Possible to do programming for realistic trumpets in Live?
Posted: Tue Jul 13, 2010 9:22 am
Hi!
In my music I need trumpet sounds, both individual and in a group/session, and I´m looking for a VST-instrument/sample library to do that for me.
I´ve tried the trumpets that come with Kontakt 4, but they unfortunately sound to artifical/synthy for me.
The two products I have in mind to help me are
- "Trumpet" from Samplemodeling, http://www.samplemodeling.com/en/products.php. Samplemodeling depends heavily on a expression pedal/breath controller to work. (It´s possible to program in a sequencer, too, though.)
- "Screaming trumpet" from Warp IV, http://www.warpivmusic.com/. AFAIK Warp IV don´t come with expression pedal/breath controller programming, as it depends on keyswitches/programming in a sequencer to do that work instead.
I´m a novice in programming in CC lines and working with a expression pedal/breath controller, but I´m willing to try to learn how it works to get more realistic trumpets in my music.
Since these products aren´t cheap, I´m a bit worried if I really can use them well in Live, since Live is a bit rudimentary when it comes to midi compared to other sequencers like Cubase.
Has anybody any tips for how I´m supposed to set up an expression pedal (or a breath controller) in Live?
If I skip an expression pedal/breath controller, and try to program the performance instead within me sequencer, can I do that easily with Ableton Live?
Thanks
