What it is

Forge Trumpet is a Kontakt-based cinematic trumpet instrument from composer Filipe Leitao, built around two engines that share one musical language. The articulation engine delivers tightly controlled attacks, from subtle accents to aggressive hits, while the performance engine adds real performed two-bar trumpet phrases with natural timing no MIDI can replicate. It's tuned for bold, forward-sitting brass statements rather than sustained legato lines.

Who it's for

Film, trailer, and game composers who need fast, realistic trumpet hits and fanfare-style phrases for cinematic mockups, plus pop and modern producers looking for punchy brass accents.

Key features

• Two-engine design pairing an articulation engine with a BPM-synced performance engine
• 22 two-bar performance cells offering up to 44 playable variations across 4/4 and 6/8 time signatures
