Btw, Junkie XL is not German...
I've been reading about this Junkie XL Brass thing... and it's raised a question in my mind that I still have no answer for it. Junkie XL is a great musician in a specific genre of music, has contributed to some big projects with his music because of his strong eletronic background. And a lot more... But with what we know about Junkie is that he's not a composer with an accademic record or strong classical / orchestral background. Not that this is important in what he does... But, one would think that to make an orchestral library as a tool to 'emulate' a real Brass section, in this case, people that have spent time and have studied and know all about this specific section would be the ones doing it. This is not to offend anyone or downplay anything they've done...
I would have loved to hear that OT -- or anyone else for that matter -- had hired Pete Anthony for example (or any other of the great orchestrators working in the industry today) to be a strong voice in the production of such library. Again, someone that knows extensively about Brass and orchestration. It would have been a great contribution to a better sounding tool over all that can serve more people in a lot of genres.
Yes, maybe the Junkie XL Brass may end up being the Brass library to have, but I think it will be a take on a section as seen from Junkie's perspective and how he sees this section working in the way he works. So, a more specific library somewhat in the style of HZ Percussion, HZ Strings, etc., etc. I would have been very curious on the other hand if there was a Junkie XL Modular / Synth library or similar 'coming out soon' (like the Scoring Synths for example.)
It is wishful thinking, but imho, OT should've expanded or completed even more their main orchestral libraries. Regardless of their shortcomings, they're very good. But we live in the 'big announcements' era now... so why not, let's hear it
