How to: Realistic Brass (tuba, euphonium, trombone, horn, trumpet) in Vital - Synthesis Tutorial

IMPORTANT NOTE: Thanks to Yuli Yolo for pointing this out: the macros apply the same value to every note playing, so this brass preset works best monophonically (one note at a time). To make it polyphonic, instead of using the "note" parameter to modulate macro 1, use "note" to modulate wavetable position by -92 frames (with the same mod remap from the previous note modulation). Then you could set macro 1 to modulate that modulation amount.

If you don't mind the preset being monophonic, I recommend setting the voices to 1, to prevent multiple notes from playing simultaneously. If multiple notes are played with this preset, all notes will have the timbre of the last note played.

that's insane man

Do you have Surge XT content that is like this?

Awesome video. Subscribed 🤝🏾

why the f doesnt the macro move the fking wavetable position when i put it on there??>>?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Wow, what an awesome example of creating a completely custom wave table and then using it to design something that isn't an all-ears-bleeding sonic disaster and is actually super useful! :) Thanks for this. Looking forward to checking out some more of your vids.

Really nice content thanks for that 🔥

serum better

wow this is great! thanks!

Oh, and please, why we need to hold Shift before to drag some controllers?

BTW, I thoght that the most requested sound was from Yamaha TX81z Lately Bass...
...never saw a Vital version worthy to be called "Lately Bass"...

Great tutorial.
I miss some brightness on the final results, but these sounds are really usefull...

Yoo amazing. Makes me wonder, if you could Synthesise a banjo.

Impressive ! Sounds Perfect. Can it be done in Logic Alchemy ?

I'm confused. I'm doing everything like you but i can't even get the first step to work... help? :D

wow that sounds amazing!

Pretty good, but as a trumpet 🎺 player, to me it sounds simulated.

How did you know that wave warp makes a harmonic shift that sounds just like a sustained horn note?🤯 By ear, or was there some math/logic behind it?

Perfect.
Thanks
🙂👏

This is great! Thank you! Can you help me add a simulation for “growl” for this brass sounds?

I wonder how you come to these very specific modulation amounts. Is there any math behind them?

This was so cool!

Thank you dude! I'm creating an experimental/ambient track for music college, and this video has been really helpful, since I'm still a newbie with Vital. If I had some more cash, I would support you!

your videos are brilliant, putting that doctorate to good use ❤️

If possible could you show us how the lizzo truth hurts piano preset was made?

Great video. Is there a native waveform for this in Vital already? Or do you know the name of the waveform?

You are a master , Thank you , Would you be able to make an instrument that reproduces thunder? I've wanted this for a long time but I don't know how to do it..

That's incredible !
I wonder if it could get even more realistic by adding a touch of white noise to emulate the air flow blowed by the human

Amazing, you are truly amazing. Thanks!

Man, you are the best. I am enjoying every one of your tutorials. Beautiful and flexible sounds.
Thank you!

Wow! That's cool!

I'm a trombone player and I'm floored

Those are indeed some realistic brass sounds!

Is it possible to play one note with my saxophone and get more 2 sounds (trombone and trumpet) at the same time? Also, the sax on the 1st voice, trombone -5th and trumpet +3th ?

I think the only thing you missed was the part about the "Random" effects that you set up in the beginning of the video. I made up for that by setting Rand 1 to Osc 1 Tune in Matrix, then I set both Rand 2 and the mod wheel on Rand 1. Despite that and forgetting to name Macro 2, this was still a nice tutorial that I used to get a nice brass sound on my cover of the opening demo from Final Fantasy 1 (PS1/GBA).

This is honestly mind blowing how great these sound, it’s a bummer the sax got left out tho lol

Great stuff! Also, you sound like a chill Alan Rickman/Severus Snape. Thought I'd share 😅

Wonderful patch & video! Thanks for the walkthrough! Just saw the link in Discord.
