But Finale integration doesn’t end at setup. Like GPO4, JABB3 has support files for easy integration with Finale’s Setup Wizard, so score creation is easy and automatic. A full listing of all of the instruments available in JABB3 is available here. In addition, JABB3 provides a comprehensive rhythm section with a number of electric and acoustic guitars, upright and electric basses, and drum sets to hold down your rhythm section. While some of these sounds are included with Finale 2011, if you write in these styles and are seeking superior playback, the full JABB3 collection was created for you.įrom 16 unique saxophones to screaming trumpets and alto flutes, JABB3 has instrument samples for standard jazz instrumentation to unique instruments found in progressive jazz arranging. JABB3 contains a wide selection of instruments commonly used in a jazz or big band ensemble (as if the name was a bit vague). While GPO4 is great for orchestral work, it may not entirely meet the needs of someone composing for jazz and rock ensembles: This is where Garritan Jazz and Big Band 3 (JABB3) really shines.

We’d love to hear how these tips have worked for you. The only trick is to make sure you turn off release effects before the next normal passage by setting CC15 to a value between 32 and 0. Trigger kisses by setting CC15 to a value between 127 and 96, doits between 95 and 65, and falloffs between 64 and 33. In your DAW, all you need to do is draw in MIDI data before the end of the note to activate the desired release effect. With Jazz & Big Band 3, all of these trumpet release effects are controlled by MIDI CC15. Here are the ranges for the Jazz and Big Band 3 (JABB3) trumpets and their release effects.įalloffs & doits span from MIDI notes F4 to F6, and kisses are available from MIDI note Bb5 and up. Kisses are the characteristic caps at the end of screaming high notes. Depending on your DAW, you’re as close as a click or two away from producing realistic falloffs, doits, and kisses, all techniques that can take a lifetime for even the most seasoned jazzer to master.įirst, for the curious or uninitiated, we should probably explain just what these release effects are.įalloffs, if you haven’t guessed by the name, are when the pitch of the note falls, accentuating notes within the harmonic series during the descent.ĭoits are just the opposite, a release effect where the note quickly rises in pitch, and the notes in the harmonic series are again noticeably marked. One of the great things about the Garritan Jazz and Big Band 3 library is how easily you can create trumpet release effects.
