Crocus Soundware has released Liminal: Zephyrian Brass for Kontakt, a sample library featuring trumpet, trombone and valve trombone. They say:
This is a library of intimately recorded Trumpet, Trombone and Valve Trombone samples, with articulations that are aleatoric, long and evolving. This library focuses on capturing a wide dynamic range of the instruments, highlighting the uniquely varied timbres hidden within those dynamics. Notably, so-called ‘whisper tones’ were recorded – a difficult technique where the performer uses highly-controlled breaths to produce tone that barely activates the instrument’s resonance. The result is a fragile sound that teeters between breath and pitch. This technique evokes a warm and airy reed-like character from the instrument.
The user-interface allows articulations to be layered, mixed and reversed and our ‘crossfade gizmo’ allows artful blending of sound layers with fun and intuitive color-coded controls.
Features:
- Made for the full version of Kontakt 6.8 or higher (Not intended for Kontakt Player).
- 3.34 GB samples Uncompressed.
- Includes sample sets of both ensemble and solo performances.
- 12 Core Articulations.
- Dozens of Snapshot Presets.
