Description
Your idea
When applying the mute directive (+) to a trumpet part, the playback sound is that of a Harmon mute, rather than a straight mute. In Jazz, the Harmon mute is quite common, but less so in orchestral playing. It would be great if there was a sampled sound of a straight mute that one could apply to a trumpet part.
Problem to be solved
Sound of muted trumpet is quite limited.
