A comprehensive collection

What's included

The Trumpet package includes several instruments belonging to the same family, namely three different B♭trumpets, a Flügelhorn, a German Trumpet, a Cornet and a Piccolo Trumpet. You will also find a ready-to-use Unison Ensemble Multi, including three B♭ Trumpets suitable for unison playing from a single MIDI source . Each instrument includes several mutes, namely: Harmon (with or without stem), Straight, Cup, Bucket & Wah-wah.

Go to the specifics

Three B♭ Trumpets

Along with the main, solo B trumpet (“Main Trumpet”) you will find 2 other ones – named “Trumpet 2” and “Trumpet 3”, sounding slightly different.

Flügelhorn

Similar to the trumpet, but with a wider, conical bore, the Flügelhorn provides a darker and much softer tone.

German Trumpet

This more “massive” type of trumpet uses rotary valves and sounds less “bright” than the jazz trumpet.

Cornet

Similar to the trumpet, but more compact in shape. It sounds a bit warmer and mellow.

Piccolo Trumpet

Also known as “Bach trumpet”, it represents the smallest instrument of the trumpet family. Piccolo Trumpet sounds “smaller” and brighter than the B trumpet.

Unison Ensemble Multi

A ready-to-use Unison Ensemble Multi, including three B♭ Trumpets with Ensemble Maker, suitable for unison playing from a single MIDI source.

Proprietary Technology

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

The Trumpet v3, like all Samplemodeling 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

+25 different parameters

The Trumpet v3 allows you to control every aspect of the sound, from breath modulation to type of attack, timbre, vibrato intensity and rate, growl, flutter-tongue etc…

Virtually infinite dynamics

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.

(use ‘dynamics’ parameters to obtain unlimited articulations)

(use velocity to shape the transition between notes)

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

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

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

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

+20 Keyswitches for advanced control

For complex articulations that may be difficult to play in real-time for the average user, the extended set of key-switches can be useful. One may choose to perform doits, chromatic falls… or a continuous portamento over two octaves by simply overlapping two notes, to split it manually playing intermediate legato notes, or to split it automatically, generating any type of scales… the possibilities are endless.

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: Windows 10 or later.
Mac: Intel or Apple Silicon, macOS 11 or later.

Storage/Ram:

Samplemodeling instruments have low RAM and storage requirements thanks to their innovative algorithmic modeling, which generates realistic sounds without storing extensive audio data. This reduces system load, enabling a smooth and efficient music-making experience.

The base material of the Trumpet consists of 278 MB of samples.

CPU:
The Trumpet v3 provides unprecedented realism and expressiveness but requires an up-to-date CPU. A modern PC or Mac with at least 1.6 GHz is required.

Software:
Kontakt Player (free) is required to run The Trombone v3
Although some of the instruments may run on older versions, we strongly recommend using the latest version of Kontakt (7 and above).
