Description

SAMPLELOGIC
Fanfare Marching & Cinematic Brass
Win/Mac Compatible
Professional Virtual Instrument for Native Instruments Kontakt
(Apparently this works on 'Kontakt Player' as well.  That is a good thing as it is Free, and the full version of Kontakt can be pricey if you don't already have it.  Nice to have a 'Physical' copy of this type software as these days all is download.  I personally like in-hand software.  Meh...up to the individual)
(Also, once registered, see what updates and added features Samplelogic is offering in their download support section.  I posted the latest minimum requirements in the description, but those may be with the latest updates as noted here, so be sure to update accordingly)
(There is also a FANFARE Expansion Pack on Samplelogic's site for )
New in Sealed Case as shown in pictures
(Never opened or registered. Being software there are no returns once opened.  However, if you do run into a problem, please contact me and will do all I can to assist.  Thx)
There are excellent demos of what this instrument can do on Samplelogic's website.  Quite extraordinary capabilities.  The Brass instruments are phenomenal, but it is more than Brass alone.  Particularly the morphed sounds as described briefly in this description.  I highly encourage any buyer interested to do so.  YouTube has many videos on this VST as well.  Thx.
Free Shipping in U.S. Only
(International Shipping welcome.  It will be shipped via eBay's Global Shipping Program [GSP], which will be shipping, and Customs charges added by eBay.  We sellers do not get any of that money.  It will cost more, but it is a good shipping method that covers all areas including Customs.  Should arrive with no issues.  Thx)
Overview
A ground-breaking Kontakt Player virtual instrument pairing DCI World-Champion Blue Devils marching brass with full-blown cinematic soundscapes, Fanfare delivers the definitive marching brass and morphed cinematic library.
Sample Logic and System Blue are proud to announce Fanfare, a ground-breaking Kontakt Player virtual instrument pairing the DCI World-Champion Blue Devils marching brass with the award-winning sound design of Sample Logic. From traditional marching brass to full-blown cinematic soundscapes, Fanfare delivers the definitive marching brass library for educators and arrangers, and an extraordinarily versatile and inspiring construction toolkit for film, TV, game composers, producers, and electronic musicians. Tapping into the mind of premier wind and brass arranger John Meehan, Fanfare features a broad array of samples recorded by Leslie Ann Jones on The Scoring Stage at Skywalker Sound (Lucasfilm Ltd Company) and on the field at Ralph Wilson Stadium (home of the Buffalo Bills) by Grammy® Award winner Frank Dorritie. The indoor recordings were done at close, mid, and far microphone placements, while the outdoor recordings were captured with state of the art stadium surround sound recording techniques. The resulting sonic textures range from full stadium ambience to an “in-your-face” 85-piece brass ensemble, with all of the recordings capturing The Blue Devils’ signature sound of amazingly inventive chords, avant-garde clusters, swells, and organic brass effects.

And it doesn't stop there…
Fanfare not only boasts the finest traditional marching brass samples, but extends the library’s sonic reach via Sample Logic’s signature “blurring the line between music and sound design” programming techniques. Starting with the traditional brass recordings, an entire library of morphed “cinematic” multi-sampled instruments was created, putting not only marching brass at your fingertips, but also an inspiring array of melodics, pads, leads, stingers, impacts, transitions, atmospheres, and articulated rhythms–all organized into easily accessible, production-ready presets.
The Instruments & Multis
:
A complete collection of traditional marching brass instruments (trumpets, mellophones, euphoniums, tubas, and trombones) recorded with multiple round robins, multiple dynamics, and up to five microphone placements.
Scoring Stage: Individual instruments and sectionals.
Stadium: Large sections and full ensemble.
A complete collection of evocative morphed cinematic instruments and rhythms.
Atmospheric/ambient soundscapes and stinger construction kits.
Arpeggiator/Arpeggigater rhythmic instruments.
Swipes, scrapes, impacts, and reverse transitional effects.
Performance-ready multis (playable interactive preset templates made from multiple instruments).
The FX
Fanfare offers full control over sound and performance, thanks to Sample Logic’s custom-designed Kontakt Player interface. Building on the exclusive “multi-core effects sequencer” first introduced in their Cinematic Guitars collection, Sample Logic puts complete, customizable user control right at your fingertips, with sequencers, LFOs, programmable arpeggiation, a unique Rhythmic Articulator, and a fully integrated multi-microphone mixer. Fanfare boasts over 40 screens of powerful, intuitive user interface controls.
Sample the future: The Arpeggigater
Sample Logic introduce a powerful addition to Fanfare:
The Arpeggigater
, which allows users to design custom gate sequencer patterns with effects simultaneously. This powerful addition allows for infinite sound-sculpting results.
Swirling the space: The Spinner
All of Fanfare's multi-mic instruments include a sound-swirling spinner effect. This effect allows users to not only change the listeners perspective around the concert hall (Left to Right and Close to Far), but also allows you to automate the listening position swirling the sound with your own custom patterns.
Morphed Sounds
The Morphed category is where Fanfare abandons all pretense of realism and enters the world of sound design. These sounds are sub-categorized into Atmospheres, Impacts and Instrumentals, with further sub-categories indicating function or mood. Instrumentals use the 'straight' brass samples as their source material, making use of Kontakt's effects, arpeggiators and the core effects sequencer to give a synthetic edge. Impacts comprise one-shot samples that specialize in those shock 'gotcha' moments, as well as arpeggiated rhythmic patterns. By far the most intriguing aspect of the Morphed category are the Atmospheres — a collection of Ambiences and Stingers that are quite often far removed from their brass origins, or, indeed, real-world sounds in general. Many of the samples are the result of extensive processing, warping and experimentation by Fanfare's creators, Joe Trupiano and Keith Robinson, while others demonstrate just how thoroughly the core effects sequencer is able to disguise the natural character of the original brass. If you're into modern pop production and cutting-edge sounds for games and movie scoring, then, this category offers a great deal of inspirational material.
Fanfare also introduces another tool to the core effects sequencer: the Arpeggiator, available only to sounds in the Morphed category. This affords each Kontakt effect its own step sequencer, but rather than modulating the effect parameters in the usual core effect sequencer manner, it modulates the effects' on/off status, basically 'gating' them on and off in rhythmic patterns.
