Changes and improvements in this update
- Some improvements in the default mappings of percussion patches.
- Tenuto patches no longer sound short; instead, the tenuto attack then crossfades with the regular sustained sound; using tenuto and staccato together will still provide a short note, however.
- The default smart knob settings for the Mariachi Trumpet have been improved.
- The velocity curve of the Oboe 1 patch has been improved so that it no longer sounds louder than other wind instruments when playing quietly.
- Adjustments to the ranges of several patches, including strings, brass, Recorder 2 Alto Tenuto, Jazz Flute Vibrato, Harp Harmonics, Jazz Tenor Sax, Jazz Alto Sax Doit, Bassoon 1, Flute 1 Wholetone Trill, Tuba (to cover Tenor Horn and Baritone Horn ranges), Recorder (to cover Tenor, Bass, Great Bass and Contrabass Recorders).
- The velocity curves of the Staccato and Marcato string patches have been balanced.
- When played together, the jazz brass sounds no longer phase so noticeably.
- Some improvements to the tuning of notes in the Marching Mellophone patch.
- A low rumbling sound that could be heard when playing the vocal sounds during MIDI input has been eliminated.
- New Contrabass Clarinet patch, created by extending the range of the existing Bass Clarinet patch.
- Increased the volume of the Triangle patch.
- Improved the volume response of the voice patches.
- Improved the velocity response of the staccato sounds for solo violins and solo trumpets.
- Balanced the staccato sounds for the Marching Euphoniums, Bass Tumpet, Trumpet, Clarinet 1, Oboe 1, and Piccolo patches.
