ProjectSAM Symphobia

Full Description

Microphone Mixing

Symphobia allows you to mix the two available microphone sets in realtime. This can be done individually, using the vertical mic faders, or together, using the horizontal cross fade slider. This slider smoothly morphs between a close and a stage mix allowing you create your own unique microphone mix.

Switch or Stack

A simple button allows you to choose your prefered method of articulation selection. In Switch mode, articulation selection works as of old: key-switching between one articulation at a time. In Stack mode, multiple articulations can be toggled on or off.

Toggling articulations

To change articulations simply click an articulation name to toggle between activating and deactivating it. This way you can easily combine multiple articulations and perform them together.

Purging Articulations

By default, all articulations are loaded into memory, regardless of whether they are activated or deactivated using the toggles. This way, toggling articulations works instantaneously. To save processing power and memory you can unload articulations.
