Much of this is done automatically, but not all. It handles sample switching for pizzicato, tremolo, mutes (which are only included with the full GPO), percussion hand alternation, and harp harmonics. It handles sample adjustment for dynamics (including attack, volume, and timbre), and legato (including slurs and trills). I'm not sure what things I might be missing, especially in regards to the full GPO. I also don't know what's planned for GPO Advanced and the Jazz Band edition. Robert is I believe getting started on those now. 2. There are some parameters you can adjust or disable in HP. For others you may want to use the Apply HP plug-in and then make your own modifications afterwards, either in addition or as an alternative. 3. Yes. The documentation lists all of the controllers for the various instruments and what they do. Tyler __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
