At the time of this writing, there is no other instrument that can play four short samples of brass instruments (trumpets, horns, trombones and tubas) at the same time. But with Kinetic, you get the entire brass section in one instrument.
This means you get a separate timeline for each section. Each timeline contains 64 notes or rests and can be divided into 4 “regions”. And you can make each timeline play differently, whether you’re holding a single note or a chord!
Choose from 30 preset presets. And if you really want to fool around, you can choose any of the same 30 presets for each section separately. This means that trumpets can play the Superman preset, horns can play the Terminator preset, trombones can play the X-Men preset, and tubas can play the Cap. America” EVERYTHING SIMULTANEOUSLY! And, of course, any or all of these templates can be edited.
You can also download perpetual motion templates which include some very useful accents. These accents can be based on every 2, 3, 4 or 6 events. In addition, you can set whether the accents are subtle, moderate, or dynamic.
Kinetic Brass contains 4 trumpets, 4 horns, 4 trombones and 2 tubas. Staccato, Marcato and Portato articulations included. And each articulation can be “lengthened or expanded.” Recorded at First Presbyterian Church in Santa Monica, where leading orchestras from Los Angeles record and perform.

Round Robin is randomized so that you never hear a “loop” effect.
Samples of the church ambience are carefully mixed in for a very natural sound.
Repetition will always follow the tempo of your DAW.
