Expressive Solo Brass
The Century Brass Series stands as the definitive, state-of-the-art collection of ultra-realistic brass instruments. It is our most significant leap forward in orchestral deep sampling, infused with emotion and intention in every sample.
The full Century Solo Brass range includes 7 impeccable instruments: Trumpet, Flugel Horn, French Horn, Trombone, Bass Trombone, Cimbasso, and Tuba. Each instrument includes a huge variety of styles and techniques, from the heroic solo horn to the biting solo Cimbasso.
Century Brass was created with several new recording and sampling techniques. All the legatos are not only layered in dynamics, but also offer completely smooth transitions, even when playing polyphonic legato. With a touch of the modwheel, transform the sound from soft and gentle to wild and proud – without any hitches or jumps in the sound. The incredible arcs also feature polyphonic legato, allowing you to transition between notes or chords mid-arc, for a smooth and realistic sound.
We also recorded a wealth of different short notes, going far beyond the typical staccatos and marcatos. We recorded unique fanfare short notes, with more bite and tension as well as more traditional articulations at multiple lengths. There are more arcs than you could dream of, and of course all arcs are now dynamically layered and recorded at multiple lengths, featuring true polyphonic legato.
The shell of Century Brass is our custom-designed user-interface, offering virtually every option to express yourself. All simple. All on one page. Inside the shell, you will find the secret to Century Brass: an exquisite collection of luxury virtual instruments, specifically designed for high-end, emotional realism. The Century Brass Sessions took place over two years, with hand-picked players from across Europe, over 700 hours of sessions, retakes, and even further retakes.
Century Brass is not a sample library to us. It is a truly emotional and realistic collection that is an ever-evolving, incredibly deep-sampled brass instrument. It can be anything you want it to be. The softest skin you ever touched or the thunderous end of a world. It can be subtle, it can be Forte, but it will always be lyrical.

POLYPHONIC LEGATO
SEAMLESS EXPRESSION
Century Brass raises the bar for professional legato samples with the world's first true polyphonic legato. The polyphonic legato allows you to play as many notes as you want and the engine will trigger all the legato intervals. The legatos also allow you to move between dynamics seamlessly. The sound is truly authentic, dynamic, and lyrical.
