This is lovely, Tim. Flugelhorn and soprano sax makes for a very interesting combination!
Thank you SO much for including the list of instruments/patches, and I'm delighted you're getting so much mileage out of Unify.
@getdunne Thanks for the feedback. I'm not so adept on the flugelhorn as I am on saxes, the sound is a bit too breathy for my liking. I'm glad you found the list of patches useful, I wasn't sure it was of interest to anyone, so I'll carry on putting that in my posts.

I'd imagine the list of patches will be useful to everyone here on this forum.
Re flugelhorn sounding breathy: I'm not a brass or even wind instrument player, so take this with a big grain of salt, but it sounded to me as though you might be trying to play too quietly for the instrument to speak well. I wonder if you could get better results if you re-recorded the part, playing a bit more robustly, then "soften" it a bit by reducing gain and applying some filtering and maybe a light touch of reverb.
I'm sure others with actual experience could chime in here with better suggestions.
Great work! You might try fattening the flugelhorn by playing with it using a trumpet or flugelhorn sample, or doubling it with tenor sax.
