Great demo! Thank you! it's hard to find videos of people showing the ST5 in action.
Sounds like it's kinda hard to buy them now, because Yamaha have stopped making the older version, and no one much seems to have the newer version either.
Yes, basically all effects come with the silent brass system. Naturally, you sometimes also play a bit different when you have a different effect, but first of all it is the sound of the silent brass
Sounds fantastic! I recently picked up an old cornet out of the closet and am working my chops up to move to a flugelhorn, which may produce my favorite tone out of anything (Euphonium player for 5 years). I'll be choosing a few to test before I buy one. Any input on piston vs rotary? I really like the Cerveny and it seems the rotors would smooth the tone out even more, but maybe I'm mistaken?
I have no real advice on rotary vs. piston. As you will know, pistons are more common in Jazz and Pops, while rotary are even within classical music vanishing. Mostly still existing in parts of Europe. I have played both and I personally think that good rotary is faster, since the way is mostly shorter.
In general you should try out many instruments. I had to try several till I found one that really had the flugelhorn sound that I wanted.
i'm thinking to get a yamaha silent brass myself but i'm not really sure bout it... does it mute totally to sound? because i want to practice at night and that'd the only way!!!!
It does not mute totally. However, it is more silent than a normal mute. Not much louder than listening to music or watching television - though trumpet might be louder than Flugelhorn and even without mute I do not tend to play that loud.
In short, I think it depends on your neigbours. If you tend to have music during night or watch a bit loud television, then this will be also fine, I guess. If not, then it might not work out.
I guess you should be able to try it out in a music store.
@mielpeterson so lets say you play it in one room and close all windows and doors. Can someone outside the door or window (in another room or even outside) hear you play?
there's a short phrase you used at 0:31 that sounds like a tune used in 'Finding Forrester.' If you did that intentionally, can you tell me what the name of the piece is?
What series do you have that allows you to mess with the sound that much? I have Personal Studio ST9...it doesn't let me do any of that, except a bit of Echo.
the effects you hear are the silent brass?

sounds good. I just bought a Flugelhorn yesterday, older Couesnon. I want to get a silent brass system (or simliar).

so did all these effects come with the silent brass system alone, or is it something different??

Sorry, was not really intentionally, so I cannot help you - but we often play things we once heard.

if you want to see a great use of the distortion effects do a search for Adam Rapa's Song for Jozak on here.
