Episode 006
Can brass instruments come alive through digital wind controllers? Discover the secrets behind flawless brass emulations in our latest episode with experts Matt Traum and Alistair Parnell. 

We present a range of brass patches, from lead trumpet to tuba, and delve into the nuances of layering these sounds for a richer performance. Alongside the VL70-m, we highlight the Roland XV series sound modules, SWAM instruments, and the internal sounds of the Roland Aerophone.

Our deep dive into the intricacies of pitch bending and vibrato will refine your brass emulation skills, drawing from real-world trombone and trumpet techniques. Learn to emulate the subtle vibrato of classical music and the distinctive vibrato of jazz by closely studying professional performances. We also explore the use of audio harmonizer pedals to generate multi-note harmonies and the practical application of the Electronic Valve Instruments (EVIs) for brass players.
