The deal
$39 at Pulse Audio (down from $49). Sale ends April 24, 2026.
What it is
Forge Trumpet is a Kontakt 7 instrument built around two performance engines - an Articulation Engine for expressive attacks, staccatos, marcato, accents, falls, scoops, and glissandos, and a Performance Engine with real recorded trumpet phrases that trigger from chord input in real time. Designed for cinematic impact and modern productions, it delivers a bold brass sound with natural timing and attack nuances no MIDI sequence can replicate. Requires the full version of Kontakt 7.10.9 or later (not the free Kontakt Player).
Who it's for
Composers writing cinematic scores, action or adventure cues, or modern brass-forward productions who need a trumpet library with realistic articulation detail and playable phrase performance.
Key features
- Articulation Engine covers the full dynamic range from soft attacks to aggressive accents, with falls, scoops, and glissandos for precise expressive writing
- Performance Engine delivers BPM-synced real trumpet phrases in 4/4 and 6/8 that follow your chord input in real time
- Close and room mic positions on both engines give you control over placement in the mix
- 391 MB library built from real performed trumpet cells with natural timing and attack variations that MIDI can't replicate
