Vita Solo Instruments

Vita Solo Instruments are sample players that have an interface specifically tailored to the corresponding instrument.

The basic controls are identical for all these Vita Solo Instruments.

One click on the arrow symbol opens a drop-out menu where you can determine the general sound of the instrument. If "ECO" appears in the description, this refers to especially performance-improving settings which may not sound so "smooth". You can also save the settings you changed in order to add them to your favorites lists for later use.

This controls the general volume of the instrument.

You can turn the instrument keyboard on or off with this switch.

Because these samplers are enhanced for each instrument by tuned effects, the rest of controls function analogously to the already familiar synthesizers such as Vita.

Articulation

Some Vita Solo Instruments have a special feature: In the bass octave (on the keyboard (C0-B0), there are special notes, which let you control the playing style (articulation). An alternative sample set is loaded, which lets the sound even more realistic using various playing styles natural to the instrument, for example note bending and flageolet on the guitar or staccato on the saxophone.

Articulation is switched on and continues until normal articulation is switched on again through the corresponding note (C0).

In the keyboard of the instrument surface, the keys for switching the articulation are displayed in a different color. In the MIDI Editor here, you can see a practical application of articulation. The notes from 1:4 are played with a different articulation. Before the last note at 2:2, C1 returns to normal articulation.
