Plunger Mute

edited December 2008 in General Questions
Hello everybody,



I got the Trumpet yesterday, and started playing around. The overall impression is stunning and surpasses even the very good demos. Especially the mute sounds are very nice. The only thing I want to critisize (except for the hang-note problem in Sonar) is the Plunger mute. I use a Breath Controller for Velocity and the Mod-Wheel for Vibrato. The solution with the Keyswitch enabling the plunger makes it impossible to control Vibrato or trigger some release samples. Plus, the Breath Controller controls now the Plunger and not the velocity of the trumpet, which is a bit confusing, and makes the plunger sound like a cheap Wah-Wah Effect.



Would it be possible to add the Plunger mute to the other mutes via dropdown (or CC since 2.01), and assign the plunger position to a seperate MIDI CC.



I don't understand the advantage of your solution at all, maybe I don't get it, you guys certainly must have been thinking about it, but it would be great to have both options (maybe in a further upgrade).



Greets,

Christoph

  • Hi,



    although nobody "complained" so far about this solution, the idea is certainly not bad - thank you.

    We will think about it working on future updates.



    Best

    I would also really appreciate this. I've spent the last week making myself familiar with the trumpet, a little at a time; it took a while, but I now naturally blow harder when want it louder. Then I switched to wah-wah, and found I couln't stop expecting my breath to control volume.
