4.2.1 Moods
Customize each instrument’s sound using Moods, which modify settings like
microphone mix (Diamond only), reverb, and MIDI Compressor parameters. The color of
the user interface will change to match the mood selection.
Classic
An instrument will load in CLASSIC MOOD by default. It’s the sound of the original
Hollywood Orchestra, with settings that are
well suited for a studio orchestra sound.
It features the Main microphone mix, which
includes the decca-tree and outrigger
microphones, providing a well-balanced, unified sound. The reverb featured is a
large hall in Southern California, with a long, 3.4 second decay time.
Soft
Soft Mood modifies the sound for slower, more emotional passages.
Click on the SOFT MOOD to change the settings to lighter touch, providing
definition and depth, with the Mid and
Surround (or Vintage) microphones going
through the large Abravanel Hall.
Epic
Epic Mood gives you a sound perfectly suited for your next Action Adventure score.
Click on the EPIC MOOD to change the settings to a more modern, epic sound.
It delivers a large sound with presence
and detail by pairing the Close, Main, and
Surround (or Vintage) microphones, going
through a large cathedral with a moderately
long decay time of 2.8 seconds.
