allow artifact-free “harmonic alignment” processing.avoid “contamination” of the pure trumpet sounds with the uncontrolled resonances of a particular ambience,.The purpose of anechoic recording was threefold: Pseudo-random detuning, based on real performance-derived pitch trends, is another outstanding new feature of The Trumpet 3, adding further realism. Proprietary modal resonance IRs, innovative techniques for sample modulation, and advanced artificial intelligence MIDI processing are used for real time construction of all articulations and morphing across dynamics, vibrato, legato, portamento, trills, vibrato-like endings, shakes and so forth. The purpose of the model is to minimize the differences between the real phrases and those played by the virtual instrument. The Trumpet engine is structured according to an adaptive model, based on the performance "fingerprints" of the real instrument. All samples are unlooped, and have a minimum duration of about 10 sec. The base material of the instruments consists of 278 MB of samples, chromatically performed by a professional trumpet player over a very wide dynamic range.

The package includes three different B♭ Trumpets, a Cornet, a Flugelhorn, a German Trumpet, and a Piccolo Trumpet. The result is a playable, very expressive virtual instrument retaining the rich, full sound of a real trumpet. The programming moves further away from conventional libraries, by exploiting physically-oriented modulation of the recorded sound.

Specially devised "early reflections" impulse responses add a virtual space to the anechoic sound, greatly contributing to realism (see below). Our proprietary "Harmonic Alignment" yields continuous transitions across virtually infinite dynamics. Multi-microphone anechoic recording allows to capture the original timbre of the instrument, along with its radiation pattern. The Trumpet3 further expands Samplemodeling™ technologies.
