Audio Brewers Crescent v1.5 Stereo Version [KONTAKT]

In our search for push music forward, ‘Crescent’ is our latest bet in our philosophy of bringing music and instruments closer to YOU, the composer.

‘Crescent’ consists of a Cellos Quartet on a ‘crescent moon’ formation (semi circle), and this is where the whole sonic trip starts.

Thanks to our recording and mixing techniques, we’ve managed to create a library that will immerse your listeners in a next-level experience. With confidence, we can say there’s nothing like this around, anywhere.

And because immersion has many levels, we have mixed this library so that you can feel the most of it, whether you want to be completely surrounded by Cellos, to having a small Cellos section in front of you (with all the in-betweens!).

And when we talk immersion, we are talking of any speaker array, you will feel the Cellos embracing you whether you’re using headphones, stereo speakers, all the way up to Surround or even Dolby Atmos setups.

Now let’s talk about TRUE PANNING – ‘Crescent’ is the only strings library that allows you to freely place your sections anywhere around you, without having to hard pan anything – complete real results that fit your needs: A Cellos section on the right of the listener? Done! A Cellos section in the centre? Done! A Cellos section behind? Sure! True Panning completely phases out the stereo hard-panning that provides sub-standard results when it comes to having your strings sections organised in any fashion you might want. Regardless of you using Stereo or Surround arrays, True Panning’s results are completely real and override the old stereo hard-panning.

Finally, we have completely re-designed a polyphonic legato that will work perfect for those composers who play music live – no longer will you need to create 4 tracks on the DAW and then be enslaved by the mouse – with ‘Crescent’ you can simply sit on your MIDI Controller, and play complete polyphonic legato, switch legato types, switch articulations, use as many voices as you want, and never have to look at the computer.

The Instruments

Is there a more beautifully-sounding instrument than a Cello? Sure, four Cellos! And even better, all around the listener – a sonic embrace though the whole range of the instrument (and more) that will cover your music journey to perfection. From sweet sustains all the way to Sul Tasto, Sul Ponticello and even more experimental sustain types, you have it all!

Next-gen Polyphonic Legato

Created from the ground up, designed and coded by and for musicians, we’re proud to introduce our newest polyphonic legato, a new take focused towards freeing you from being a slave to the Mouse and the DAW. Our Polyphonic legato adapts to your playing style and is always aware of your intended interval – even if you overlap voices!

Additionally, you can switch legato styles and legato Articulations on-the-fly, never having to leave your MIDI controller!

No matter if you are using 1, 2, 4, 8 or as many voices as you want, our Polyphonic Legato is always aware of your voice movement.
