- Recorded sample quality: 24 bit / 44.1 kHz
- Custom designed, unique GUI
- Aftertouch, Mod Wheel, and Keyswitches are the key features to morph and perform sounds while playing
- Articulations: Falls, Squeezes, Soft attack, Accented attack, Bend

- Reverb, delay and stereo control to fit the instrument in every mix
- Additional effects: Portamento (smooth pitch glide between notes), Chorus (warm stereo width and depth), Phaser (sweeping frequency modulation), Filter (frequency shaping with real-time CC control), and Modulation (LFO-based pitch vibrato with adjustable rate and depth, controllable via MIDI CC)
- Morph Mixer — allows smooth mixing and morphing between up to three instrument layers in real time using a MIDI CC controller. Assign any CC to crossfade between sounds — for example, blend saxophone, trumpet, and trombone into a single evolving voice using the mod wheel
- VG EVI Keys — a built-in keyboard module for trumpet and brass players familiar with traditional valve fingering. Play a MIDI keyboard using the same three-finger valve technique with your right hand, just like on a real trumpet — your left hand handles octave ranges only
- Blend synthesizer and acoustic instrument sounds — load synthesizer and live instrument sounds simultaneously across the three layers to create unusual, unique timbres that go beyond traditional wind instrument territory
- Quick Load Browser — a fast in-app browser for navigating and loading instruments from your sound collection without leaving the performance view. Lets you preview and switch sounds instantly during a session
- Save Session — stores the complete current state of the instrument: loaded sounds, volumes, pans, transposes, and all effect settings. When you relaunch the standalone application, a prompt will offer to restore your last saved session
