Increase the Range of the Muse Sounds Trombone.

• Dec 17, 2022 - 19:17

The MS tenor trombone is unable to play any note above C5, making an accurate rendition of Bolero impossible; even trying tuning a high C up by 100 cents to achieve the D-flat, the instrument cannot play the note.

Another strange thing to note about this instrument is that it's incredibly quiet even at mezzo-forte, it must be amplified in the mixer by 12dB, and even then, it can barely be heard by the time it gets to the lower notes at the end of its solo.

I noticed these issues as well. I'm writing a few jazz arrangements where the lead trombone gets a bit high, and nothing above that C5 speaks. I posted elsewhere that I hope they release a series of JazzFonts specifically geared away from the usual classical setting. The range of the tenor trombone should be extended, probably from F5 to C2, as the F-attachment is definitely the modern standard, although not included on every instrument.

I'm having a lot of issues with dynamic control across trumpet and trombone, as well. I singled out a few trombone parts during a line marked forte, and got a handful of notes that blasted out at triple-forte randomly, and the rest were a solid piano. Lots of playback issues with this update, but as a trombonist, my instrument being unusable in playback is a bit disconcerting.
