Fortissimo Trombone Ensemble - small freebie

The SV (State Variable) Filters are the new Kontakt 5 standard Filters. They're more advanced and sound a little better than the old Kontakt 2-4 ones, which are now the "Legacy Filters" (and which I used instead for the K4 nkis).
 
Re: Fortissimo Horn & Trumpet Ensembles - freebies

Thank you for the kind words. It's also very nice to hear the stuff everyone is making. I never could have guessed that there would be this positive reaction.

The hall and engineering are top notch.
That's a golden combo that may be better than
the other stuff here that we pay dearly for.

In the case of the Fortissimo stuff, it was just done in a dry space, not a hall (I put some verb on the demos). Engineering-wise, nothing too complicated or fancy is going on.

Well... Now that you ask, I actually have. :lol:
It really shows how well the brass fit in a mix.

I layered them with some CB horns for the quieter parts and SM trumpets. But mostly it's just the FF brass.
And thanks again for the freebies!

Jasper, this brass is really becoming quite heavily used in my template! As others have already asked, have you thought of doing some commercial stuff?

Think this deserves a comment...
Nice comparison Blakus (and nice demos as well). I like the Jasper Horn/trumpets better...especially the trumpets. the "legato" works really well - which to me is quite surprising. The fast stuff is really impressing...to my ears CB gets outclassed in this discipline...

Thanks Jasper and congratulation with these amazing instruments!
 
Re: Fortissimo Horn & Trumpet Ensembles - freebies

Hi all,

Jasper, wonderful samples! I've been using them for a bit and love them.

I hope you don't mind, but outside composing I am also a designer and created a simple interface graphic for the Horns and Trumpets. You were kind of enough to provide these instruments so I thought I would give back.

For anyone that is interested you can download them here:

Just replace the .PNG that resides in the Graphics folder.

Enjoy!
 
How wonderful of you to share these interfaces. A great replacement for mine, surely, mine were just kind of thrown together!

Thanks for the ongoing interest.

Thought I'd just add my little piece here in addition to Christian's wonderful work above!
This piece shows how I'm using Jasper's FF brass in my template context. I'm really happy with the way it mixes with my other brass libraries - it just soars so cleanly, I love it!

Holy mutha, Blakus, this is a beautiful, emotionally vibrant piece! Thank you for posting it! The opening strings sit with such roundness and depth, and those brass swells... Soo good! :)

Thanks again!

Re: Fortissimo Horn & Trumpet Ensembles - freebies

Thanks.

at least I can get a better approximation of the Staccatissimo lines that I envision with this library, which is much harder with CineBrass.

Is there some round robin going on with the marcato? I noticed there is a velocity difference between the Round Robins, at least I think that is what is happening.


Some small cue I made.

I'm glad you're having fun with it, Darkforest. Yes, there's round robin with the marcato, there may be some slight volume inconsistencies, because I don't really believe in normalizing my samples.

Big announcement(s) soon.
