Crocus Soundware releases "Liminal: Zephyrian Brass" for Kontakt

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. Intro Price Liminal: Zephyrian Brass is $42 until 22 August, 2025 (Reg. $70). Read More
