Adventure Bundle

Arguably the strongest pairing in terms of versatility. Geared towards action and adventure scoring, both of these libraries feature a comprehensive set of patches specifically suited for exciting contexts.

With the Adventure patches in both Adventure Strings and Adventure Brass, the ability to quickly craft adventurous melodies in adventurous settings without any keyswitching is an adventure to behold.

Features:

Adventure Strings
Adventure Strings is the follow-up to our debut offering, Soaring Strings. Performed by the same number of players, recorded in the same room, seated in their traditional positions -- both share the same performance aesthetic. Strong, passionate and relentlessly energetic.

So why another string library with the same, familiar collection of short articulations? Well, it's how we produced them that makes it interesting.

Shorts are normally recorded in isolation -- perhaps one or two notes per bar during the recording process. This makes the editing process a snap and the end result is often satisfactory. The sane choice.

With Adventure Strings, we recorded repetition phrases; a quick succession of notes at a procured tempo. We then edited and programmed each note of that phrase to be playable, which resulted in a fetal position-incurring post-production process.

The end result is a collection of patches that now suit the context they were designed for because, well, they were recorded that way.

In addition to the shorts (spiccatos/staccatos/pizzicatos/marcatos), we've included trills, tremolos, sustains, keyboard-spanning Full Strings instruments and of course, our Adventure patches:

• Companion library to Soaring Strings.
• Short articulations all sourced from performance phrases.
• Medium-sized ensembles: Violins, Violas, Cellos, Basses.
• Morph Stacking programming allows any note length to sound natural.
• Sections recorded in traditional seating arrangement.
• Molto expressivo vibrato across the upper dynamic range.
• Includes true FFF sampling.
• To Silence feature.
• Adjustable Humanization feature.
• Switchable Crossfade/Velocity control for short articulations.
• 33 separate patches.
• Includes Full Strings instruments.
• Recorded on a scoring stage.
• Recorded in 48kHz / 24-bit.
• 5.1 GB uncompressed (2.9 GB compressed NCW format).

Adventure Brass
Adventure Brass was recorded at The Bridge in Los Angeles, a prominent scoring stage that has overseen a variety of television, film and game scoring projects since it's opening in 2010.

Starting out with LA's finest, the goal with this release was to create a true workhorse brass library that is first and foremost, fun to play.

Utilizing our Morph Stacking programming techniques, the Adventure patches allow you to perform lines "on-the-fly" without any keyswitching. Coupled with two intuitively-programmed attack variations, the ability to spontaneously craft bold brass melodies quickly has never been easier.

We recorded medium-sized sections; a dual-purpose group designed to treat equally-well to both unison and harmonic passages with believable transparency, even when crossfading between dynamic layers:

• Recorded at The Bridge in Los Angeles.
• Section sizes: 2 Trumpets, 4 Horns, 2 Trombones, 1 Tuba.
• Morph Stacking programming allows any note length to sound natural.
• Recorded in traditional seating arrangement.
• Adjustable Humanization feature.
• To Silence feature.
• Solo Trumpet Overlay feature.
• True playable repetitions for trumpets.
• Three microphone positions: Close, Room, Mixed.
• Recorded in 48kHz / 24-bit.
• 9.8 GB uncompressed (6.3 GB compressed NCW format).
