BigSwingFace has announced BSF Tenor Trombone, the first in a series of big-band horn sample libraries for Native Instruments Kontakt.
BSF Tenor Trombone was developed to address the need for playable, dynamic solo and ensemble trombone parts for use in professional arranging and composition.
Featuring the artistry of virtuoso trombonist Eric Alexander, this library was recorded and programmed with innovative features to bring natural expression and playability to horn section recordings.
The included C.L.A.M.S Virtual Stage interface allows placement of each instrument in its natural location, avoiding the use of unrealistic “pan pot” mixing. This allows every instrument in your virtual ensemble to occupy a unique position in the soundstage for realistic group sound.
BSF Tenor Trombone features
- Recorded with vintage ribbon microphones for classic warmth and clarity.
- More then 1200 individual samples.
- All sounds and articulations available without patch changes.
- Distinct 2nd and 3rd trombone patches for section parts avoid duplication of samples on unisons.
