Crocus Soundware has introduced a new Liminal series Kontakt instrument which brings a collection of whispering and resonant brass textures.
Featuring sample sets of both ensemble and solo performances, Liminal: Zephyrian Brass offers the sounds of intimately recorded trumpet, trombone and valve trombone instruments.
The library’s articulations are aleatoric, long and evolving, with the performer imparting character and movement into each sample.
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.
Available for the full version of Kontakt 6.7 or higher, Liminal: Zephyrian Brass is on sale for $42 USD (regular $70 USD).
Additionally, all Instrument Bundles are on sale at up to 60% off, and all other Kontakt instruments are available at a 30% discount until August 22nd, 2025.
