Sample Modeling Brass Bundle – Expressive Kontakt Brass Library

The Sample Modeling Brass Bundle is a comprehensive suite of solo brass instruments for Kontakt and the free Kontakt Player. The package includes The Trumpet v3, The Trombone v3, French Horn & Tuba v3 – amounting to seven trumpets, five trombones, four French horns and one tuba. Each instrument combines multi‑vector modeling with high‑quality samples to overcome the limitations of conventional libraries. The result is a virtual brass instrument collection that performs like the real thing, enabling seamless dynamics from pianissimo to fortissimo and adaptive modulation for real‑time expression.

Key Features

• Complete Solo Brass Collection – Includes seven trumpets, five trombones, four French horns and one tuba, covering the full brass spectrum in one download.

• Patented Harmonic Alignment & Adaptive Modeling – Sample Modeling’s technology allows continuous dynamic transitions and real‑time modulation, preserving the timbre of real instruments.

• No Pre‑recorded Articulations – Shape legato, portamento, falls, doits, vibrato, growl, flutter tongue, runs and trills using MIDI controllers. Over 20 parameters per instrument offer total control.

• Virtual Soundstage & Timbral Shaping – Position instruments in a virtual space with early reflections, panning and distance algorithms. Adjust individual harmonics to create infinite timbral variations.

• Anechoic Sampling for Clarity – Instruments are recorded in an anechoic chamber to avoid ambience and enable artifact‑free processing.

• Compatible & Lightweight – Runs in Kontakt Player or Kontakt. Download size is only 1.3 GB, with full 32‑/64‑bit support on Windows 7+ and macOS 10.8+.

Why Choose This Library

Unlike typical libraries that rely on static samples and crossfades, Sample Modeling’s Brass Bundle uses adaptive modeling and harmonic alignment to reproduce continuous dynamics and authentic articulations. Musicians can sculpt vibrato intensity, rate and timbre in real time, making this collection ideal for film scoring, jazz improvisation, pop arrangements and hybrid EDM tracks. Its compact 1.3 GB footprint and Kontakt Player support make it a practical choice for laptops and mobile setups. With access to a virtual soundstage and more than 30 adjustable parameters, producers gain unprecedented control over their brass section.

FAQ

Q1: Which versions of Kontakt are compatible with the Sample Modeling Brass Bundle?
A1: All Sample Modeling instruments, including the Brass Bundle, are fully compatible with Kontakt 7.10 and above in either the full version or free Kontakt Player.

Q2: What instruments are included and how large is the download?
A2: The bundle contains The Trumpet v3, The Trombone v3, and French Horn & Tuba v3, comprising seven trumpets, five trombones, four horns and one tuba. The download is approximately 1.3 GB.

Q3: Do I need any special hardware to use these Brass Bundle instruments?
A3: A modern PC or Mac (1.6 GHz+) with a low‑latency audio interface is recommended. For real‑time performances, a MIDI keyboard with mod‑wheel, pitch‑wheel and an expression or breath controller is ideal, though you can also program articulations in a sequencer.

Q4: How does Sample Modeling Brass Bundle differ from traditional brass libraries?
A4: Instead of relying on pre‑recorded articulations, Sample Modeling’s proprietary technologies allow you to generate legato, vibrato, portamento, growl, flutter tongue and more using controllers in real time, with continuous dynamic transitions thanks to harmonic alignment. This approach provides a more expressive and playable experience than conventional crossfaded samples.
