“Virtual instruments with both musicality and playability are hard to come by. Jasper has the unique ability to capture and program performances that bring emotion like no other samples I’ve found. His incredible attention to detail results in instruments that are inspiring to play and don’t get in the way of the creative process. The fact that over 90% of my orchestral template consists of samples created by Jasper is testament to his craft.”

– Blakus (Blake Robinson), Trailer Composer (Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker, Jedi: Fallen Order, Battlefield V)


“I’ve always loved sampled instruments that are alive with raw emotion and natural musical expression. I deeply admire what Jasper is accomplishing in this realm. He’s taking substantial risks and venturing far beyond conventional sampling approaches. As composers, we are fortunate to have an individual like Jasper pushing the envelope. He’s dedicated his life to pursuing the holy grail in orchestral sampling.”

– Colin O’Malley, Two-Time Emmy Nominated Composer



The videos here show the “phrased sustains” from the upcoming Vista II – Small Brass Ensembles release. These are a new type of articulation I’ve been developing, based on my sympathetic-resonance approach and going down the rabbit hole both technically and performance-wise. Functionally they are polyphonic, legato-esque patches – per the (albeit very early) demonstrations. There are also same-note repetitions as you can hear, triggered by holding down the sus pedal while playing. I got 6-7 dynamics for these main phrased sustain patches. To hear more exposed versions there are also no-verb versions of the demos in the second half of the videos.
