Hello!
I'm sharing here some brass samples I've made which I personally consider good for melodies, not for chords. The "BrassSax" is my goto one. These are samples that I use for playing one note at a time and having a ready made sound. The idea is to simplify and not to worry about playing the melodies in octaves, in order to have a hand free to do any other instrument line.

They are combination of brass octaves sampled from Alesis QS6.1, Nord Saxophone Vib, and other brass samples.
I tend to use a Roland EV-5 pedal as control pedal for freq cut/volume to apply a custom crescendo anytime.

Best

Thank you. If you can, please post some mp3 to demo the samples.

• BrassSax.mp3

• BrassAlesis.mp3

• NewBrasswNordTPAT.mp3

Sorry for the three years delay, here there are some mp3 samples.
The dim. and cresc. that can be perceived on BrassAlesis and BrassSax are manually done with a Roland EV-5 pedal by assigning Freq LP and Level to the Control Pedal. -And the very beginning of NewBrasswNordTPAT as well.-
(All samples are recorded with analog delay at a fast tempo, eq and drive, compressor and stage 1 reverb)

Hi, mate!
These sound amazing. This is a great improvement to the otherwise poor brass samples from nord. I was wondering how do you exactly put the control pedal settings? Would care to share a stage program with us ? I can't really get it to sound like yours.

Thanks so much!

Kind regards, Alex

Hi Alex,

Thank you!
The control pedal controls the volume knob + the LP12 Freq simultaneously. This tries to imitate real brass instruments harmonics behavior when playing louder or softer.

Attached is a program for Nord Stage 2.
