Cmusic Production releases "SOLO Euphonium" for Kontakt

Cmusic Production has released the SOLO Euphonium Library for Kontakt.

The SOLO Euphonium Kontakt Library is designed to allow the user to realistically imitate virtually any melody that a real Euphonium can play.
It was recorded using two microphones (A – large diaphragm with a cardioid pattern and B – ribbon mic with a figure eight pattern).

CMusicpro's engineers, by means of these unique pairings, have produced a carefully-crafted finished product that is designed to combine the condenser's smooth, natural complexity with the ribbon's extreme sensitivity. The large-diaphragm condenser signals were then summed, and the combined resultant tonal qualities were found to smooth the occasional harsh highs often produced by brass instruments. Additionally, this process enabled a truly mono-capable signal to be produced. Complete balance adjustments between A and B components are possible. Meticulous production techniques, combined with multiple articulations create the impression of a realistic live performance.

Cmusic recorded all intervals for up and down articulation normal Legato. There is the ability to vary the dynamics of the instrument to convey a wide, detailed range of expression from pp to ff. LFO vibrato may be added to the sound at any time. Sustain, Staccato and Marcato articulations provide added realism by means of a round-robin algorithm. The articulations and exclusive tone were specifically designed to enable a Euphonium solo to stand out clearly "in the mix".
