Voicing Types:
- Orchestrationally well-balanced and stylistically-accurate.

- Chorale Voicings - used for hits, stabs, and long pads/backgrounds.



Features:
- SA Samples "Accented Legato" - Not just a generic legato between every note. In conjunction with
our recording process that captures the conditions and the way that players actually perform legato,
our Accented Legato script intelligently inserts the recorded legato transitions in the appropriate
places in real-time while you're playing.

- Our new "Harmonic Automation" + Harmonized Tutti Voicings - For our ensemble patches, we very pleased
to introduce this new concept which understands any chords you play and then allows you to play single-line
melodies and SA Jazz Horns will intelligently play fully harmonized ensemble voicings. Creating a lighting
fast way to create big, stylistically accurate, orchestrationally-sound, tutti horn section lines.

- 2 Microphones with mixer. Mix/blend between a pristine U47 or a beautifully dark vintage RCA U44
