$MY NEW SAMPLE LIBRARY!!! Petrichor is out now: https://fracturesounds.com/product/petrichor/?utm_source=dk-promo Launching my new sample library Petrichor, released with Fracture Sounds! Come meet the players who recorded this beautiful project with me. Petrichor is a soft woodwind textures library, formed of Low and High Wind Ensembles. Low Winds mixes Baritone Sax, Tenor Sax, Bass Clarinet and Bass Flute. High Winds mixes Tenor and Alto Sax, Clarinet in B flat, Alto and Concert flute. We recorded an eclectic range of articulations designed to add warmth, and gentle ebb and flow to your scores, featuring a cutting edge new articulation called Smart Trills. This analyses the intervals in your chords and selects sporadic trills that follow your input.
