Standard Orchestra Notes

• Key switches are assigned to the following notes, with "n" representing where the key switches start
  
  Cn = Sustain (default)
  C#n = Tremolo (only for string section)
  Dn = Normal / General Purpose (mod wheel changes length of note attack)
  D#n = Accent (an accented sustain)
  En = Staccato
  Fn = Pizzicato (only for strings, of course)
  
• NOTE: For the numbering of notes on the keyboard, C4 is defined as middle C.
• There seems to be some confusion about use of the mod wheel. The mod wheel will only have an effect on the attack of the samples (how long it takes for the sound to reach it's volume after a key is pressed) on patches labelled "normal-mod-wheel"

Instruments	Range	Notes

Brass

Articulations : Sustain, Normal-mod-wheel, Accent, Staccato

Instruments	Range	Notes
Trumpet (Solo, Section)	F#3-C6	Key switches start at C2.
French Horn (Solo, Section)	B1-F5	Key switches start at C6
Trombone (Solo, Section)	E2-F5	Key switches start at C6
Bass Trombone (Solo)	Bb0-F5	Key switches start at C6 It may be necessary to transpose your MIDI controller down an octave to reach the lowest notes
Tuba (Solo)	D1-D4	Key switches start at C6
All Brass (Solo, Section)	D1-C6	All Brass cross faded, spread across the keyboard. 2 versions: centered in the stereo field panned to orchestra seating positions
NOTES: - Trumpet, French Horn, Trombone also have dynamic cross faded (-DXF) versions of all of the above articulations, such that the mod wheel can be used to control the volume and blending of low and high velocity layers to enable crescendo, decrescendo during a held note. - Dynamic Cross Faded (-DXF) versions of "Normal Mod Wheel" (called "Normal-DXF"), use cc73 (attack time) to control the attack of the samples, and mod wheel to control the volume and dynamic cross fade.

Vocals

Articulations : Sustain, Normal-mod-wheel

Instruments	Range	Notes
Choir Male	G2-F#4
Choir Female	G4-C6
Choir Mixed	G2-C6	Choir Male & Choir Female
