Description
Your idea
Implement a way to enable/disable key clicks of woodwind instruments, they are too loud or undesired in many orchestral contexts
Problem to be solved
Current situation makes key clicks almost always audible, which doesn't sound good or make sense.
Giving us a way to turn them on/off would give Muse Sounds more realism and better results.
Prior art
No response
Additional context
As woodwind players, we're often "trained" to make as less key noise as possible unless asked otherwise, this makes them inaudible in most orchestral contexts (even solo/piano passages), only making sense for small ensembles like a woodwind quintet (unlikely too but possible).
If we assume every instrument has a mic close to it then sure, they'll be audible most of the time, but for anyone wanting a more "natural" sound they're just annoying.
