“As with their wonderful Symphonic String Collection library, the new Sonic Implants Symphonic Brass Collection is the definitive collection of brass instruments and articulations created to date. There is no other library, recent or otherwise, that provides the variety of articulations and level of playability and realism provided by this collection. As a composer electronically creating orchestra mock-ups, it is important to recreate the orchestra and it's dynamic range with detail. The Symphonic Brass Collection provides the detail and nuance to convincingly emulate the sound of a real brass section, whether it be a solo instrument, a chamber ensemble or a full size Hollywood style orchestral brass section. The number of instrument articulations provided for each section is unparalleled, as well as the extensive programming done to control the various articulations. All in all, there has not been a more comprehensive library to date and I am sure that as with the Symphonic String Collection, the Symphonic Brass Collection will stand the test of time and the release of other competing products.”

“What can I say? This is simply the finest sample library on the market. The samples are amazingly accurate, warm, responsive and, most importantly, extremely viable in real applications. Whether you're using the library exclusively or layering them in with live musicians, the Complete Symphonic Collection works seamlessly in integrating and creating a truly rich orchestral score. It is a great tool and a fantastic value for anyone who is serious about finding the right templates for television and film composition.”

Rob Arbittier. Credits Include: Composer of hundreds of TV commercials, movie trailers, and 'behind-the-scenes' specials for DVDs. Production and keyboard credits also include albums by Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, and many other artists.
“The Sonic Implants Symphonic String Collection library is beautifully recorded and very complete. But even with it's size, I find it's organization makes it fast and easy to use. When orchestrating, I can often start with one of the large, expressive, multi-section string patches, then just add a few extra patches with different articulations as needed. If I have time to do a more precise job, the library offers a huge variety of sections and styles. I wish I had brass and woodwinds that sounded this good.”

“In the short time I have had SISB, it has become a integral part of my composing setup. The break down of sections is most convenient and the articulations are comprehensive. This affords me versatility in writing for correct section sizes. I have found the Symphonic Brass Collection to be sonically excellent across the board. The staccatos play very comfortable under my fingers moving nicely between velocity layers. Mixing the Orchestral Brass with your Symphonic String Collection is almost effortless. Again, very nicely done.”

Roger Manning. Credits Include: Keyboardist for such diverse artists as Beck, Sheryl Crow, Air, Melissa Ethridge, Ziggy Marley, Green Day, Blink 182, Johnny Cash, and many others.
“Live and in the studio, Sonic Implants are with me. The sounds breathe and have the quality and feel I need to get right to the music.”

Chris C. Tilton
“Hi there. I recently purchased the Sonic Implants Symphonic String Collection library and I just wanted to drop a line saying how much I love them! These will certainly replace any string library I had before (except for maybe a few effects, etc. from some other libraries).

I really like the ease of switching between samples (via mod wheel) and I especially like the easy instructions included on creating your own custom samples, such as using the mod wheel, or any other controller, to switch between legato and staccato. The samples are also very rich, enabling me to use much less blending of multiple samples than I used to have to do.”

Shawn Patterson
“I place a great deal of importance on making my orchestral scores sound as life like and real as possible. In pursuit of this, I have bought every major orchestral brass library out there. I just got the Sonic Implants Brass Collection and honestly, it is miles in front of everything else I have heard and owned.

Within the Sonic Implants Brass Collection, there are a wide variety of beautiful articulations which are musical, clear and intelligently labeled - you don't need a manual to pick which articulation you need.

Since getting this library, whenever I build an orchestral template- Sonic Implants are there. I am using their brass and strings on every single orchestral score I compose.

I can not think of a more powerful tool to add to a composers arsenal to breathe believability and life into their music than adding Sonic Implant Orchestral Collections.

Any composer who is not using this library is simply not getting the best.”
