Real-time Orchestrator
Fable Sounds Broadway Gig gives you a lean-and-mean, ready-to-deploy virtual horn section that includes trumpet, tenor trombone, and tenor and baritone sax. But impressive content is only half the story. Broadway Gig's cutting-edge Real-time Orchestrator (RTO) feature lets you play a complete section on your keyboard, with your notes being distributed in real time to the instruments in the RTO multi based on orchestration patterns you create yourself. Powerful and very easy to use, RTO is amazingly useful for live gigs. You even have articulation presets that can replace built-in key switching with external MIDI triggers such as footswitches, liberating your left hand from key-switching duties so you can play with both hands.
The Unison section
Deploy any of Broadway Gig wind instruments multiple times in an arrangement or multi, and even when playing unison, you'll hear a lifelike multiple-instrument section. Even with multiple instances of the same instrument, you'll get a realistic section of multiple instruments playing in unison! No mere doubling effect, Broadway Gig's Unison section actually uses different samples and makes subtle adjustments to ensure each instance of the instrument sounds slightly different from the others. The results are stunningly realistic. Further, the Unison section has "Humanize" and "Detune" controls for even more control over the sound of your sections.
Velocity Curve control
Due to the extended dynamic range of Broadway Gig's wind instruments, a MIDI keyboard's velocity curve may not be sufficient to keep dynamics under control. To compensate, Fable Sounds added a Velocity Curve knob, which helps adjust the responsiveness of the instruments to various MIDI controllers. You can also MIDI-automate the Velocity Curve control to change settings as needed within a song.
Powerful articulation switching
Broadway Big Gig's powerful, patented articulation switching enables each instrument to load with all of its articulations in a single patch, delivering instant, real-time access to all of the many articulations with just a few easy-to-remember key switches.
Round Robin alternate-sample handling
Another feature that adds to life-like realism to your music is Broadway Big Gig's patented Round Robin implementation for handling alternate samples.
Notation software support
If you work with notation programs, you'll appreciate Broadway Gig's Notation Mode, which lets notation software communicate with Broadway Gig and use it for score playback, complete with all the dynamics and articulations. Notation Mode also integrates with Cubase Expression maps.
