7 MODES OF OPERATION
7.1 Stand-alone
The standalone application allows the use of BRASS 2 outside of any host application.
You can open one or several instruments, and play directly with the help of a master
MIDI keyboard or external sequencer on a separate computer.
7.1.1 Launching the Stand-alone application
 To launch the standalone application on Windows, go into the menu
Start > Programs > Arturia > BRASS 2
and choose BRASS 2.
 On Mac OS X, open the folder:
/Applications/Arturia BRASS 2/
and double click on the application icon BRASS 2.
You can also double-click on a previously saved document in order to open the
corresponding configuration of the BRASS 2 application. This will be described in Section
6.1.6 of this document.
7.1.2 Preference Configuration
 In order to access the preferences window, click on the menu Settings. A pop-up
window allows you to configure the global preferences of the BRASS 2 application.
These are automatically saved.

MIDI PRESET page, the “EWI setup” button), you don’t need to select the EWI as
the MIDI output port as it is detected and selected automatically.
