    Ensemble Patches:
    Utilizing our "Harmonic Automation" technology, the ensemble patches create full ensemble harmonized
    chords/lines by only playing single-line melodies. Contains all the same articulations from the solo
    instruments.

    Ensemble Types
    - Full Tutti Big Band - all 13 players
    - 8 Brass - 4 Tpts & 4 Tbns
    - Sax Soli - 5 saxes

    Voicing Types:
    - Orchestrationally well-balanced and stylistically-accurate.
    - Thickened Line Voicings - used for playing melodic passages. Close and "Drop 2" voicings available.
    - 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

    Available: Late May 2015
