Another new feature is microtuning, applicable to individual keys even in real time, to better cope with non-tempered scales, so essential in, for example, Middle Eastern or Asian music. Rising bars #3, #4, #5 will increase the intensity of the corresponding harmonics for a more “nasal” sound, etc. So, rising, for example, bar #1 will boost the fundamental frequency (first harmonic) of each note played, yielding a rounder sound. As a consequence, the affected frequencies vary with the pitch of the note. This is not a graphic equalizer the controlling bars are not assigned to fixed frequencies, but to the first 10 harmonics of the played note. This revolutionary new feature adds a virtually infinite timbral variety to sample-based instruments, by acting on the amplitude of individual harmonics, or groups of harmonics, even in real time. This can be carried out within the same Kontakt Player, which provides a high quality convolution reverb.

This virtual soundstage will set you free of adding a further suitable acoustic environment, without incurring multiple-ambience issues. You can modify the ratio direct/reflected sound, and even “displace” the back wall, for a variable depth effect. You can move your instrument back and forth, from side to side, or with a combination of the two, even in realtime, mimicking the natural movements of the player. This new feature allows precise positioning of the instruments in a virtual space located before the listener, using early reflections, pre-delay, convoluted panning and perceived distance algorithms. In the Trumpet 3, a sophisticated algorithm extracts the directional information of multi-microphone anechoic recordings to recover the overall timbre of the instrument along with its radiation pattern, assembling this information into a suitable ER impulse response, which adds a virtual space to the anechoic sound. They convey information about the spatial localizaton of the instrument, and greatly contribute to realism.

The early reflections (ER) are those components of the emitted sound reaching the listener shortly after being reflected from the closest rear and lateral walls, floor and ceiling. The Trumpet 3 includes several exciting features:

The result is a playable, very expressive virtual instrument retaining the rich, full sound of a real trumpet. The programming moves further away from conventional libraries, by exploiting physically-oriented modulation of the recorded sound. Specially devised “early reflections” impulse responses add a virtual space to the anechoic sound, greatly contributing to realism (see below). Our proprietary “Harmonic Alignment” yields continuous transitions across virtually infinite dynamics.

Multi-microphone anechoic recording allows to capture the original timbre of the instrument, along with its radiation pattern. The Trumpet 3.0 KONTAKT TEAM MAGNETRiXX | | 266 MB
