#GARRITAN WORLD INSTRUMENTS REVIEW PATCH#
The sustained erhus offer both a regular and tremolo sustain, which is keyswitchable, but it is a bit of a shame that the further staccato and pizzicato patches are not available within the same patch for keyswitching. The lower dynamic range reduces the vibrato to a modest undulation, which can easily rip to a heightened crescendo with a natural release phase, sealing the authenticity of the sample perfectly. With the available dynamic control working alongside the exceptional legato programming, you can achieve highly believable results easily. The switch between the two modes is made via a radio button labelled Overlap.ĭeactivating this invokes mono legato mode, which in this setting offers an extraordinary expressiveness while in play. In essence, the legato function operates in both monophonic and polyphonic modes, with the latter being a considerable time-saver if you’re playing chords. This is also a good place to experiment with the polyphonic legato settings. It’s represented here in two ensemble patch settings, with the second offering a more agitated variant and with greater dynamic range. Though there are obvious sonic connections, each of these instruments benefits from a distinct purity of tone.Ĭase in point, the erhu is a two-stringed bowed instrument played in the upright position. In the bowed ensemble instrumental selection, there are four instruments, arranged from low to higher-pitched registers. The stringed instruments come in three categories: bowed strings, plucked strings and solo strings. The clever technology behind this process allows intelligent polyphonic processing, resulting in a convincing sense of legato from one note to the next when playing chords. Strezov’s recent libraries have featured polyphonic legato, which is also present in Jade. The shorter samples offer multiple round-robins to avoid any obvious sense of repetition, while the longer samples are available in both polyphonic or mono-legato forms. Thankfully, Jade breaks down the instrumentation into groups of bowed and plucked strings, voices, winds and percussion.ĭynamic layering is available in all cases, controlled via the usual modulation wheel assignment (MIDI CC1), which can also be redeployed to a physical fader. Many of us will be familiar with these sounds themselves but may lack a little knowledge when it comes to the instruments’ names.
