$30.00
Chapman trumpet is dear to us, being one of our first legato instruments. It’s an instrument that just works – and it’s incredibly fun to play! Programmed to be responsive on your fingers, this authentically unrefined Bb trumpet will soar over the orchestra, but also fit right into your indie pop song. We hope this little instrument will make its way into your sample arsenal, and maybe even your heart.
We chromatically recorded every up-and-down note transition within an octave across the full range. The result is that you hear an actual performance when transitioning between connected notes.
Vibrato was specifically modeled after real vibrato source-recordings. The result is an organic and fully controllable vibrato behavior that allows you to perform with emotion, without the limitations of pre-recorded samples.
No crossfading – no problem! Dynamics can seamlessly sweep between quiet and loud by controlling Expression (MIDI CC11), thanks to the modeled dynamics engine.
Brandon Chapman is the talent behind the trumpet, and a good friend who also lends a hand in Embertone projects from time to time. He likes long walks on the beach, vintage synthesizers, and strange comic art that makes you question his taste of humor.
In all seriousness – he is an extremely talented trumpeter, composer, and singer-songwriter.
Brandon, both classically and jazz trained, spent a weekend with us in the recording studio to sample the crap out of his trumpet on a nice ribbon mic. We had a lot of fun, and were floored with the results.
