Fracture Sounds have released Petrichor, a collaboration with composer Dan Keen, available at the intro price of £59.00, increasing to £79.00 after the black Friday sales.
Explore contemporary woodwind performance with a unique textural woodwind ensemble, recorded in collaboration with composer Dan Keen. The 6-piece ensemble, consisting of saxophones, clarinets, and flutes delivers an earthy and intimate sound, perfect for emotive scoring.
Petrichor combines a unique blend of woodwind instruments, performing in contemporary styles with motion picture scoring in mind. The Low Winds features a Bass Flute, Bass Clarinet, Bass Sax and Tenor Sax, whilst the High Winds is a blend of Alto Flute, Clarinet, Alto and Soprano Sax. Both ensemble types can be played individually as separate patches, or combined across the key bed in a combined Ensemble patch.
The instruments were selected specifically for their airy and warm characteristics, which are elevated when played in the specific articulation styles selected in this library. The wide range of timbres these woodwind instruments can produce and the emotions they evoke are what make them perfect for adding texture and nuance to any score.
Petrichor is the first library to utilise our newly developed GUI framework, giving you access to 8 articulations per patch via an intuitive grid system.
Introducing a groundbreaking new sampling technique, Smart Trills – an elegant solution to combining the different trill intervals available in Petrichor.
Smart trills will detect the chords you are playing and trigger the correct interval sample (either major 2nd, minor 3rd, or major 3rd). If an interval is out of range, the engine will trigger a whisp sample instead, so you can play any note combination and the engine will do the rest behind the scenes.
Features include:
- Low and High Woodwind ensembles.
- 11 Individual Articulations.
- 10 Unique Atmosphere Layers.
- Smart Trills that automatically recognise the chords you are performing.
- Full NKS support – works with Komplete Kontrol hardware.
- 3GB download size (NCW compressed from a 4GB sample pool).
- Download through Native Access.
