10: Brass Model

This oscillator is a physical model which simulates lip-reed instruments such as a trumpet or trombone. By using key velocity or modulation wheel to modulate the Pressure (the force of breath blown into the mouthpiece) you can produce performance expressions that are very similar to those of an actual lip-reed instrument. The parameters are as follows: Inst Type determines the model which simulates the bore length and shape of the instrument, Breath Pressure indicates the force of breath that is blown into the mouthpiece, Lip Character produces the tonal changes that result from lip position or tension, Bell Character produces the tonal changes that result from the shape of the end of the bore, and Peaking EQ performs a final tonal adjustment.

Lip (Character)

Specify tonal change produced by lip position

Inst Type

Select a model which simulates the bore length and shape of various instruments

Bell

Specify the shape

of the end of the bore

{Pressure Specify the force of breath that is blown into the mouthpiece Noise Specify the amount of breath noise

This oscillator allows you to choose from two types of pitch bending: jump bending using a mode jump as on a trumpet (by varying the bore length), and smooth bending produced by sliding the length of the bore as on a trombone.

For some parameter settings, the pitch may not change according to the notes that are played on the keyboard. In some cases, high-pitched notes may have a lower volume, or may not sound at all.

Synthesizer specifications

Korg synthesizers have established themselves as a powerhouse in the music production landscape, combining cutting-edge technology with user-friendly features to cater to musicians, producers, and sound designers alike. These iconic instruments have continuously evolved since the company’s inception in 1963, embodying innovation and quality.

One of the defining features of Korg synthesizers is their diverse range of models which cater to different musical styles and needs. From the grand M1 synthesizer that popularized MIDI in the late 1980s to the more recent Minilogue and Prologue, each model presents unique capabilities. The Minilogue offers a straightforward interface and powerful four-voice polyphony, ideal for both novices and seasoned musicians. In contrast, the Prologue, with its advanced circuitry and multi-engine technology, provides extensive sound design possibilities.

Korg synthesizers are known for their rich sound engines. Many models utilize the proprietary EDS (Enhanced Definition Synthesis) technology, which delivers detailed and dynamic sounds. Users can expect a broad sonic palette, facilitating everything from lush pads to biting leads. The multi-engine architecture found in the Prologue adds another layer of versatility, allowing for the integration of wavetable and FM synthesis alongside traditional analog sounds.

Another key characteristic of Korg synthesizers is their connectivity options. Most models are equipped with MIDI, USB, and audio outputs, making them easy to integrate into any studio setup or live performance rig. The ability to control virtual instruments and external devices through MIDI enhances the functionality of Korg synthesizers, enabling seamless integration into modern production environments.

Korg emphasizes portability with many of its synthesizers. The compact design of products like the Volca series allows musicians to create music on the go, making them ideal for traveling artists. Each Volca unit houses powerful synthesis technology within a small footprint, ensuring that users don’t sacrifice quality for convenience.

Korg also recognizes the importance of community and education in music production. The company frequently updates its synthesizers with new patches, features, and sound libraries, empowering users to keep their sounds fresh and relevant. Additionally, Korg offers various online resources, tutorials, and forums to support their users in exploring the full potential of their synthesizers.
