Trombone Demo

[Garritan]

Here is a Trombone demo that will be made part of the Audition. Thanks Francesco for sending us this demo.

This piece shows use of the real-time controls in GPO. Articulations such as staccatos, slurred phrases, and crescendos are played in real-time. Also, this section was built from individual trombones each playing a separate part.

Excellent demo, Francesco! I find it so inspiring - it just makes me want to play with the trombones right now! images/icons/wink.gif

Very nice demo! I\'m on dial-up, so it took me a little while to d/l, but it was worth the wait, should make a great addition to Audition.

Gary, I\'m a real noob. Perhaps you could explain what you mean by \"real time\" controls.

Kindof like a picture without someone going in later and \'airbrushing\' out the imperfections... this is a \'raw\' performance, a raw capture...

If I am wrong, Gary, please correct me...

Good demo. The staccatos are very effective. How many bones did you use? Sounds like 4 of them. Would also be nice to hear some of those characteristic slides.
