Now that's got me curious. One of the trumpets on my Pa1XPro has a 'tail-up' on some notes. This, of course, is long before DNC came along on Korgs and the effect is, as far as I can discern, totally unpredictable in that I'm never sure when a note is going to do that. I've tried to trigger it with different finger attacks, etc., but it's an elusive little bugger. Don't get me wrong, I do like the effect, but I'd like it even more if I could control when it occurs. Would this be similar to the randomness of the Yamaha sax's scoops and slides you describe? Cheers, 124.
With most of the SA2 Saxophones, a slide is available by holding the note, and while it's being held, play another note a 7th, maj7th, or octave higher and you get the slide...it isn't like the portamento type slide you get when you put a voice in mono...it is almost a glissando...a very fast one, and it sounds exceptionally accurate.
The same effect (on SA2 Sax) can be triggered by using Art.2 Button...and, a smaller pitch bend/slide is triggered by Art.1 Button.
These effects aren't random, but under the player's control.
Is that particular 'tail up' trumpet sound (on your PA1XPro) a monophonic voice?

The S900/S910 do not have SA2 voices...just SA1...but they are excellent and very expressive.
Hi Ian,
I spent a bit of time singling out that trumpet, it's labelled Trumpet Pro 2. Quite by accident, because of playing it singly in Sound mode, I noticed the tail-up occurs only on the softest touch of a key. As for being a mono or stereo voice, all I can tell you, after being swamped with details from about twenty five pages of adjustable parameters that can be brought up on the touch screen (Korgs are like that when it comes to detailed editing of any sound), is that this trumpet sound involves three oscillators. Hope that answers your question. I'm no tech-head, so that's the best I can do.
