Details

This instrument includes 62 articulations, covering short, long, and time-based options, all meticulously recorded to provide warmth and expressiveness. The close capture retains the nuanced details of each instrument, while the choice between condenser and ribbon mic flavours allows for either pristine clarity or a warmer, vintage character. The articulations are tempo-synced to your host, enhancing playability.

Each brass instrument can be used as a solo entity, providing flexibility for melody crafting. The Virtuoso articulation feature intelligently selects articulations based on velocity or pitch bend, streamlining the creative process. The ensemble instrument allows for assigning articulations per keyswitch, with the Auto Divisi feature ensuring authentic note distribution across the ensemble, mimicking real brass quintet performance. This makes Valves Pro suitable for a range of scoring contexts, from intimate chamber music to grand orchestral arrangements.
