Timeless sound – soulful and jazzy. The Mute Trumpet conveys the intimate and jazzy sound most often associated with the playing of Miles Davis. As part of the Elastik series of instruments, the Mute Trumpet is a huge collection of jazz solo phrases. The performance is masterful throughout, and all the details have been beautifully captured. The sound of the instrument is open and airy. The playing style is delicate, fragile and soulful, but also includes plenty of dynamics if you need your melodies to reach a powerful or striking climax.
Beautifully intimate and soulful sound
The library contains over 1.3 GB of samples, with almost 700 different loops and phrases recorded at tempos from 60 to 90 bpm. These are organized into 41 folders, each based on a specific key/tempo combination and containing between 13 and 23 phrases and phrase variations. The recordings include a touch of room ambience, but no EQ or compression has been added. Simply select your own choice of reverb or delay, and Mute Trumpet will add beautiful sound quality to your own productions, full of character. Individual phrases can be easily combined to create longer performances. Thanks to Elastik’s excellent time stretching and pitch bending capabilities, phrases can also be mixed and matched between folders or to suit the needs of an existing music project.
Expressive Downtempo Phrases
The slower tempos and jazz influences of the Mute Trumpet make it the perfect complement to our other downtempo titles such as the Upright Bass 2, Downtempo Guitar or Tenor Saxophone. Although the sound of the muted trumpet is most closely associated with jazz, it can also find its place in soul, funk, lo-fi, lounge and RnB styles. This makes the Mute Trumpet the perfect choice for any music producer or media composer who wants to add the intimate character and soulful, jazzy sound of the muted trumpet to a wide range of projects.
