Each articulation has a keyswitch assigned. However, if you would like to switch articulations within a piece of music, one popular way of doing this is through keyswitching. You can switch between articulations by simply clicking on them using the mouse, as you can see in the video below. When multiple articulations are available, you will see these listed in the library’s interface, either vertically (eg.
Sometimes, a number of articulations are needed to build a simple melody or motif. In orchestral libraries, these different variations are often called articulations. But also: long notes, short notes, accented notes or special, avant-garde effects. These are often different playing techniques that we recorded for a musical instrument: bowed notes, plucked notes, slapped notes, bending notes. Most Instruments hold more than a single type of sound. Note that the exact number and naming of the mic channels can differ per library. Also, by clicking the D, A and W icons underneath the mic faders, the entire mic channel can be unloaded, freeing up a potentially large amount of RAM. W – Wide (way in the back and to the sides).A – Ambient (around the conductor’s spot).In the Symphobia 3: Lumina interface below, 3 mic channels are available: In the background, you are changing the relative volumes of the Kontakt Groups holding each sample set.

The interface gives you full control over each individual mic channels. The corresponding sample sets are then mapped as individual mic channels in the Kontakt Instrument. For example, microphones are placed close to the instruments, around the conductor’s spot as well as the very back of the hall. Since then, the majority of our libraries are recorded in the natural environment of a concert hall using a variety of microphone setups. Microphone channelsīack in 2001, ProjectSAM pioneered the implementation of multiple microphone sets into a sample library. Just installed your first ProjectSAM library? Perhaps your first orchestral sample library altogether? This page introduces you to a selection of the design concepts and controls that are shared between many of our libraries.
