Description
Describe the bug
Bb/A clarinet seems to have lots of issues on specific notes (I'll talk about written pitches to make it simple):
- Attack feels slow overall - p and lower
Attacked F5 has a key click that shouldn't be there - p and lowerFIXED- G5 and A#5 have a low pitched sound (like a student learning how to play those notes or not pressing the 12th key correctly) - mf and lower
- A#5 sounds really different from surrounding notes -
f and upSeems to happen at every dynamic now D#6 sounds like player is trying to do a scoop - mf and upSeems to be fixedE6 is the highest noteD7 now, fixed- Something around D#5 and F5 is weird, like there's samples overlapping sometimes - p and lower
Attacked(now it happens with slurs too) F#3 and F#4 sound terrible, (almost like a squeak?) - mp and up (now it's specially bad with F#3)- E3 kinda sounds like 2 samples playing at the same time but not later in the score - p and lower
- There's no low E for A clarinet (known too but 😢)
- Notes from (including) D5 to A5 feel extremely thin and quiet - mp
- Excessive key noises everywhere but specially with slurred notes over the break (Bb4-B4 and C6-C#6)
- Notes over the break sound pretty bad when slurred, with the start of the second note often being delayed
- Many slurred intervals are out of tune (I might open a separate issue for those)
- F3 and E3 have excessive air sound when being slurred down - mp and up
