Spitfire Audio BML Trumpet Phalanx [KONTAKT]

Spitfire Audio BML Trumpet Phalanx [KONTAKT]

An epic choir of 6 trumpets cane it out in the hall. This standalone library gives you everything you need for broad and bold, widescreen trumpet parts. Or combine with BML202 Trumpet Corps for a 9 x Trumpet Armada!

OVERVIEW
Trumpet Phalanx captures that unmistakable sound of a large array of brass, valves and bells (and quite a lot of spit) belting it in unison. You can’t imitate the power of this. The trumpets are placed in situ around the original BML “Trumpet Corps Vol.1” placements, so if you want to go truly Wagnerian add the phalanx to our original trumpet line to get 9 players!

This is a self contained library that features a specially curated set of articulations for this size of section, designed by our award winning team of composers, and with the players themselves. All available with the standard and extended array of microphone mixes so you can instantly tweak the perspective of the performance space. For more info on these mic positions and articulations, click on the “delving deeper” tab above.

BACKGROUND
With Sable strings we proved that small can be beautiful. With our intricate woodwind and awe inspiring brass ranges we have proven that attention to moving composition and intricate arrangement can move your listener as much as scale. But in the case of Mural, sometimes size DOES matter. We’ve applied this to this new set of “Phalanx” brass modules which feature large, 6 piece sections leathering it at the hall in Air-Studios.

FEATURES
This is a self contained library that features a specially curated and broad set of articulations for this size of section, designed by our award winning team of composers, and with the players themselves. All available with the standard and extended array of microphone mixes so you can instantly tweak the perspective of the performance space.

Trumpet Phalanx is designed to be bold and brash, for composers wanting an epic and masculine edge. When combined with the Bones and Horn phalanx you will have everything you need to make epic and brash music ideal for blockbuster style scores and AAA games releases.
