Hi David, 

You beat me to it, just wanted to post the announcement!

Yes, BBO: Brass is now a reality, in form of 4 new products: 

BBO: Hercules - Low Brass 
BBO: Izar - Low Brass Clusters
BBO: Jupiter - 6 Horns
BBO: Kopernikus - 4 Trumpets

BBO: Hercules features 4 bass trombones, a bass tuba and optional a contrabass tuba played as ensemble. As always with multiple mics + additional close mics. Up to five velocity layers, from emotional pianissimo up to brassy and striking fortississimo, and real legato recordings, glissandos, swells, flutter tonguing, trills and more! (intro-price: € 65, reg € 95)

BBO: Izar consists of the same ensemble as Hercules, but played as clusters. All the same articulations with the exception of legatos. (intro-price: € 55, reg € 85)

BBO: Jupiter - 6 horns, the perfect number of horns for our Synchron Stage Vienna, crispy, powerful, from pianissimo up to fortissimo. (intro-price: € 65, reg € 95)

“The horn is the soul of the orchestra” (Robert Schumann). These horns cover the range of emotions and give your orchestra the soul it needs.

Same number of velocity layers, similar articulations just like BBO: Hercules.

BBO: Kopernikus - 4 Bb Trompets complementing the other brass sections with its high-end, adding the typical cinematic trumpet sound to your music. (intro-price: € 65, reg € 95)

Spicy fanfares, swells, or high background chords - these trumpets can do all of it. Same count of velocity layers, similar articulations.

All these feature many mixer presets, and don’t forget to check out the “Processed” mixer presets for even more BRASS! (but don’t forget that there are 4 more velocity layers, just add some of these now for contrast ;) )

Best, 
Paul

Just got those big four, A great bargain.

This team of four brass set is a real killer, amazing and a so realistic sound.

When playing the Jupiter Horns, one can almost hear the realism of the first note attack, almost never heard that precision in any other brand brass library.

I love this BBO collection one can afford purchasing regularly to build up a consistent complementary Library to the big Synchron one.

 Thumbs up again VSL !

Hello,

Are Sibelius soundset and possibly Dorico expression maps are expected for these 4 brass products?

Thanks!

Gil.

Hello Gil and Cyril!

Sibelius sound sets are on the to do list.
For Dorico we will focus on the SYNCHRON-ized Special Editions first, before we look into other libraries.

Best regards,
Andi

Hello Gil!

Dorico Expression Maps for SYNCHRON-ized Special Editions will hopefully come this summer, but I can't say for sure. They will be for Dorico 3.5.

Best regards,
Andi

Hi!  What is the difference, if any, between these brass recordings and the SE recordings?

Thank you!

Hi Paul, thank you so much!

So, they will mix well with the Syncrhonized SE that I already have?

Correct. All Synchron Series products are designed to compliment each other!

Hi Paolo, 

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Maybe our notation forum is the better place to discuss such DAW-specific questions?

Best,
Paul
