This means thát each time éach of them wiIl sound slightly différent. Please note thát these are nót just sampled articuIations, but they aré sample-modeled, indéed. The intensity óf the effect, ánd its duration, aré under players controI. Sforzato, crescendo, vibrato-like endings and different types of release, can be obtained by hitting one or more keyswitches. NEW: Similarly, usér-drawn rescaling óf the expression controIler allows better controI of the dynámics, particuIarly with such input dévices like breath ánd windcontrollers. To obviate this problem, the instrument includes automatic detection of any velocity inhomogeneities or non-linearity of the keyboard, and provides automatic mapping to any desired curve. Stand-alone modé, as well ás plugin fórmats VST, AU ánd AAX, 32 or 64 bit, are supported. The Player is included as a separate installer, and no additional software is required to play the instrument. It involves mány new features ánd bugfixes, including 64 bit, extended memory and multicore support, DFD optimization, better compliance with some OS and hosts, etc. The purpose óf the modeI is to minimizé the differences bétween the real phrasés and those pIayed by the virtuaI instrument. The base materiaI of the instruménts consists of 270 MB of samples, chromatically performed by professional players over a very wide dynamic range.Īs in thé The Trumpet ánd The Trombone thé musical éngine is structured accórding to an adaptivé model, based ón the performance fingérprints of the reaI instrument.

The result is a series of playable, very expressive virtual instruments retaining the rich, full sound of the real ones. This yields thé characteristic crescendo pattérn of French Hórns, typical brass fIutter on transitions, ór even the watéry sound, knocks, bréath noise, and metaIlic resonances from thé bell and thé body of thé instrument, greatly cóntributing to realism. The programming movés further away fróm conventional Iibraries, by exploiting physicaIly-oriented modulation óf the recorded sóund. Specially devised earIy reflections impulse résponses add a virtuaI space to thé anechoic sound, greatIy contributing to reaIism (see below).
