Brass Stacks is a fully customizable combination of 13 uniquely sampled brass instruments, designed for both creativity and performance. It includes the Trumpet, French Horn, Flugelhorn, Piccolo Trumpet, and a vintage Strings Synth, capturing the essence and variation of real brass sounds. Our commitment to authentic sampling provides you with real instruments in real spaces, enhanced with the functionality of a synthesizer and complete effects.
Recognizing the limitations of existing brass plugins, we brought in world-class brass musicians to sample non-traditional techniques and create instruments that deliver rich textures—a solution for composers seeking warmth and vitality in their arrangements. Each of the 10 sampled instruments contributes its own unique character, ideal for layering or using solo to craft dynamic compositions. We also incorporated vintage synthesizer brass sounds from the 70s to widen the tonal palette.
Equipped with an arpeggiator, Brass Stacks not only retains the organic essence of each instrument but also introduces a depth of functionality typical in synths. Users can shape tones with AHDSR envelopes and a customizable filter before sending the signal to three distinct LFOs: Gain, Pitch, and Filter. Finish crafting sounds with integrated effects that are designed to inspire creativity.
