What's new

Introducing the Brass Bundle v4: a complete collection of all solo Brass virtual instruments created by Samplemodeling over the years, included in one package at a special price. The bundle contains The Trumpet v4, The Trombone v4 and French Horn & Tuba v4

01

New Instruments

  • including Alto Trombone, Baroque Trumpet, and Wagner Tubas.

02

Unison & Divisi Ensembles

allowing to play in unison or distribute successive notes and chords among individual instruments.

03

Over 100 new snapshots and multis

with carefully optimized settings for instantly achieving a wide variety of expressive sounds and timbres.

04

Enhanced expressive controls

  • built-in convolution reverb, and NKS integration.

Proprietary Technology

Virtual Instruments that set new standards in the field of MIDI orchestration and live performances.

Samplemodeling Brass Bundle v4, like Strings Instruments, exploit Dr. Giorgio Tommasini’s patented “Harmonic Alignment” technique, which ensures for the first time seamless transitions across virtually infinite dynamics, from pianissimo to fortissimo.

The programming moves further away from conventional libraries, by exploiting physically-oriented modulation of the recorded sound: the result is a most expressive, real-time controllable Virtual Instrument preserving the original timbre of a real trumpet.

Our revolutionary “Adaptive Model” approach acts by minimizing the differences from the real instrument, whatever articulation or phrase you play. You can therefore concentrate on creating music, rather than mastering complex sample bank management.

Main Features

Combine the potentialities of multi-vector modeling with the timbral richness of the real sample. 

Total control of sound

+30 different parameters

With an extensive range of adjustable parameters, Samplemodeling Brass Bundle stands out as the most versatile brass package on the market, offering unparalleled control and customization.

Conventional Sample Libraries

Sample libraries typically employ several pre-recorded dynamic layers, utilizing cross-fades and volume matching techniques.

Samplemodeling™ technology:

Samplemodeling proprietary “Harmonic Alignment” technology allows continuous transition across the dynamics without any side effects.

vs

Shaping any articulation in realtime.

No pre-recorded articulations as in conventional libraries.  You’ll be able to recreate virtually infinite types of articulations by the interaction of key velocity, expression controller, pitchwheel and modwheel, plus some additional MIDI CCs for special effects.

  • Sustain, Accented, Crescendo, Diminuendo, Sforzando…

(use ‘dynamics’ parameters to obtain unlimited articulations)

  • Legato notes, Portamenti, Slides, Falls, Doits…

(use velocity to shape the transition between notes)

  • Non vibrato, Vibrato, Shake…

(adjust ‘vibrato’ parameters to modify amount and frequency)

  • Growl, Flutter Tongue, Staccato, Staccatissimo…

(use the continuous parameters to shape sound's behavior)

  • Runs, Trills, Ostinatos…

(the instrument will follow you with its complex algorithms. Just play and have fun!)

  • Wet samples, Dry samples…

(anechoic chamber recordings, set the amount of early reflections and reverb you prefer)

+100 New patches

Discover the new snapshots and multis!

Explore a wide range of timbres and spatial settings with over 100 presets, and bring your brass sections to life with dedicated Unison and Divisi multis.

Divisi Mode

One ensemble. Independent voices.

Switch between unison and divisi using the sustain pedal. Play your brass section together or distribute notes across individual instruments for natural ensemble voicing.

Insights

Control Vibrato without crossfades

Definitely one of Samplemodeling’s strenghts, our vibrato is by far the most manageable existing vibrato, since it does not start from multiple static recordings but from real-time modeling of the sample. You can precisely control its intensity and rate, ranging from a non vibrato to a vigorous three-semitone shake.

Timbral
Shaping

This revolutionary new feature adds a virtually infinite timbral variety to sample-based instruments, by acting on the amplitude of individual harmonics, or groups of harmonics, even in real time. The controlling bars are not assigned to fixed frequencies, but to the first 10 harmonics of the played note.

Anechoic recordings. Why?

To capture the original timbre of the instrument, to avoid “contamination” of the pure trumpet sounds with the uncontrolled resonances of a particular ambience, to facilitate artifact-free “harmonic alignment” processing and to provide clean articulations and phrases as a database to build the “adaptive model”.

Virtual
Soundstage

This feature enables you to shape your instrument's environment as you desire. You can precisely position instruments in a virtual space, utilizing early reflections, pre-delay, convoluted panning, and perceived distance algorithms, even in real-time.

System Requirements

Operating systems

 

PC or Mac: all current operating systems supported by Kontakt 8 or higher are compatible. Older systems supported by Kontakt 7.10.1 or higher are also compatible. See the Native Instruments website for details.

Note: Compatibility with OS and Hosts is only dependent on the Kontakt version in use. This
means, for example, that if a new version of Kontakt works properly on your brand-new operating system, our instruments will perfectly work as well.

 

Supported plugin standards:

macOS (64-bit only): Stand-alone, VST3, AU, AAX, (Kontakt 7: VST)
Windows (64-bit only): Stand-alone, VST3, AAX, (Kontakt 7: VST)

Kontakt Player

To use Brass v.4.0, Kontakt Player – the read-only version of the Native Instruments Kontakt sampler – is required. This free software is installed and managed through Native Access. Kontakt can run in standalone mode or as a plug-in in various formats. All Brass v.4.0 instruments work with Kontakt 7.10.x or higher. Earlier Kontakt versions are not supported.
For further details, please refer to the Installation Guide and to the Kontakt Manual provided by Native Instruments along with the Kontakt software.
