  I don't suppose a production by Hans Zimmer played by an Orchestra would be more appropriate for the movie you have in mind, (but a lot more expensive).

  I am genuflected and inspired by this. Well done and thank you for sharing.

  Thanks so much for the kind words! :-) I'm really loving the SampleModeling instruments. Being able to actually play them like a real wind instrument (TEC breath controller) is incredibly inspiring. Looking forward to more!

  P.S. FWIW, I'm a trombone player from way, way back, and I really love the SM trombones. But one thing that I had to adapt to was NOT using tonguing technique with the TEC controller - it doesn't have a low enough latency. Once I realized that SM is modeling tonguing with keyboard velocity, I started to get a feel for controlling the "broad strokes" with my breath and "tonguing with my fingers". The rest is history. I now feel like I have a really responsive set of instruments at my command. Truly great stuff. Thanks again SampleModeling!

  I am a TEC BBC user as well and I do have a very old Yamaha WX7 wind controller (I never really learned to manage the fingering ). I also found that the TEC baby is a lot slower than the WX7. Same (with the SWAM Flute) can do a Flutter Tong , while the TEC does not reproduce the effect.
  
  
  
  I am going to buy the TEC BBCv2 very soon. ON their Website they say it should be able to handle flutter tong. (Maybe they tweaked that due to my complaining .) Did you try that baby ?
  
  
  
  Another drawback with TEC and Samplemodeling is that both don't support "high resolution Midi" (hence only 128 different values for Breath / Expression instead of 16384 that would be distinguishable with "high resolution"). This fact seems to result in not being able to decently play rather low (lower than "p", resulting in an "expression" value of some 7) range.

  Hi Michael,
  
  
  
  Great info on the new TEC - I'll definitely look into it. If you get a chance to try one, please let us know what you think. Thanks!

  There is a special offer (-10%) on the BBC for SampleModeling users up to end of this month.
  
  
  
  I will take advantage of that.
