Dronar Brass Module £60
The Dronar line of Kontakt instruments keeps expanding with Brass Module, built on 5.4GB of brass band samples recorded in a church hall in Lancashire. Anything but your traditional brass library, these samples are the base for endless drones, pulses, pads, textures and ambiences; layered, manipulated, processed, keyswitched and auto-chord-triggered in one of the best Kontakt-powered engines around. However, it’s the least attention-grabbing entry in the range so far, perhaps because of the comparatively bland nature of the source sounds. www.timespace.com
