User Manual

ARTURIA – BRASS 2 – USER’S MANUAL

The instrument preset area also indicates the instrument color codes used in the

interface.

• The right zone displays configuration elements of the current preset, along with

the instrument settings including spatialization and MIDI control.

• At the bottom, a virtual keyboard with the modulation and pitch wheel control

which allows to play or test the sound of the instrument with the mouse. The

keyboard is scrollable.

5.1.1 Center Section - Controlling Parameters in real time

In the center of the user interface there is a visualization of the kit’s instruments, and the

real time parameters that are associated with each instrument.

5.1.1.1 Presentation of the Parameters

Real time parameters of an instrument

ATT

(Attack)

Set the attack force: higher settings provide a faster and stronger attack;

and lower parameter values create a slower and softer attack. We can set

different types of attacks in the instrument configuration window* in order

to adapt the model of different playing styles.

* see “5.1.3 Right Section - Instrument configuration,” Types of attacks.

PRS

(Pressure)

Set the pressure of the air to be entering the instrument. Allow variation of

tone and volume of the instrument at the same time, in the same way a

musician would blow stronger into the instrument.

PTCH

(Pitch)

Vary the notes around the notes played. By default, the “pitch” parameter

is set to value “0” in the middle of its range.

TMBR

(Timbre)

Set the tone of the instrument in order to obtain a variation in the timbre of

the sound.

NOIS

(Noise)

The noise parameter adds some breath noise air into the sound.

VIBR

(Vibrato)

This allows adding vibrato while playing, from null to full amplitude. The

maximal amplitude allows interesting effects.

V.FRQ

(Vibrato

Frequency)

This parameter adjusts the vibrato frequency applied.
