Crocus Soundware LIMINAL: Zephyrian Brass KONTAKT
Crocus Soundware proudly presents LIMINAL: Zephyrian Brass — an intimate and atmospheric brass library for Kontakt 6.8+, featuring Trumpet, Trombone, and Valve Trombone in solo and ensemble performances. Rather than focusing on traditional articulations or virtuosity, this library explores the quiet, aleatoric, and expressive sides of brass instruments — ideal for composers seeking evolving textures and humanistic detail.
What Makes Zephyrian Brass Unique?
At its core, this library captures the nuanced breath and tone of each instrument — from fragile whisper tones to swell-driven crescendos and muted flourishes. These are not your typical brass samples. Instead, LIMINAL: Zephyrian Brass offers playable, evolving textures that live between pitch and air, designed to evoke emotion, atmosphere, and sonic exploration.
Using large-diaphragm condenser microphones placed inches from the bells, we captured hyper-detailed performances that emphasize movement, imperfection, and the subtle tonal shifts that only live performers can achieve.

LIMINAL: Zephyrian Brass isn’t built for fast runs or soaring solos. Instead, think of it as a library of organic, living pads—rich with unpredictability, warmth, and character. It’s perfect for ambient compositions, film scores, and any genre that demands texture over perfection, emotion over precision.
