Unparalleled Brass Sound with True Expressiveness
Neo Brass is a flagship collection of modern brass soloists, carefully crafted to deliver the most authentic and expressive brass sounds available. The library includes a range of high-quality brass instruments:
- Trumpet
- Flugelhorn
- French Horn
- Trombone
- Euphonium
- Tuba
- Brass Ensemble Patch
Each instrument has been meticulously sampled to provide a wide range of articulations and performance techniques, ensuring that every note has the soul and character of a real brass player. From traditional, staple articulations like staccatos and legatos to more experimental techniques such as flutter tonguing and comic whaps, Neo Brass has it all.
Seamless Workflow and Unmatched Playability
One of the standout features of Neo Brass is its overlay threshold functionality. This cutting-edge feature provides an incredibly intuitive and responsive playing experience, allowing you to interact with the instruments as if they were right in front of you. The transitions between articulations feel natural, with minimal effort required to switch between different playing styles, making the process of composing or performing more fluid and intuitive.
This collection is designed to work beautifully alongside the rest of the NEO Soloists Ranges (Strings & Winds), allowing for a harmonious integration within your compositions. Whether you’re blending brass with strings or orchestrating complex wind sections, Neo Brass offers the versatility and realism you need to create professional-level productions.
