Hephaestus Live! Technology. If you know us well, then you also know that our watchword is "realism." For this occasion, we chose a professional musician active in the most famous orchestras in the world, allowing us to capture every single nuance of her instruments. However, it can be very difficult to recreate every single articulation that these instruments touch during a real performance. For this reason, Hephaestus has studied an algorithm capable of automatically managing every single sample according to the way you are playing on the keyboard. As some of you have rightly said, "the instrument seems to follow the player's intentions": dear friends, in one sentence you have described Hephaestus' Live! Technology. We are very pleased to have achieved this result.
MIDI file friendly? For this instrument, Live! Technology manages legato, staccato, key clicks, breath noises, poly-legato and releases, taking your standard MIDI files to another level with total compatibility, without broken notes, artifacts or fake attacks.
