Craig, I agree with Darcy. The feature works well. What I haven’t been able to get to work in 2014 are the brass mute changes, and fp gets strange playback results. I have learned to live with these playback limitations and hope they get fixed in the next version. ( Maybe there’s a way to mess with HP settings to get the mutes to work in 2014. but it used to work without any special dithering in 2012.)
