Symphonic Brass Collection

Update 2010 includes enhanced Kontakt 3/4 scripting:

The new instruments utilize Kontakt scripting by putting the most useful controls right on the interface for quick and easy programming. The biggest new feature is the addition of keyswitched instruments with the articulations controlled by buttons on the interface, or using the keys to switch between the articulations. When an articulation is selected by either hitting the keyswitch, or clicking on the articulation button, the articulation button illuminates to show what articulation is currently active. The edit controls give direct access to envelope attack time, and release trigger release time, release trigger volume, and the ability to turn on or off release triggers. The strings have an added button to turn on or off open string samples. All instruments have the added edit controls and a set of keyswitches, some with all articulations and lite versions that contain most commonly used articulations. All instruments, excluding the percussion library, have a legato scripting tool that allows the user to simulate note phrasing and interval movement.

Sonic Implants Symphonic Brass Collection, contient les cuivres de l´orchestre en solo et en ensembles avec les Cors, les Trombones, les Trompettes et les Tubas. Ce volet fait partie de la Sonic Implants™ premium Symphonic Collection. Cette collection complète la déjà remarquée collection de cordes. Enregistrée dans la même salle, utilisant les mêmes ingénieurs primés par des récompenses internationales, et jouée par des musiciens du Boston Pops, cette collection est constituée de fonctionnalités vraiment uniques avec une palette d´articulation inégalée, des sections de plusieurs tailles (premier pupitre, 2ème et troisième pupitre, premier au sixième), jusqu´à 4 prises alternatives sur les staccato, ta, ka, et sfz, avec les samples de release (qui assurent la cohérence de la reverb naturelle) et des sustains en loop. Super réaliste, se fondant parfaitement à la collection de cordes, disposant de l´estampille de la marque de fabrique de la réputée maison Sonic Implants™, connue pour sa jouabilité et sa qualité, cette collection orchestrale complète est désormais la collection de choix.

ARTICULATIONS

Mixing Versatility
Each section was recorded in its traditional position within the orchestra for a full stereo sound. User defined panning possible without stereo phase degradation.

Dynamics and Phrasing
Up to 4 dynamic levels were recorded for each articulation. Short articulations include up to 4 different alternate takes on the same note for added realism in fast or repeating passages.

Release Samples
Release samples are included to preserve the natural instrument resonance and subtle ambient decay of the hall. The release samples simply trigger when you lift the keys so the effect is simply there when you play. The difference? Now you´re playing instruments, not samples.

Legato - Sustained tones for legato playing at all dynamic levels. 4 velocity levels, release samples, all sections.

Marcato Legato - Sustained tones with an initial punch of dynamic intensity that tapers off to a smoother sound. 2 velocity levels for trumpets, trombones and horns, 1 velocity level for tuba, release samples, all sections.

Melodic Legato - A more melodic legato with a touch of vibrato, intended for solo melodic passages, 4 velocity levels, release samples, solo trumpet and solo French horn.

Mute Legato - Sustained tones using a straight mute in the bell to provide a classical mute timbre. 3 velocity levels for trumpets and trombones, 2 for the horns, release samples, all sections except tuba.

Bells Up Legato - Strong and loud sustained legato tones for the French horns, in which players raise the instrument so that the bell is up in the air facing the audience instead of against the body facing away from the audience. 1 velocity level, release samples.

Stop Muted Legato - Sustained tones for the French horns, using a stop mute in the bell to provide the classic stopped horn timbre. 2 velocity levels, release samples.

Staccato - Short staccato tones for accented passages, 4 velocity levels, 3 takes per note for trumpets, trombones, and horns, 2 takes for tuba and solo horn, all sections.

Muted Staccato - Short staccato tones with a straight mute in the bell, 3 velocity levels, 3 takes per note, all sections except tuba.

Double Tongue "Ta" and "Ka" - Short fast tones in which the player plays a rapidly repeated series of notes by placing the tongue alternately between the positions for "t" and "k". Recorded in a phrase for realism, the "Ta’s" and "Ka’s" have been separated to allow the composer complete control. 3 velocity levels, 3 takes per note, all sections except tuba.

Half Step Trills - Sustained half step trills. 3 velocity levels, release samples, trumpets.

Whole Step Trills - Sustained whole step trills. 3 velocity levels, release samples, trumpets.

Flutter Tongue - A sustained articulation in which the player places his tongue against the roof of his mouth, just above and behind the top teeth. When blowing, the airflow causes the tongue to separate from the roof of the mouth and the muscles cause the tongue to be restored to the roof. The resulting sound has an ethereal and "fluttering" quality. 2 velocities, release samples, all sections except tuba.

Muted Flutter Tongue - Sustained Flutter Tongue with a straight mute in the bell. 2 velocity levels, release samples, trumpets.

Sforzando - Strong, powerful short tone with a sharp attack followed by a quick drop in volume. 1 velocity level, release samples, all sections.

Mute Sforzando - Sforzando with a straight mute in the bell. 1 velocity level, release samples. all sections.

Falls - Similar to a Sforzando, but with a quick drop in pitch. 1 velocity level, trombones.

Muted Falls - Falls with a straight mute in the bell. 2 velocity levels for trumpets, 1 for trombones.

Glissando - An articulation in which the pitch slides up or down. Slow medium and fast variations are included. 1 velocity level, horns and trombones.

Rips - Similar to a Glissando, but with a more intense, loose attack, 1 velocity level, trombones & tuba.
