Arturia Brass 2.0 is based on a new kind of physical modeling technology. All of the characteristics of the real instruments have been analyzed and modeled through extensive research at IRCAM, the world-renowned institute based in Paris. Arturia has partnered with IRCAM to bring this groundbreaking technology to your studio. How do you play Brass 2.0 instruments?

Real time controls such as a breath controller can be used to great advantage with Brass 2.0. The choice is under your control.
The riff mode in Brass 2.0 is as easy as it looks. Select one of the hundreds musical phrases provided in Brass 2.0 and use it in your creation instantly. There's no need to browse huge libraries of loops to find what you need. With Brass 2.0, you just choose the riff you want and the target tonality you like. As for the tempo, you can change it as well, or it will automatically synchronize with your host sequencer, if you want to work that way.
With Brass 2.0 you can play your instrument with maximum expressivity, like a soloist would! All parameters can be modulated in real time. What's more, you can assign any MIDI controller to any parameter, switch automatization on some other parameters, and obtain a very lively and realistic sound.
