FAQs
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLARINETS CORE AND PROFESSIONAL?
Core and Pro share many of the same techniques and the sampling depth across many of the common techniques is the same.
Core has a single signal option (Simon Rhodes’ ‘Mix 1) whereas Pro includes additional signal options (16 in total) for microscopic control over your mix.
Professional also contains ‘Extended’ techniques and additional short articulations.
The 'Extended' techniques in the Pro version are the most advanced Woodwinds patches we have ever created, featuring accented Marcato and 'soft swell' attacks for single long notes.
