Fracture Sounds has introduced Blueprint: Gentle Brass, a free brass library for Kontakt Player that captures the warmth and delicacy of traditional British brass ensembles. This plugin is a great addition for producers looking to add realistic, expressive brass sounds to their music. Featuring Euphonium, Tenor Horn, Flugelhorn, Cornet, and Soprano Cornet, each instrument was recorded individually and blended into a cohesive ensemble patch. It also includes an Atmosphere Layer, allowing for more experimental and evolving textures.
Personal Review
As a producer, I’ve often found brass libraries lacking the depth and realism necessary for modern compositions. However, Gentle Brass sets a new standard. The sound is convincing and doesn’t need to be buried in the mix to feel authentic. What stands out the most is its versatility, the plugin can easily be used for cinematic scores, ambient music, or even more experimental soundscapes. The Atmosphere Layer adds a unique touch that really enhances the creative possibilities.
Also check the Blueprint Drums & String Library that can be a great addition to your Kontakt Player.
