Orb Trumpets is a proof-of-concept KONTAKT release that is created entirely out of performances.
Recorded in Orb Studios in Austin, TX - the goal was to create a trumpet patch that took our Adventure-style programming techniques to a more natural-sounding level using samples derived from phrases. It's trickier to program and hone, but the resulting fluidity is compelling.
Like our larger orchestral releases, the Adventure-style programming requires no keyswitching. For quicker notes, you're going to want to play within the 1-100 velocity range. For longer notes, 101-127 provides a slightly broader attack. Switching between the two provides an effective approximation of how brass players tend to shape certain notes within a variety of phrases.
Tuning was lightly done to taste instead of destructively tuning it with software. We retained the natural biases in intonation up the range/dynamics while pulling in the more squirrely notes, resulting in a more natural temperament.
