Product Overview
Valves Pro is a cinematic brass instrument focused on expressive ensemble writing and evolving textures. Built with e‑instruments, it adds chromatic sampling, polyphonic legato, and detailed tonguing to shape lifelike passages that move fluidly between sustained pads and articulated lines.
Details
The engine provides Auto Divisi to distribute notes across the section, while re‑tongue effects and transition sampling maintain realism in repeated figures. Two microphone flavors—condenser for detailed, breathier presence and ribbon for round, mellow tone—can be selected or blended. Musicians performed simultaneously under a conductor, but in isolation booths for clean control during mixing. The result is a flexible chamber‑to‑ensemble brass tool that covers pads, swells, and lyrical writing without sacrificing playability.
