[notes for altosaxx.1bk] Here are two new violins, again based on Manny's models. They respond much better to legato playing. I've done this not by resorting to portamento, which sound quite synthetic to my ears, but by slowing the crossfade speed down in the elements settings-section. This thechique works for all the violins that I've already submitted. Vyolin-1; modulation is routed to vibrato, CS1 to embouchure, CS2 to Throat (harmonics), Mod 2 to growl. VyoLinn1.5; modulation is routed to vibrato, breath control to pressure, damping and amplitude, aftertouch to throat, CS1 to embouchure, Mod 2 to growl. Increase return and feedback gain in the feedback delay for violin-frippertronics. Altosaxx2; based on altosax 2. I got rid of most of the distortion in the original patch and brightened up the sound in the EQ-section for a more LA-type sound. Pitch-bend is routed to embouchure for Websterian playing styles. Redman; Based on Joshua Red by Bill Busch. This soprano sax was also inspired by "Another Day' by Buckshot Lefonque. Sliding into a note with pitch bend sounds very cool and natural. This is one of my favourites. Krikke
