The Trombone

• The Trombone utilizes a combination of real samples and advanced modeling techniques for realistic sound reproduction.
• It features continuous dynamic transitions from Pianissimo to Fortissimo, enhancing playability and expressiveness.
• The instrument is designed for use with MIDI controllers to manipulate dynamics in real time, though it can also be played with a keyboard.
• Real-time modeled vibrato adds realism, simulating the complex nature of a trombone's vibrato.

Product Overview

The Trombone v3 combines real samples with advanced modeling techniques to create a highly expressive virtual trombone. This instrument captures the nuanced timbral evolution from soft to loud dynamics, allowing for seamless transitions between articulations. Its design prioritizes playability, making it suitable for both traditional orchestral settings and contemporary compositions.

Details

The Trombone v3 features a range of instruments, including tenor and bass trombones, each with a playing range that matches professional standards. The tenor trombone allows for realistic pitch bending through pitch bend controls, while the bass trombone offers a fuller sound due to its larger bore. The library includes multiple articulations such as legato, portamento, trills, and shakes, all designed to mimic the natural performance of a real trombone.

Advanced features include a sophisticated vibrato system that can be controlled in real time, as well as automatic slide emulation for legato notes. The instrument also supports various mutes, each affecting the timbre and volume, with impulse responses captured to enhance realism. The Trombone v3 is intuitive to use, with MIDI controllers mapped to essential functions, allowing for expressive performances without complex programming. The adaptive model minimizes discrepancies between the virtual and real instrument, ensuring a fluid playing experience.
