The FORZO Modern Black Friday deal puts Heavyocity's Kontakt brass library at $199, 63% off, until Dec 18, 2026.
FORZO: Modern Brass is an orchestral brass instrument built on 25 GB of samples. Heavyocity's sound design team made it with composer Jason Graves and film score engineer Satoshi Mark Noguchi, with the aim of setting a new benchmark for orchestral brass.
The players are 12 french horns, four trumpets, eight trombones (tenor, bass and contrabass) and two tubas. The library holds 107 articulations and 11,475 samples.
Creative articulations such as cluster bends and random flutters sit alongside the standard playing styles.
The five traditional sections are French Horns, Trumpets, Trombones, Tubas and the Full 26-piece Ensemble. The Full Ensemble NKI puts the whole brass orchestra under your fingers at once.
The maker says that ensemble was recorded playing together in the same room.
The sessions took place on the main soundstage at Skywalker Sound. Heavyocity's team travelled across the country to record there.
The maker says the room adds an organic warmth around the brass that plugins and algorithms cannot recreate.
It is the same stage where The Fountain, Dead Space 2 and the Gears of War scores were recorded.
A CYCLE page handles advanced granular and rhythmic playback. A MACRO knob gives you dynamic control over several parameters at once.
The library runs on the Kontakt 5 engine and needs Kontakt 5 (Player) version 5.8 or later. It is Komplete Kontrol integrated and NKS-ready.
On Mac, the minimum is OS X 10.11, macOS 10.12 or 10.13, an i5 and 4 GB of RAM. On PC, it is Windows 7, 8 or 10, an Intel Core i5 or equivalent and 2 GB of RAM.
A 6 GB RAM setup is recommended for large Kontakt instruments, and an OpenGL 2.1 graphics card is required. An internet connection is needed to download and activate it, and the product works offline once activated.
The library is a direct download only. It takes 25 GB uncompressed, or 16 GB on disk with NI lossless compression.
