Warm Brass Sounds

US e-instruments and Native Instruments releases Valves Pro 25/07/23

Valves PRO is a collaboration between e-instruments and Native Instruments that they say offers premium warm brass sounds that breathe life into your compositions. A spokesperson told us, "Immerse yourself in a world of sonic possibilities with this quintet ensemble, comprising Flugelhorn, French Horn, Trombone, Euphonium, and Tuba, each boasting a unique and mellow timbre with unmistakably warm and expressive articulations."

Here's more details direct from the two companies...

Experience unmatched versatility with Valves PRO's three distinct sampler instrument patches. Craft captivating solo melodies with the solo patch or effortlessly write expressive section parts with the ensemble patch. The revolutionary phrase player, now with over double the number of professionally composed phrases, injects instant emotion and inspiration into your compositions.

Enhance your productions with a choice between condenser and ribbon microphone characteristics. The condenser samples offer a detailed, natural, and breathy essence, while the ribbon samples add a warm, vintage touch.

Embrace Valves PRO and elevate your compositions to new heights of exceptional brass realism.

VALVES PRO IN DETAIL

SOLO

Compose intricate solo melodies or arrange the five instruments to create detailed ensemble parts. Choose between 62 articulations for full flexibility, or use "Virtuoso" and the engine will automatically select articulations depending on velocity and pitch-bend settings for fluid performance without keyswitching.

ENSEMBLE

Effortlessly build authentic and expressive ensemble performances with the ability to select different articulations across all five instruments. Access a range of variations and customization options. The Auto Divisi feature assigns the best suited instrument to each chord note for true-to-life arranging, and all of the time-based articulations are synced to your host tempo so you can focus on being creative.

PHRASE PLAYER

Valves Pro includes over 200 professionally arranged preset phrases with three variations, each. Explore the Player presets and choose from emotive textures to complex rhythmical patterns, ready for you to use and edit to achieve the results you are looking for. Or start with a blank sheet and create your own phrases from scratch.
