The Brass Bundle v3 further expands Samplemodeling™ technologies. Multi-microphone anechoic recording allows to capture the original timbre of the instruments, along with their radiation pattern. Our proprietary “Harmonic Alignment” yields continuous transitions across virtually infinite dynamics. Specially devised “early reflections” impulse responses add a virtual space to the anechoic sound, greatly contributing to realism. New, patent-pending technology allows to vary the perceived size of the ensemble in a continuous manner. The programming moves further away from conventional libraries, by exploiting physically-oriented modulation of the recorded sound. The result is a playable and highly expressive virtual instrument that retains the rich, full sound of real brass. The package includes The Trumpet 3, The Trombone 3 and French Horns & Tuba 3. The Brass engine is structured according to an adaptive model, based on the performance “fingerprints” of the real instruments. The purpose of the model is to minimize the differences between real phrases and those played by the virtual instruments. Proprietary instrument body IRs, innovative techniques for sample modulation and advanced artificial intelligence MIDI processing are used for real-time construction of all articulations and morphing across dynamics, vibrato, legato, portamento, cross-string, portato, trills, tremolo, staccato, pizzicato, col legno, harmonics and so forth. Pseudo-random detuning and pitch & dynamics modulation, based on real performance-derived trends, is another outstanding feature of Samplemodeling Brass, adding further realism.
