Details
The library employs an all-in-one patch approach, utilising performance and repetition sampling techniques to create a reactive playing experience. Articulations include attacks and releases derived from performance phrases, with short, fast-tongued release samples that respond to note length. The trumpets feature up to five round-robins for added realism. Recorded in an ambient hall, the library offers close, Decca, and wide mic positions, allowing for flexibility in mixing and spatial placement.
Three dynamic layers are available, with two layers on the French horns, enhancing the expressive capabilities of the instrument. The library is built for Kontakt and requires the full retail version, ensuring a robust and playable experience. The ambient hall setting contributes to a rich, resonant sound, making it ideal for cinematic contexts where orchestral brass needs to shine.
