If you can’t afford the real thing, then this should do the trick: Arturia CS-80 V, that brass sound is afaik the first few brass presets from Yamaha CS-80’s presets with slight detuning. If you want to do the sound all by yourself, you could get a few hints from eg. this video (video title quite self-explanatory: The TOTO - AFRICA brass sound tutorial)
As for the other question, Renoise as a synth does have one major limitation: it’s not a synth.
Most brass synth patches are just a detuned or chorused saw waveform, with an envelope assigned to lowpass filter.
Thanks - i think its a great sampler though :-0)
You could consider Renoise to be a moderately powerful synth, in that you can draw waveforms, apply filters to them, envelopes etc etc…and that’s not even getting into track dsp’s yet =)
Renoise yet lacks a few essential things (specially a release- and velocity dependend filter envelope) to recreate this sound properly with the native sampler.
Here’s a simple way to get at least close to it, without too much effort: TotoBrass.xrns
Because of the filter attack it’d be a good idea to put some negative delay on the track, if you use this within a song.

@ Bit_Arts: did you just misplace that one note to not get DMCA’d?
Nope, that’s just a quantization fault. I left it in, because I think it sounds more “alive”.
Here’s a second take on the sound, on which I tried to be a bit more accurate on the actual frequency spectrum. Also removed the occurring phase deletion. I guess, that’s pretty close now. Still, a really proper envelope design sadly isn’t possible.
That’s pretty damn close, nice job!
Well it’s indeed a very good job BA
Using the notes from his xrns I’ve made one of my own; 0311-example.xrns
Sounds pretty brassy but not close like Baracus’.
Ah, that brass reminds me of a early 80’s song Let’s not even get into how you go about filling that damn gap afterwards!
Whole pattern completely arranged in Renoise…
Toto Brass… one step further XRNS
BitArt’s is fairly accurate, I gave a shot at it with the trusty old Synth1, https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/72386143/Sound/africa%20synth.xrns
Hard to get those harmonics to sound exactly right.
Wow! Fairly accurate reproduction, I’d say too. Good thing I can’t remember the lyrics…
(or I’d be singing them out loud)
