ILIO Big Bang Orchestra: Izar Low Brass Clustersis a virtual instrument with a library comprising an ensemble of 4 bass trombones, 1 bass tuba, and 1 contrabass tuba playing half-tone clusters at Synchron Stage A Vienna. A perfect complement to Big Bang Orchestra: Jupiter, Hercules, and Kopernikus brass ensembles, this library expands the series with brassy sounds in the lower register, ideal for creating dramatic dissonances and powerful fortississimos effortlessly right out of the box, and great for modern film and game scoring, trailer music, or sound design.

Big Bang Orchestra: Izar includes all of the articulations of BBO: Hercules Low Brass, sans legatos, and played as clusters. You get short notes, marcatos, several dynamic articulations (sfz and sffz, and various crescendos and decrescendos), flutter tonguing, trills, glissandos, and fast repetitions, all played as half-tone clusters consisting of three adjacent semitones. For long notes, you can choose whether to use an additional fff layer. There is also a preset that combines patches of BBO: Hercules (if installed) and Izar, allowing you to crossfade from straight notes to clusters.

All six musicians performed together and were recorded with an array of microphones including individual close mics for each instrument, mid mics, Decca Tree (left-center-right), surround, and high surround outriggers. This gives you more control and more creative options when mixing your sound using the included Synchron Player's internal mixer.

The software is compatible with Mac and Windows. It runs as standalone software or operates in AU, VST, and AAX formats. Big Bang Orchestra: Izar can be combined with the tutti recordings of the Big Bang Orchestra to create an even brassier orchestral sound. It also integrates seamlessly with every module in the Big Bang Orchestra series.
