• 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

• 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

1. Build and balance woodwind runs
2. Create a new virtual player (Timbre Adjust and dedicated humanization tuning curve)
