Product Overview
LIMINAL: Reeds features a collection of intimately recorded woodwind instruments, including clarinet, oboe, English horn, and bassoon. The library emphasizes expressive and evolving articulations, capturing the nuanced characteristics of each instrument, making it ideal for creating rich, organic textures.
Details
The samples are recorded closely and dry, allowing for the subtle details of key claps, reed squeaks, and performer breaths to come through. This focus on intimacy lends itself well to underscoring and soundscapes rather than fast passages or soaring melodies. The library includes six core articulations, designed to provide a naturalistic feel that synthetic sources often lack.
Users can layer, mix, and reverse articulations through an intuitive interface, while LFO controls enable tempo-synced modulation of individual layer volumes. This feature opens up creative possibilities for evolving textures, making LIMINAL: Reeds a versatile tool for composers looking to add unpredictability and character to their scores.
