Bands today use synthesizers all the time in their music because the sound they produce is nearly indistinguishable from the real instrument’s sound. On more advanced synthesizers, they can adjust the attack, decay, vibrato, tremolo, and release of each note. Electronic music synthesizers use a series of harmonics whose relative amplitudes can be adjusted to fit the desired instrument’s waveform. In order to come as close as possible to the exact waveform of the instrument, more harmonics must be used in the synthesis of the instrument’s sound. Harmonic synthesis is the construction of a sound wave from its harmonic components. The trumpet’s waveform consists of a large amount of the third harmonic, and some from the second, fourth, and fifth harmonics, along with the fundamental frequency. The relative strengths of these harmonics determine the timbre, or quality, of the tone. Thus, the first harmonic is the fundamental frequency, the second is twice the fundamental frequency, etc. The harmonics are numbered in order of increasing frequency. If an A is being played at 440 Hz, the frequencies of the harmonics will be 880 Hz, 1320 Hz, and so on. Perhaps one of the knowledgable here can pull the proper units to make the brass sound. I was not able to find the proper moduals to get the voice. Anyway, I attempted to set this diagam on VCV Rack. I downloaded the setup for the minimoog brass voice.I have used it on my Berhringer D and sounds real close to a horn.
