Hyperion Brass Elements Black Friday pricing is 50% off, which brings this Soundiron brass ensemble library for Kontakt Player to $49.50 until Dec 6, 2026.
It is a Kontakt instrument covering six brass sections, recorded up close in Studio A at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, CA. The maker says it was hand-edited and balanced for playability and acoustic realism.
Soundiron calls it a universal orchestral chamber brass library. The pitch is a forward, strong tone with a wide dynamic range that you can shape to fit different genres.
The interface carries spatialization, environment simulation and positioning controls, so you can dial in the room and character you want.
You get 10 combo ensemble presets plus 6 Master and True-Legato section presets. The sections are:
Articulations cover sustains, True Legato, flutter tongue, staccatos, double and triple tongue, and dynamic expressions.
The sustains blend vibrato and non-vibrato, recorded in piano, mezzo-forte and forte. Staccatos come in long and short versions, with loose and tight staccatissimo and 4x round-robin.
Expressions include crescendos, decrescendos, sforzandos and swells, with time-stretching, tempo-sync and automatic release.
Easy-Lead lets you move from tight staccatos to long dynamic sustains without keyswitching. Play quick notes for staccatos, hold the keys for sustains.
The True-Legato presets use speed control that adapts to how you play, with full manual control when you need it. The maker says it handles both fast runs and long, smooth melodies.
Adaptive Play Assist and Arpeggio systems are built in for quick idea sketching.
The library is Powered-By-Kontakt Player Edition, so it runs in the free Kontakt Player (version 6.2 or newer) as VST, AU or AAX. It also works with Komplete Kontrol, S-Series keyboards, NKS hardware and software, the Libraries browser and Native Access.
It holds 12,800 samples in 24-bit, 48 kHz stereo lossless NCW format. Installed size is 4.71 GB (10.2 GB as wav).
For a Mac you need OS X 10.12 or higher. On a PC you need Windows 7 or higher. Soundiron recommends a dual-core CPU, 3+ GB of RAM and a SATA or SSD drive.
Your full purchase amount can go toward an upgrade to the full Hyperion Symphonic Brass when it is released.
