Newbie question !

Hi all,



I just bought The Trumpet and The Trombone. I first would like to say I'm really amazed by how expressive those instruments can be when controlled by an EWI (USB). Simply put, they are the most versatile and convincing virtual brass I have ever used :)



But I still have to master the beast... and the EWI itself.



So here my question. As an oboe player, I'm used to play vibrato by directly modulating the air pressure with my breath. When playing The Trumpet and The Trombone with an EWI, does that technique produce the same sound as using the VST's own vibrato parameter ?

    mikhail,



    thank you for your appreciating words.

    The "anatomy" of the vibrato obtained by varying the intensity is similar to that one controlled by the ModWheel (CC1). However, the depth of the pitch modulation is actually not sufficient, so some additional pitch vibrato should be played. Skillful Wind Controller experts can certainly explain how to do it :-)



    Enjoy your EWI!

    as a not very skillfull EWI (4000s) player I find that breath variation is the best way for vibrato. It comes naturally and sounds quite realistic. The only disadvantage is that long vibratos aren't easy (for me they're impossible, and I simply play short vibratos only). Sometimes the bend plates can be used, and of course the mouthpiece (which I never use for vibrato).



    I also say: enjoy your EWI. A perfect controller for Samplemodeling instruments.
