| Software Synthesizer/Sampler. Made by Arturia. (MF.701729)
Brass is a new kind of virtual instrument based on a physical modeling technology. It emulates a trumpet, a trombone and a saxophone. All the characteristics of the real instruments have been analyzed and modeled through extensive research at world-renowned IRCAM institute. Arturia has partnered with this highly skilled team of researchers to bring this groundbreaking technology to the musician, in the form of a software instrument. Brass is an extremely expressive, flexible and controllable instrument, and thus a fantastic alternative to loops or music libraries.
What Makes Brass different?
Before Brass's Riff mode was introduced, composers had mainly two options: work with a sampler or select in a loop library. With a sampler, musicians can easily perform the recorded sound of each instrument on their keyboard. Unfortunately, this simplicity often has a price: a certain lack of expression, flexibility and instrument control. Once the performance is captured within the individual sample, it's difficult to modify the performance into something resembling a live player. Also, the research to find the right sample can be long, tiresome, and often does not match the productivity criteria set by the music industry today.
The second method, the loop library, is a database of small, previously recorded musical phrases guaranteeing an expression and interpretation closer to reality. Unfortunately, the downside of the loop is that we cannot modify the content, articulations, tone, or the mood; this strongly limits the musical usefulness of the recorded phrase.
