Recorded at Orb Studios in Austin, Texas, our goal was to create a responsive, flexible instrument that could handle a variety of exciting orchestral contexts without having to switch keys.

The Workhorse patch is versatile, played with confident mezzo forte dynamics. Fat Lead is full-throttle oboe playing – great when you need bite, attitude, and soaring melodies. Emotional offers a lyrical mezzo piano performance, and Delicate showcases a very soft, airy side to the instrument.

We also recorded breaths followed by pre-attack air/reed noises – these really help convey the performance when used before or in between phrases.
With the Workhorse and Fat Lead patches, velocities 1-30 provide a softer attack, 31-114 triggers a more aggressive attack (with circular repeats), and 115-127 provides immediate vibrato after the attack.

In Emotional and Delicate, playing legato at velocities 1-89 enables natural, progressive vibrato performances, while velocities 90-127 produce faster vibrato entry, allowing you to refine your vibrato phrasing on the fly.

The Breaths patch is a collection of breaths extracted from the entire session. Integrating breaths before or between phrases can enhance your compositions, imbuing them with a sense of presence and authenticity.
