Crocus Soundware has released Liminal: Reeds, a sample library for Kontakt of closely recorded orchestral reed instruments, including clarinet, oboe, English horn and bassoon. They say:
The library's articulations are textured and evolving, with the performer imparting character and movement into each sample. The instruments are recorded closely and dry. Details such a the claps of the keys, reed squeaks and breaths of the performer are captured in the recordings. The library is suited to add unpredictable nuance, detail and texture. It is not intended for fast passages or soaring melodies. It is suited as a collection of naturalistic pads for underscoring or soundscapes.
The user-interface allows articulations to be layered, mixed and reversed. LFO controls can be enabled, allowing your DAW's tempo to dictate the modulation of an individual layer's volume. This opens the door for tempo-synced swells and unleashes even more creative possibilities for evolving texture.
Features:
- Made for the latest full version of Kontakt 6 (Not intended for Kontakt Player).
- 2.24 GB of samples (2.1 GB download size).
- 6 Core Articulations.
- Several dozen presets.
Intro Price: $36 until 12 April, 2022 (Reg. $60).
