In the Ornaments/Tremolos tab of the Human Playback Preferences dialog box, there is an option, Use Pitch Bend Variations for Jazz Shakes Instead of Played Notes, to interpret a horizontal wavy line - either the Smart Shape or the articulation - as a pitch bend trill, which more accurately resembles a jazz shake.Įven with this feature enabled, the Smart Shape trill tool will continue to trigger regular (keyed) trills. In most jazz scores, a wavy line or trill indication above a note in a brass instrument's part indicates a rapid lip trill, called a shake. Human Playback automatically takes advantage of this controller to create authentic growls or flutter tonguing whenever a tremolo articulation ( ) is attached to a note. JABB wind instruments (but not the "Lite" wind instruments) use MIDI controller #18 to create a growl or flutter tongue effect. Fall-offs are triggered by downward note-attached gliss or tab slides, as well as the and articulations found in the Jazz font articulation library doits are triggered by upward note-attached gliss or tab slides, as well as the and articulations found in the Jazz font articulation library. The length and speed of the fall-off or doit is fixed and is unaffected by the shape of the articulation or Smart Shape. These are automatically triggered by Human Playback when certain articulations or Smart Shapes are attached to a trumpet note, positioned to the right of the notehead, and followed by a rest. The JABB trumpets (but not the "Lite" trumpets) include sampled release effects, like fall-offs and doits (i.e., upwards fall-offs). JABB does not include release effects for trumpet notes below that range. Noteman says: Doits and fall-offs can only be triggered by trumpet notes sounding the F above middle C or higher. These expressions can even be contained inside JazzText enclosures - Human Playback ignores the enclosure characters and looks for the word. When you load a "KS" trumpet or trombone, Human Playback automatically interprets expressions like "bucket," "cup," "harmon," and "mute out," without any additional effort required. Brass mutesĪll of the JABB trumpets and trombones (including the "Lite" instruments) include keyswitched versions that allow you to easily switch between a variety of commonly-used jazz mutes and open playing. For the most part, using JABB instruments is no different from using other Garritan instruments, but there are some features unique to JABB that are explained in this tutorial. Human Playback also takes advantage of the features offered by Garritan Jazz and Big Band. The techniques you’ve learned so far can be applied to files using either Garritan Instruments for Finale or Garritan Personal Orchestra.
