Bell & Bone

(23 customer reviews)

A jazz focused brass library built for playable, expressive lines.

Bell & Bone is a jazz-focused trumpet and trombone sample library.

Both instruments were recorded with an emphasis on phrasing and response, so they feel natural to perform.

Common mutes are included and work as a separate layer. You can switch between unmuted, bucket, cup, and harmon at any time, and apply them to any articulation.

4 Classic Mutes

Straight, Cup, Harmon, and Plunger.

7 Articulations

Sustain, Shakes, Doits, Rips, and more.

Performance

Lightweight and responsive.

Jazz Grit

Dynamic vibrato, flutter, and growl.

What’s Included

Bell & Bone includes a range of keyswitched articulations. Each one has its own gain, velocity curve, and AHDSR controls, so you can balance and shape how they behave.

At the centre is the Performance articulation. Instead of switching articulations yourself, it follows how you play and chooses what fits. When you want finer control, you can move to the individual articulations.

Sustains use phase-aligned dynamic layers for smooth transitions, and the short articulations include multiple round robins to keep repeats from sounding mechanical.

Vibrato, growl, and flutter are all adjustable, so you can change the character of a line as you play.

Common mutes are included as a separate layer, with switching between unmuted, bucket, cup, and harmon across all articulations. For a wider selection of mutes, see our Sordina plugin.
