ARTICULATIONS OVERVIEW
For BRASS ENSEMBLE and BRASS SOLO
Each articulation group can be loaded as a dedicated NKI for each section
Sustains
Real-time dynamic layer control for expressive performances, simulated legato, repeater generation for auto-runs and simulated double and triple-tongueing.
Legato
True legato sustains for each section.
Staccatos
Single, double, and triple-tongue staccatos with round robins and automatic repetition features. Up to 8 round-robin variations and pp/ff dynamic layering.
Expressions
Tempo-synching and/or time stretching (for most expressions).
Effects
Aleatoric, stingers, clusters, sweeps, falls, stabs, falls, valves, breaths, and more.

INSTRUMENT DESIGN
PERFORMANCE CONTROLS
Dynamics
Easy, real-time adjustment of loudness and intensity (MIDI CC1).
Attack
Increases the fade-in time per note to simulate realistic variations throughout a passage.
Release
Applies an additional envelope to the fade-out phase of the notes.
Tightness
Determines the starting point for the playback of a sample.
Motion
Adds movement to the sound by modulating note pitch and intensity.

ADDITIONAL CONTROLS
Repetition
Selects the number, rhythm, and accent of automatic attack note repeats.
Legato
Adjusts speed of transition. Select between Solo or Duet and Flip or Slur modes.
Progress indicator
Visualizes how the intensity, volume or pitch evolves over time (Expression articulations only).
Round robin
Indicator visualizes the selection of the alternative samples.
Playback
Adjusts speed of rhythmic articulations.

ARTICULATION SET UP
- Assign up to eight articulations to Key switches or a MIDI CC (both with MIDI learn)
- Key switches can be subdivided by velocity, MIDI CC by value range
- Independent volume controls for each articulation
- Visual representation of all articulations
MIXER AND EFFECTS
Microphone mixes
Independent controls for Stereo, Close, Mid and Far mixes with Volume, Pan, and Routing options
Effects
Independent controls for Stereo, Close, Mid and Far mixes with Volume, Pan, and Routing options
Effects
- Convolution reverb with 100 custom impulse responses
- 3 band EQ, Filter, and Compression
