From Boldt Software:Boldt 24-Pack UIowa Trumpet is a package of 5 variations of one software instrument for GarageBand / Logic. Boldt 24-Pack UIowa Trumpet is a shareware product. If you find it useful, please pay a shareware fee or donate an old Mac to my Mac museum using the included instructions. You decide how much you want to pay. This is a motivator for me to continue developing Boldt 24-Packs. Boldt 24-Pack UIowa trumpet has the following features:

• DETUNED to sound like high school band
• 3 stereophonic section variations, including looping, natural release, and one where each player begins to breathe independently after you hold a note down
• Each note in the sections contains 5 simultaneous unique trumpet samples at discreet stereophonic positions
• 3 solo, mono variations
• 3 velocity layers
• Unique sample for each playable note and velocity

Why is this instrument out of tune? Some notes are WAY out there.

• It gives the instrument certain qualities that would be lost if I tuned it. I have intended for this instrument to sound like a high school band. There are several other trumpets in my Boldt 24-Pack packages that are in tune if this is better for your music style. You could also consider tweaking a few notes using pitch bend, but this could easily turn into a tedious task.

Why is it still called 'Boldt 24-Pack' if it has only 5 instruments this time?

• The format of the instruments is EXS-24, and that is where the 24 comes from. The first Boldt 24-Pack did actually have 24 instruments, but I wanted this one to have more.
