playing styles of an instrument while playing. These phrases can be found in the
Construction Sets folder. They work best with the corresponding instrument layers.
Phrase Playback Types

Sonic’s instrument layers. These phrases use key switches to switch between
different playing styles to increase the realism of your performance.
