VARIOUS IMPROVEMENTS IN PROGRAMMING AND UI The new velocity curve control feature can also be MIDI automated to make changes within a song as needed.Ī NEW ARTICULATION ADDED TO TENOR SAXOPHONE 1įP+Vibrato, Added both as a temporary articulation and in combination with the existing “Strong Vibrato” articulation, as a new “Deep Vibrato” playing mode. To help overcome this, we’ve added a new knob to control the velocity curve, which helps to adjust the responsiveness of the Broadway Lites instruments to various MIDI keyboards. (full documentation in the user manual).ĭue to the extended dynamic range of the instruments included in Broadway Lites, it is sometimes difficult to keep dynamics under control when using a MIDI keyboard’s velocity. The new Notation Mode uses an alternative system of key-switching that is more in line with the way notation programs operate. This was not previously possible due to the unique articulation switching system in Broadway Lites. The new Notation mode also enables integration with Cubase Expression maps. With version 2.0, “Notation mode” has been added to all of the Broadway Lites instruments, to enable notation programs to communicate with Broadway Lites and use it for playback of scores, including all included articulations and dynamics. The feature also includes “Humanize” and “Detune” knobs for further control over the section sound. The feature is not some kind of a doubling effect, but rather it uses different samples, and performs slight adjustments to make sure each instance of the instrument sounds a little different from the other. This means that even with multiple instances of just one instrument, you can still get a realistic section of multiple instruments playing in unison. It also offers articulation presets which can replace the built-in key-switching with alternative midi triggers such as foot-switches, freeing your left hand for playing notes rather than key-switches.įrom now on, you can use any of the Broadway Lites instruments multiple times in the arrangement or in a multi, even when playing unison, creating a realistic section of multiple instruments. Great for live shows, as well as tracking under tight deadlines. This is an extremely powerful system which is extremely easy to use. Using RTO you can play an entire section on the keyboard, and the notes you play are orchestrated in real time and distributed to the various instruments in the RTO multi, based on orchestration schemes that you can create yourself. A groundbreaking feature enabling polyphonic, polyrhythmic legato across a mixed section of instruments.
