High Woodwinds
Trumpets
Low Brass
When starting from the "original" OrchestrationRecipe midi file the combined brass instruments need to be split
- Trumpets: 3 Instruments, in the first phrase the top notes are played by Trumpet 1 & Trumpet 2
- Low Brass: The Lower octave has to be doubled and is played back by Tuba and Bass Trombone
- Piccolo flute, Flute 1, Oboe 1, Clarinet 1 / VelXF sus / Wide
- Legato (All notes of the run, except last one)
- Staccato
- Pronounced last note with natural decay
- All notes except Oboe, which stays on Legato (better blending)
- Expression (CC11) and Vel.XF (CC01) at maximum
- Automated Timbre Adjust (CC8) from ~80% to 100% - clarinet only from ~60% to ~80% (otherwise it would be too prominent)
- Humanize Delay Scale (CC25): Different values around 43
- Trumpet 1 / VelXF sus / Wide (For Track Trumpet 1)
- Trumpet 2 / VelXF sus / Wide (For Track Trumpet 2)
- Trumpet 1 / VelXF sus / Wide (For Track Trumpet 3)
- Staccato
- Portato agile (Last note of the first 3 phrases)
- Only Velocity (See picture above)
- Add random variations (very high levels)
- Add accents on the last notes of every phrase
- Increase from high velocity to maximum velocity
- Expression (CC11) to increase dynamic range (Crescendo from beginning on ~80% to end with 100%)
- Timbre Adjust (CC8) (to tame high frequencies)
- Trumpet 2: Value 80
- Trumpet 3: Value 68
- Trumpet 1: Add curve as in the picture below (values 71 and 90
- Humanize Delay Scale between 37 and 47
- Add dedicated Humanization tuning curves in "EDIT" tab

- Trumpet 2: In tune random v2
- Trumpet 2: In tune random v3
- Tenor Trombone / VelXF sus / Classic (Clear positioning left of Tuba)
- Bass Trombone / VelXF sus / Wide (as all other instruments)
- Bass Tuba / VelXF sus / Ambience (More reverb for low instrument)
- Sforzatissimo for the 3 longer notes (beginning of bars 1, 2, 4)
- Staccato for all short notes
- Vel.XF (CC01) to maximum
- Minor random variation of velocity for the staccato notes (on very high values)
- Timbre Adjust (CC08)
- Add note decay on sforzatissimo patches
- Slightly reduce for staccato patches
