What Ample China Qudi does
The instrument is organized into three articulation groups, Head, Body and FX, and the developer describes endless legato transitions between them. A dynamic legato system varies velocity-based transitions and offers a Double Legato mode, while four velocity layers for Expression and true vibrato and trill samples add detail. Voice-specific SAHDS modulation controls vibrato and dynamics, and an adjustable Wind layer adds breath. Five mic positions are offered in Mono, Modern and Traditional modes, and the built-in effects are an 8-band EQ, a dual compressor, a 6-tap delay and an IR reverb. Creative Mirroring reverses articulations in real time.
