Quality of instruments in Sound Center

[Rick Derer]

The pan flute notes in CSC end abruptly, so they sound electronic, not human.

Is this a matter of 'you get what you pay for'?

Are there other instruments out there that are more realistic?

Most of the instruments you can also find in the Cakewalk TTS synth. A lot of them are a lot more convincing but I normally end up tweeking just about everything . As far as notes cutting off abruptly you can usually fix most of that in your midi controller settings. If you are mouse clicking in piano roll view , adding a reverb to the Synth with a long pre delay helps with the abrupt cut offs.  There are also a lot of free stuff you can find in the "free instruments" thread if need something different.     mark

Reverb just tends to mud the sound if applied too liberally. If you can find the ADSR settings, you can increase the release time.
