The purpose of the model is to minimize the differences between the real phrases and those played by the virtual instrument. As in the "The Trumpet" and "The Trombone" the musical engine is structured according to an adaptive model, based on the performance "fingerprints" of the real instrument. All samples are unlooped, and have a duration of 9 sec. The base material of the instruments consists of 270 MB of samples, chromatically performed by professional players over a very wide dynamic range. The package includes four different French Horns and a Tuba. The result is a series of playable, very expressive virtual instruments retaining the rich, full sound of the real ones. This yields the characteristic crescendo pattern of French Horns, typical brass flutter on transitions, or even the "watery" sound, knocks, breath noise, and metallic resonances from the bell and the body of the instrument, greatly contributing to realism. 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. French Horn & Tuba 3 further expands Samplemodeling™ technologies.
