A real recorded vibrato is available with this slider. Playing Techniques: Up to 44 playing techniques have been programmed for the instruments. Key-switching is used to change playing techniques instantly, without having to load each programm separately. A complete list of the playing techniques for each instrument can be found on the instruments details page. In order not to use 44 keys for key-switching, some keys contain two or three playing-techniques. [. . . ] Use the built-in reverb, or your favorite room simulator to put the instruments into the right place for your mix.
