Overview

If you're working on anything period or rural, anything romantic and wistful, this module should be your first port of call. We've strived hard to make this module react to your playing and not dictate to you how to construct shameless lyricism and melodious beauty. Your next hummable award winning score may lie beneath this module!

This is a deeply sampled library featuring the talents of some of the finest woodwind players in London today. Recorded to tape via the finest signal path in one of the finest rooms. This volume contains a selection of essential articulations curated by multi award winning composers and musicians. The library features multiple round robins, dynamic layers and easy to use, fully functional legato with control of vibrato. With a selection of microphones and mixes to choose from, we've given you the control of orchestral, widescreen to close and intimate. We're hoping this instalment will become a sampling classic and we hope will encourage and inspire your best writing.

Background

Part of a new, long-term project entitled The British Modular Library providing composers with the ability to add fine detail, musical expression, beauty and focus to their work. To write music that musicians love to play and to get the most out of smaller ensembles and the wealth of timbral colour and character they can add to any project. After many years of development experience Spitfire are presenting this library with 7 mic positions, recorded at 96k through vintage valve and ribbon mics to tape through Neve preamps via Prism convertors, and presented at 48k, 24bit in Kontakt format, and additionally three extremely useful ‘mixed’ versions by our engineering chief Jake Jackson.

Features

The 1st volume features six of the finest players in London today one recorded solo, two recorded in unison. They are seated exactly in situ so combine the a2 patches with the solo ones for a slightly larger section whilst maintaining spectral integrity. Moreover combine with other BML modules or indeed the Albion range and the spacial integrity is maintained. Remember this is not just panning left to right. If you want them to sound like they’re sitting behind the second violins you have to place them there!

We've selected essential articulations to get you up and running with full control of vibrato, very realistic 'true' legato and finely played shorts articulations.
