I voted for the Brass and Wind Bank too - but still, the Crucible ceramics are intriguing - perhaps as part of Chromozone? In the meanwhile, best wishes as artist in residence - should you take the show further on the road - I hope someday you visit California!

Thanks again.

...always a need for good brass samples/playback.

Thank's James - after having created +250 patches for Chromaphone I would say - no, Crucible Ceramics can only be done with real samples and not with physical modelling. I have already started collecting different ceramic objects and instruments and the sounds are too complex in their harmonic structure to be physically modelled. So I'll do the Brass and Wind Bank and then maybe at the end of the year work on Crucible.

Taking a big orchestra on the road to California will probably not work, but the music will be there and who knows maybe one day I'll have the chance to perform it in the states, you have some great orchestras over there. Haven't played in the states since some gigs in the mid 90s actually.

I think the votes are clear - Brass and Winds are coming next, just need to think of a good title for it. Thank you all for your input, I appreciate it!

producing composed hamburgers will make McDonalds and mello jealous ... congratulations, Señor!

i must admit, i hate to go to patchpool and listen to the elaborated demos ... and here again ... beautiful and tasty sweets and saweets ... again i have to decide: well brass then, because of the wind in my overblown phrases.

cheers :)

That was quite poetic, Chris! Thank you :)

With the sample start control you can move the samples in so the swell gets shorter, or starts right at the maximum dynamic point of the swell. I skipped the weird Snaps in this demo as I wanted to make a pure sounding brass demo first.
I will not record the next sample session in that church again, I've come to the conclusion that sampling dry in a proper studio will leave the user with many more options the sculpt the sound. It's nice to have those church horns included in this Bank anyway.

I think it is a good decision.

These horns are gorgeous.
Best wishes

Here is another patch from the Dark Brass project which has been on hold for ages. I'm still not sure how to proceed with this, probably I'll just release a smaller patch collection with the sounds and samples which have been created so far.
