Brass - Pro Version

$299.00

BRASS is a new kind of virtual instrument based on a physical modeling technology. It emulates a Trumpet, a Trombone and a Saxophone. All the characteristics of the real instruments have been analyzed and modeled through extensive research at world-renowned IRCAM institute. Arturia has partnered with this highly skilled team of researchers to bring this groundbreaking technology to the musician, in the form of a software instrument. BRASS is an extremely expressive, flexible and controllable instrument, and thus a fantastic alternative to loops or music libraries.

COPY PROTECTION

Syncrosoft™ : USB port required

The BRASS application is delivered with a USB key containing your BRASS license and authorizes the software to function. To use the software on a different machine, simply install the software on that computer and then plug in the USB key. In this way, you can use this system key to install licenses of other Arturia products, or other products that use Syncrosoft technology, and carry the license from computer to computer as you wish.

In order to function correctly, the USB key driver must be already installed on your system. The installation program for the Syncrosoft License Control Center is available on CD-Rom and will be launched automatically when you install BRASS.
