Crocus Soundware Liminal

Crocus Soundware is pleased to present LIMINAL: CHAMBER STRING TEXTURES VOLUME 1, a library of intimately recorded Violin, Viola and Cello samples - playable using the full version of Kontakt 6.6.1+. The library's articulations are aleatoric, long and evolving, with the performer imparting character and movement into each sample. Recorded closely and dry, the sounds are great for adding unpredictable nuance, detail and creative imperfection. This library is not intended for fast passages or soaring melodies. It is especially suited as a collection of naturalistic pads, perfect for underscoring or ethereal soundscapes.

Introducing LIMINAL: VOCAL TEXTURES VOLUME 2, our second library of human vocalist samples - playable using the full version of Kontakt 6.7.1+. The library's articulations are expressive and evolving, with the performer imparting character and movement into each sample. The performers were mic'd closely using large diaphragm condenser microphones, capturing breath and characteristic intimacy into each sample. The library is well-suited to add unpredictability and creative imperfection. The LIMINAL range is not intended for fast passages or soaring melodies. Instead, you may see the libraries as collections of naturalistic pads - offering humanistic details not found in something derived from a synthetic source. Several articulations have a strong focus on rhythm and synchronicity, taking advantage of Kontakt's Time Machine Pro feature.
