The Sound Board

"Indiginus has teamed up with Impulse Record to create Blue Street Brass, a library featuring authentic instruments from the early 1900s and late 1800s, played in a style reminiscent of the turbulent days of the 1930s and 1940s, with just a touch of film noir. Blue Street Brass has a simple interface to get you working quickly, with it's emphasis on sustained notes and a new scripted legato effect."

I have had it for a while. It sounds really good and is really playable.

Interesting - thanks Piet!

This seems like something I would use for momentary/situational things. There are some realistic moments, but I think the lack of depth would make it challenging for longer pieces.
However, the price/bang for the buck is amazing as is so often the case with T. C.'s Indiginus offerings.

Jay - in practice does the library sound better than the demos?

Im not a great fan of the demos. The plunger and harmon muted trumpets sounded good. Not so much the rest for me.

Listening more.....it really is an amazing bargain with some very nice sounds regardless of the lack of control. I do wish the demo had been done without as much of the cathedral reverb.

If you don't like the sound of the demos then probably you will not like it.

Fair enough - thanks Jay.

I am going to spend a little time in the next day or two comparing the trumpets, cornets, flugelhorns, with the Samplemodeling Trumpet, just for fun.

Are there Round Robins?

Nope, not as such, but the velocity layers and the MW are responsive enough that you can repeat notes and get them to sound different. I bought this today and it's quite playable... Without the RRs it wouldn't be good for ostinati drawing in a MIDI editor, but these instruments are obviously not designed for those types of music.
