But for samples, wouldn't you want a completely different sound?
WHile they can play the same repertory, they amount of section
doubling is drastically different between the two ensembles.
Or so I've always thought.
That's a good point. I suppose I think to much in live terms. Of
course doubling could be accomplished by hidden, duplicate staves.
Surely not. Using the same patch for multiple staves does not sound
anything like a the same number of actual players, each of which has
an individual sound.
I guess a well-designed chorus controller would give some variety
here, which is what chorus was designed for to begin with, but I'm
not sure if it would be enough to capture the difference very well.
This ties in nicely with the other thread about sequencers and Finale.
One sequencer capability which would be nice in Finale for just such
occasions would be the ability to have one staff, one sound, duplicated
to different tracks with each one time-shifted a few milliseconds and
the multiple tracks detuned randomly (so that one track wouldn't always
be sharper or flatter) a very minute amount, to get a real section sound
with a single sample and a single staff.
