《Crocus Soundware LIMINAL: Zephyrian Brass》是一套專為 Kontakt 全版本用戶設計的深度演奏銅管音色庫，聚焦於小號、長號與閥式長號的靜謐、氛圍化表達。每段採樣均為長音、自由演化與富有情感的演奏，以捕捉銅管在極大動態範圍中的微妙變化。最特別的是其中的「低語音」（Whisper Tones）——演奏者通過極其克制的氣息，僅勉強觸發樂器共鳴，製造出介於氣息與音高之間的脆弱聲響，帶有蘆管般的溫暖與空靈感。
全庫採用近距離大振膜電容麥克風錄製，呈現極致細膩、富有呼吸感的聲音細節，完美適配電影配樂、實驗氛圍、現代古典等需要「人味」的場景。用戶界面支持混合、分層、反轉音色，並提供直觀的顏色編碼「交叉淡入控制」，還能同步 DAW 節奏使用 LFO 進行動態控制，釋放更多創意演奏可能。它不是傳統意義上的旋律銅管，而是一種有生命力的聲波材質，讓你在音樂中感受到不確定性、美學缺陷與真實人性。

========================================
Crocus Soundware is pleased to present LIMINAL: ZEPHYRIAN BRASS, a library of intimately recorded Trumpet, Trombone and Valve Trombone samples – playable using the full version of Kontakt 6.8+. The library’s articulations are aleatoric, long and evolving, with the performer imparting character and movement into each sample. This library focuses on capturing a wide dynamic range of the instruments, highlighting the uniquely varied timbres hidden within those dynamics. Notably, so-called 『whisper tones』 were recorded – a difficult technique where the performer uses highly-controlled breaths to produce tone that barely activates the instrument’s resonance. The result is a fragile sound that teeters between breath and pitch. This technique evokes a warm and airy reed-like character from the instrument.
The audio was recorded using large-diaphragm condenser microphones, placed within centimeters of the instrument’s bells. This allowed us to capture hyper-intimate details into the samples. The library is well suited to add unpredictability and creative imperfection. The LIMINAL range is not specifically intended for fast passages or soaring melodies. Instead, you may see the libraries as collections of naturalistic pads – offering humanistic details not found in something derived from a synthetic source.
The user-interface allows articulations to be layered, mixed and reversed. The 『crossfade gizmo』 allows artful blending of sound layers with intuitive color-coded controls. LFO controls can also be enabled, allowing your DAW’s tempo to dictate the modulation of an individual layer’s volume. This opens the door for tempo-synced swells and unleashes even more creative possibilities for evolving texture.
