KEY FEATURES
- Beautifully warm and rich Bb trumpet performed by a seasoned professional jazz player.
- The New Standard method of sampling. Over 2,000 samples per note for a level of detail and realism never before possible. Goes beyond simple round-robins and legato transitions to a truly unprecedented number of note variations.
- 2 microphone positions (close and room), with custom bleed convolution reverb.
- “Smart Delay” feature which analyzes dozens of details about the played phrase and intelligently selects the appropriate samples. Works in tandem with our New Standard sampling method, to eliminate the need for auditioning countless keyswitches just to create a realistic melodic phrase. Learn more about our Smart Delay technology here.
- “Real Acoustic Mute Sampling” (RAMS) technology for adding numerous trumpet mutes to the sound.
- “Reconstructed Vibrato” the recreates the timbral embouchure characteristics of a real player’s vibrato.
