Hyperion Brass Elements includes 10 combo ensemble presets and 6 Master and True-Legato section presets for 6 Trumpets, 4 Tenor Trombones, 4 French Horns, 3 Euphoniums, 3 Bass Trombones, and 3 Tubas. The Master presets include a broad selection of fundamental articulations, each with their own range of customizable real-time performance options, key-switch and mapping options and performance tools. These master presets allow you to blend and switch effortlessly between vibrato and non-vibrato sustains, a variety of shorts and naturally dynamic tempo-based expressions.

Our new Easy-Lead feature puts creative control right at your fingertips, allowing you to instantly go from tight staccatos to dynamic sustains without needing to keyswitch between articulations. Simply play quick notes for tight staccatos or hold down the keys for long, dynamic sustains. This performance feature is great for fast playability, allowing you to get ideas out quickly and work within a full orchestral mix.

The Short articulations include staccatos and staccatissimos each with two speeds, loose and tight. The Multi-Staccato articulation features an option for double-tongue or triple-tongue. Each short articulation provides 4 round-robin variations per note and auto-speed switching, making it easy to humanize your arrangements and find the perfect emotive expression for any musical moment.

"Hyperion Brass Elements proves that quality and flexibility need not be compromised by budget. Soundiron delivers Chamber Brass sections with a great dynamic range and can deliver both the round warmth we expect for a classic brass choir to the fortississimo splats needed for contemporary scores and trailer tracks . . . very possibly the very best budget buy of the year."

For over a decade, our mission has been to create an ever-growing selection of inspiring instruments, orchestral sections, drums, percussion ensembles, choirs, solo voices, folk and vintage instruments, experimental sonic contraptions, cinematic effects and sound-designed creations.

After 5 years of conceptual recordings and polishing, Chapter 2 of the Afflatus Series is finally here. Pushing the concept far beyond the first installment of the series, Afflatus Chapter 2 Brass is a comprehensive no-holds-barred collection of brass instruments based 100% on user feedback and the core strengths of the first chapter, making it a true workhorse collection of brass instruments.

Capturing conducted musical performances as opposed to static generic samples, Afflatus Chapter 2 features several curated ensembles based on some of our and your favourite film soundtracks and pieces from the classical repertoire. These highly specialized and inspiring patches deliver instantly gratifying results beyond what traditional multisamples are capable of achieving. Recorded with different articulations and dynamic layers, these curated ensembles are far more than one-trick ponies; they are serious scoring and music production tools.

From a gigantic Barbarian Low Brass Ensemble able to perform thunderous walls of brass while still maintaining clarity and an organic sound, to 10 Phantom Horns amplifying themselves through Marshall Amps back into the room into playable, expressive and delicate brass swells (The Chosen One), as well as muted trumpets with vibraphone and saxophones (Noir Brass), the available colours are numerous and required an extensive amount of test sessions to get the best out of the concepts they are based on. We are proud to say that we have 9 different curated ensembles with multiple articulations as well as dynamic layers in the 1.0 release of Afflatus Chapter 2 Brass. For more in depth information, please check out our Content Overview List.

On top of that, Chapter 2 also comes as a comprehensive and consistently sampled workhorse brass collection containing various ensemble sizes and soloists of every section recorded normale and with various mutes (where applicable) for the different instruments. Featuring the latest iterations of our acclaimed polyphonic true legato and a brand new user interface allowing you to customize each articulation and the sound to your liking. Special attention was given towards seamless crossfading between dynamic layers and tightness in the round robin editing. The top dynamic is a blasting fff, while the lowest dynamic is a soft pp. A wide selection of different lengths for marcato playing as well as playable sfz crescendo, slides, wt/ht trills, flutter are available for each instrument performed normale and with mutes where possible.

The library was edited in such a way that playability and performance was key. There are only minimal offsets - if any - needed to get the performance 100% tight.

As with the previous chapter, Afflatus Brass dives deep into the unknown, too. Therefore, we are happy to say that the experimental subfolder is also present in Chapter 2. These highly playable patches are processed and mapped in unusual ways and allow you to get sounds beyond the traditional orchestral perspective on brass instruments.

"Strezov's AFFLATUS BRASS is my new front-line weapon for orchestral brass. The new Velocity Dynamics Influencer feature is immediately useful in my workflow, and the ability to switch instantly between sustain, mono-legato, and poly-legato is another massively useful feature. And the sound is all I could hope for, from delicate to brutal, from intimate to massive, from up close to miles away. Supreme realism, instant playability, and world-class tone. A massive thumbs up!" -

"One revelation, which has made its way across from the Afflatus String package, is polyphonic legato; this is not only a huge timesaver when producing a performance in your DAW, but also incredibly convincing." - SOUND ON SOUND

Hey everyone! I've been on pause from Steemit for a while because there's just too much stuff going on - I'm still mixing the Miriam tracks, my Danelectro bass had a makeover and is now a fretless, I'm doing some research on how to record a clarinet (I'll write about it soon) because I'm doing some serious clarinet recording next week, the mixing of our live Velvet Underground anniversary show is also on the way, I'm writing new material and I'm currently doing brass arrangements for my upcoming second album.All of this means there are a lot of long nights, but it brings me so much joy I don't even think about complaining. Anyway, today I've decided to write about brass arranging and what might be helpful the first time around.

For reasons unknown to me, I've had this idea of writing arrangements for a brass quartet for my next album. What I've had in mind is everything from soft pop brass to spooky brass or Tom Waits drunk brass. Since I'm not a brass player or a schooled musician, I had to do some research before I start. So, tip no. 1 is very simple - GET TO KNOW THE INSTRUMENTS YOU ARE ABOUT TO WORK FOR BEFORE YOU START DOING ANYTHING ELSE. The main reason for this is simple - today, you can sample and modify almost any kind of sound in your computer (we'll get to that) so it's important to understand how brass instruments work in real life, especially if your plan is to write the arrangements in MIDI and then have real brass players play it on the record. The obvious place to start is to listen to some brass music and pay very close attention to the sounds you hear. It will help you to learn how brass instruments compliment one another and what kind of lines within an arrangement a particular brass instrument usually plays. All of this will come in handy when you start writing your own stuff. Since I've had a pretty clear idea of what I wanted to achieve, I played a bunch of Tom Waits tracks, some classical music (like Tchaikovsky) and some outside of the box stuff, like The Hot 8 Brass Band doing a cover of Sexual Healing.

It soon became clear to me that a brass quartet works similar to a four piece band. You've got the tuba and the trombone covering the low end and playing some bass like lines, then you have the horns for the middle ends, doing the harmonies and simple melodies and then you have the trumpets way up high, playing melodies and solos. When you think about it, it makes perfect sense and if it works for a 4 piece pop/rock band it must work for a brass quartet. Here's an example of what I'm talking about:
