ARTURIA – BRASS 2 – USER’S MANUAL
78
Access to the BRASS 2 plug-in is like all other plug-ins, via an audio track insert:
Opening BRASS 2 in Pro Tools
BRASS 2 must be loaded on an audio stereo track. We can now make BRASS 2 sound by
playing with the mouse on the virtual keyboard.
7.4.2.2 Connection to a MIDI channel
So that BRASS 2 can play the information coming from a MIDI track, you have to
connect it to a MIDI channel via the appropriate menu.
We can thus also control BRASS 2 from a control keyboard (see the Pro Tools menu for
more information on plug-in connection).
7.4.2.3 Saving the presets
When the session is saved, the status of BRASS 2 is saved as it is, even if its
programming does not correspond to the preset. For example, if you are working on a
preset “P1” in which you have modified the parameters (without saving them in the plug-
in itself), the next time you open the session, BRASS 2 will charge the “P1” preset plus
the modifications.
The “Librarian Menu” of Pro Tools is able to be used with BRASS 2 like with all other
plug-ins. Nevertheless it is highly recommended to use the internal BRASS 2 menu: with
the presets saved like this, they are usable no matter which mode (standalone or other
sequencer), and they can be exported, exchanged more easily, and will stay compatible
with the future versions of BRASS.
7.4.2.4 Automation under Pro Tools
The automation function with BRASS 2 like with all RTAS/HTDM plug-ins (make reference
to the Pro Tools documentation for more details on the plug-in automations).
