Certainly. It's accurate to note that producing "scratch" or "sul tasto" effects, commonly associated with solo string instruments, is not a typical technique in the context of an orchestra.

In orchestral playing, it's relatively uncommon to create the scratching sound you might associate with soloists. SWAM String Sections does provide a broad range of Bow Pressure settings for an orchestral section. However, it's essential to understand that the focus of orchestral playing is on achieving a balanced and harmonious ensemble sound rather than emphasizing individual special effects.

While you may have the flexibility to adjust Bow Pressure in SWAM String Sections, these settings are primarily designed to enhance the expressiveness and articulation of the section as a whole, rather than to replicate the unique sounds associated with solo playing.

In summary, while you may not achieve the same level of "scratch" effect as in solo instruments, the provided range of Bow Pressure settings allows for versatile expression within the context of a symphonic orchestra. The emphasis here is on capturing the authentic sound and dynamics of a full orchestral section rather than individualistic effects.
