Product Overview
Chronicles – Brass & Wood is a cinematic indie winds instrument for Native Instruments Kontakt, recorded in a world-class scoring stage and designed for expressive motion and texture.
Built around clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, and flugelhorn, the instrument captures a more intimate, character-driven side of cinematic winds. Featuring virtuosic performances by Dane Laboyrie and Mark Taylor, Chronicles – Brass & Wood combines tempo-synced motion with performance-based articulations to create winds that feel personal, expressive, and alive rather than orchestral or polished.

Performance and Motion
Chronicles – Brass & Wood blends tempo-synced motion articulations with performance-based material across multiple wind and brass sources. Motion elements provide rhythmic clarity, while the recorded performances retain natural timing, breath, and articulation.
This approach keeps rhythmic motion aligned to tempo while allowing the performances to remain expressive and human.
Instrument Blend
The engine combines clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, and flugelhorn within a single playable interface. These instruments can be blended to create expressive textures, melodic gestures, and cinematic underscore with a distinctly indie character.
Workflow
Tempo-synced motion articulations provide rhythmic structure, while performance-based and textural articulations introduce human nuance and subtle unpredictability.
Virtual Stage and Microphone Control
A virtual stage allows control over microphone perspective, giving flexibility from close and intimate sound to wider, cinematic room presence.
Kontakt Player Compatibility
Chronicles – Brass & Wood runs in the free Native Instruments Kontakt Player and does not require a full Kontakt license. NKS support is included for compatible hardware and software environments.
