NKI files loaded of individual articulations from above. Individual Articulations - In this list you'll find. The core techniques expand the all-in-one articulations for more common techniques, the decorative techniques are the less common but still 'normal' articulations, and the FX patches include unique things like gliss semitone, trill minor second, runs, and much more.
