  • Aparnell, it seems that you have a problem with your EWI indeed. Phrasing or dynamic shaping have no influence on the note length. The rule is simple: Regardless what did you play before - after each note-on (also in a legato-series), each no…
  • Dear Friends, yes, The Trumpet uses the unified sample length of 10 seconds. Let us refer first to the maximum playable length in the "real world": more then 10 seconds? Of course - if the intensity (dynamics) is not too high! :-) Or can somebo…
  • Hi! When programming The Trumpet, we decided that the range and position of the Keyswitches (KS) should remain untouched even if one transposes the instrument. The purpose of each keyswitch, and their combinations, is precisely described in …
  • Hi RJ, the .tga file is, indeed, the "wallpaper" of the instrument - it´s the GUI background. It is encoded (as far as The Sax Brothers are concerned) in the file The Sax Brothers_info.nkx This file should be (and certainly is) placed…
  • pgill, this is completely normal (and true :-)). Setting the sampling frequency to 88,2 kHz doubles the speed with which the buffer is read. To read 256 samples using SR 44100 Hz takes 256/44100 seconds (= 5,8 ms). If you read the same buffer u…
  • audioscapist, in case you still have problems with controlling the mutes via CC100 - the problem has been fixed longer time ago in The Trumpet version 2.52. Please check on regular basis for updates opening the Service Center (the utility pro…
  • pgill, I think we have a remedy: please higher the maximum number of voices from 32 to 36 (see "Max" on the left upper part of the instrument GUI). Please report if it helped. Thank you! Best Peter
  • MassMover, the best and quickest contact to us (samplemodeling) is via our contact page... :-) Sorry I do not have any good news for you... The use of Kontakt 4 is not a result of some more complex scripting within our instruments, or our own…
  • Hi dannthr, this is clearly a case for the technical support which, as you know, is provided by Native Instruments. Without knowing anything detailed about your system I can only recommend the Kontakt engine reset by clicking on the "!" icon. I…
  • Hi, actually, this is something for Native Instruments technical support... I am pretty sure that you are using an older Trumpet version. Which is it? Please note that only the latest version - 2.52 - is working optimally with Kontakt 4. If…
  • Hi James, we use the most common mutes (as we did with The Trumpet): Cup, Straight, Harmon, Harmon + stem, Plunger and Bucket. As far as the release is concerned - the tenor trombone is ready, but we are still working hard on the bass trombon…
  • Hi Pete, I will refer the ranges to the Yamaha standard which we are using, which is C3 for the middle C (the 60th note in the MIDI standard). Our tenor trombones will play from E1 to as high as F4 (playable only by top professionals). There …
  • Hi James, Will there be a solo tone mute with the trombone? Do you mean generally the availability of the muted sound? Yes, you can load the mutes in the same way as in our Trumpet. Of course the wah-wah sound is also available. …
  • SyrinxGC, thank you very much for the interesting insights :-) Just to get an idea of when to expect something new - is samplemodeling.com a fulltime job for you guys? More than that... Each instrument requires extremely complex …
  • SyrinxGC, I am very happy you can successfully use our instruments live. I understand your point... But, whereas 30 sec. on EWI is not a problem, I´m afraid 30 sec. on a real trumpet is not an easy task - especially above pp... EWI has definite…
  • SyrinxGC, no, you did not do anything wrong. Our aim was to create a virtual instrument which is as close to the original as possible. But in one point we allowed ourselves an exception: we did not limit the tone length to just a few seconds,…
  • Hi Dan, please note that CC1 controls the vibrato intensity, not sensitivity. This means: - a wind controller player can use the default vibrato (generated by the instrument), controlled by CC1 (vibrato intensity) and CC19 (vibrato rate), or…
  • is the vibrato in the first clip done on the ewi or is it in the samples? In the samples. This answer could be somehow misleading. Our instruments do not use pre-recorded "fixed" vibrato samples, they rather create vibrato by modulating …
  • Dear Zed, to use the convolution reverb on the instrument level - using its inserts - would need one convolver per instrument. This would lead to a much higher CPU load. It´s much better to open one convolution unit in the return channel and us…
  • Hi zed, did you have a look into the User´s Guides of the latest versions?.. These are: The Trumpet 2.51 and the saxophones 1.51. If not - please go to the Service Center and download the necessary ZIP files. Doing so you will get the updated…
  • Hi Kevin, OK, this is a different story. This happened to another customer already. The reason for that kind of problem is a wrong file structure of the library or a wrong library path, so that the application cannot find the right Impulse Resp…
  • Hi Kevin, what happens if you turn the virtual CC100 knob on the instrument GUI ("Controllers 3") using the mouse? Or switch using the Mute menu? I guess it works fine... On some systems the incoming CC100 is not recognized. This bug will be …
  • Hi Tillenburg, I can ensure you that you did a very good beginning! :-) Now, please note the importance of some additional modulation of the notes of a longer duration - like, say, quarternotes and more. I have the impression that these notes…
  • Dear Friends, we would like to inform you that our webmaster finally found and fixed the bug (which, BTW, was well hidden in a third-party application inside the system software). Now it´s possible to download (or listen) to attachments bigger …
  • Tillenburg, we are very sorry for the delay, but we are still waiting for the feedback of our webmaster; he tries to find out the reason for this problem (the uploads of other users are working...). We hope to know it soon. Best Pet…
  • Hi Pete, actually, the best address to ask is Muse Research - the developer of Receptor. We can confirm that The Trumpet v 2.51 has been succesfully tested on their hardware. What we do not know yet are the saxophones - but here we do not expec…
  • Hi Perry, thank you... Yes, we are working on trombones. A very complex task since, as you know, trombone is nearly the only instrument with a slider... Anyway, we promise that the result won´t be worse than the trumpet! :-) Peter
  • modigliano, your problem is a typical case for the customer support of Native Instruments: http://www.nativeinstruments.com/support.html It´s Native Instruments which is providing technical support for our product. Please note that …
  • webbiedave, sorry about the late response... You mean the BC mode, don´t you? If so, no CC11, but CC2 must be applied (which is generated by a Breath Controller anyway). The behavior of the software is a bit complex, but basically the follo…
  • maybe i was wrong but the manual for the trumpet states that you only get a sound when you breathe into your breath controller. No, you were not wrong :-) As far as The Trumpet is concerned it´s exactly lika that (the saxophones behave differ…
