ARTURIA – BRASS 2 – USER’S MANUAL

MUTE

The mute is accessible uniquely for the trumpet and the trombone. In the

case where a muted wahwah effect is chosen*, this parameter allows us to

set the intensity of the effect, otherwise said the position of the hand for a

muted wahwah or the position of the mute plunger. When no mute is

activated, or one static mute is chosen, the real time controller is disabled.

* muted wahwah or muted plunger, see “5.1.3 Right Section – Instrument Configuration”,

Mutes.

GRWL

(Growl)

The growl effect is only accessible for the saxophone model. This effect

simulates “growling” into the mouthpiece in order to modulate the

saxophone’s sound with the player’s voice. This effect can be very

expressive even at small amounts.

5.1.1.2 Live display of parameters

The parameters viewed in the central band are representative of the sound and the

control of the instrument.

There are several ways to vary the parameters:

• Control with the mouse on the parameter bar.

• With your sequencer host plug-in automation, clicking on the “A” button and

beginning to draw will activate the control and open the editing window.

• Using assignable MIDI controllers in the configuration section of the instrument

(see “5.1.3 Right Section – Instrument Configuration”, MIDI PRESET).

5.1.1.3 Direct settings with the mouse

At any time, a parameter can be set with the mouse by clicking on the dynamic controller

zone.

5.1.1.4 Real time control

When a parameter is assigned to a MIDI control (see “5.1.3 Right Section – Instrument

configuration” MIDI PRESET), the maximum range of the parameter can be set with two

arrows displayed on each side of the dynamic controller zone. This option is particularly

useful, and permits great flexibility in the real time parameter control.

For example, if the modulation wheel is assigned to vibrato amplitude (via the MIDI

PRESET panel), and if you want the maximum amplitude of the modulation wheel to

match a measured value of the vibrato amplitude, you must set the parameters as

indicated below:
