The trumpet sample modeling
#The trumpet sample modeling full
So if you have your expression pedal all the way forward and just hit a note on your keyboard, the sound is full 'ff' and very bright and piercing, with no dynamics. The next confusing thing, and maybe the most confusing thing initially, is that amplitude of the Trumpet is controlled by CC11 from your expression pedal, NOT via velocity on your MIDI keyboard. I had to make sure MIDI in and out was enabled in K2 Player, that audio in and out was routed properly, and then I had to press down on the expression pedal connected to my MIDI keyboard controller. The first thing I was presented with was a GUI with a 'Warning, no CC11 received. I think this is a bug, I have to contact Sample Modeling about it.Īll that said, when I finally got 'The Trumpet' launched within Kontakt 2 Player Standalone, Also, I have Kontakt 2.2.41, not Kontakt 3, and my version of Kontakt will not load any instances of the Trumpet, which it identifies as Kontakt 3 instruments (even though there is a separate 'Kontakt 3' instrument folder). I had to launch Kontakt 2 Player in standalone mode. For some weird reason, after installation I launched V-Stack on my PC, and selected 'Kontakt 2 player', but I couldn't access 'The Trumpet' from there. A word of caution, the Kontakt 2 player that the installer places on your drive is the one that the Trumpet is associated with. The actual Kontakt 2 player should be installed to your 'Native Instruments' folder. On your 'C' drive you need to create a folder called 'Sample Modeling', or 'The Trumpet' or something easy to identify, this is where the documentation will go. As with most sample-based VI's, it's a good idea to put the sample folder on a different dedicated drive, in other words, not your 'C' drive if you are on a PC. It needs to go into its own folders (which you need to create first BEFORE you run the installer). The installer asks you where you want to put the sample data, which is around 308 MB. Once you get used to using pedals and controllers to 'play' The Trumpet, the beauty of this product becomes apparent. That's because 'the Trumpet' really relies on expression and controller data to work. I'll say up-front that when I first launched 'The Trumpet', after installation, I hit a note on my keyboard and was immediately inclined to dismiss it as a bad product. Like the Garritan products, 'The Trumpet' is a product designed for keyboard players with a fair degree of keyboard skills and a knowledge of brass behaviors. 'The Trumpet' is the first of a line of new products from Sample Modeling, a company founded by programmer/musicians who were involved with Garritan, and specifically, the Stradivari Violin and Gofriller Cello, two Garritan products that have been discontinued. They fit any style of music, from classical to pop to funk and jazz Yes, they're varied enough, you get completely different instruments - three Bb trumpets, piccolo trumpet, German trumpet, and cornet. The samples are multi-sampled and looped. Format is Kontakt 2 Player, standalone, or you can load it in Kontakt 3.
