Musical Sampling has released a Kontakt instrument library featuring the sounds of 4 French horns, 2 trumpets, 3 bass trombones, and a solo tuba.
Classic Brass is designed to be eminently playable, rich with personality, spanning a wide dynamic range, and leaving ample room for the sound to breathe.
Sharing the same playability philosophy as our existing brass releases, Classic Brass elevates every aspect of the sampling process. Recorded in a large acoustic space (Besední dům in Brno, CZ), it pushes the upper dynamic range while taking contextual sampling techniques to their limits within a true concert hall environment.
Every articulation – with the exception of latch key staccatos and staccatissimos – was captured inside thoughtfully curated phrases, aiming to preserve the musical energy and subtle chaos a live performance imparts to each note.
Classic Brass features
- Recorded in a concert hall in traditional positions.
- Dynamics: Trumpets (5) Horns & Bones (4), Tuba (3).
- 4 mic positions, 1 mixed mic.
- Contextually-sampled.
- Wide dynamic range with strong top dynamic.
Available for the full version of Kontakt (6.8.0 or higher), Classic Brass is on sale for the intro price of $199 USD until April 20th, 2026 (regular $299 USD). Owners of Adventure Brass, Trailer Brass, Orb Trumpets, or Orb Horns & Bones qualify for the $149 USD loyalty intro price during the intro period.
