Indiginus / Blue Street Brass

Post by Piet De Ridder »

"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."

Instruments included: 1920s Trumpet 1 - Trumpet 1 Plunger Mute - Mellow Plunger - 1920s Trumpet 2 - Trumpet 2 Harmon Mute - Trumpet 2 Cup Mute - Soaring Trumpet (Trpt 2 ff with vib) - 1905 Orchestral Cornet - 1907 Cornet Lt. Vib - 1907 Cornet St Mute - Flugelhorn - Euphonium 1894 - Saxhorn 1865 - Mellophone 1930s - 1908 Trombone (vib and non-vib) - Brass Ensemble - Low Brass Ensemble - High Brass Ensemble - Bugle in G (WWII era) - Bugle in D (WWII era) - Civil War Bugle - Tuba 1900

$59 Introductory Price. Regular price: $79 - 1.5 GB Download. Requires the full version of Kontakt 5.

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

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.

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.

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.
