Trailer Xpressions II – The BOOM Experience

50% BOOM LIBRARY SAMPLES + 50% SAMPLE LOGIC VIRTUAL INSTRUMENT = 100% PERFECTION

Most trailer sound products and albums require that each sound is licensed on a per use basis and often are only available as raw audio files, leaving end users on their own to crop and manipulate the sounds before they can even be used. With TRAILER XPRESSIONS II, the goal was to simplify the creative process by delivering the best of both worlds, a sound library of license-free insanely expressive audio files produced by BOOM Library and a dynamic virtual instrument developed by Sample Logic. Ownership of TXII grants a lifetime license for the use of all of its contents. No future licensing or royalty fees are required. In this way, TXII delivers a world-class product that provides amazing trailer sounds with the flexibility and creative ease to suit anyone’s workflow. In addition to the construction kit virtual instruments (with a UI designed for morphing and sculpting), TXII provides direct access to the raw audio files that drive the instruments. These audio files are delivered in .wav format and can be directly imported into any DAW. Each audio file name is indicated right inside the virtual instrument interface, so as they are played, an info text is displayed in the GUI to indicate the sound file folder location.

TXII contains sounds from the following commercial BOOM Library products:

• CINEMATIC HITS
• CINEMATIC METAL
• CINEMATIC TRAILERS DESIGNED
• DESTRUCTION DESIGNED
• CINEMATIC HORROR DESIGNED

In addition to these sounds, over 500 never-before-heard sounds have been selected explicitly from BOOM’s private vault of unpublished sounds.

THE TXII INTERFACE: POTENT & STRESS-FREE CONTROLS

Developed for the industry-standard Native Instruments Kontakt sampler, TRAILER XPRESSIONS II has been intuitively scripted. Through in-depth research and extended focus groups with leading trailer and film composers, Sample Logic was able to decode, define, and implement the core set of interface controls that musicians want, use and require.

This includes:

• • All new Global and Independent Modes for user interface parameters
  • Master hi-cut and lo-cut filters to easily shape the overall mix
  • Waveform view that displays the sample being performed
  • Adjustable sample start slider to change the start point of sample playback
  • Attack and release knobs to adjust the gain envelope over time
  • Pitch slider that can transpose up/down 1 octave
  • Delay module with presets
  • Convolution section with over 25 different convolution reverbs

New for TXII, is Global and Independent Modes for controlling how the user interface parameter controls are applied to each key/note pressed. This allows each sample to posses it’s own independent parameters and controls (all user customizable), or all samples to be affected at once and the same. Along with all of these indispensable effects and parameters, Sample Logic specifically designed customized mastering effects for the TRAILER XPRESSIONS series called “Energizer” and “Polisher” – multiprocessor effects for dynamic and dramatic sound shaping. The Energizer brings an edge to the sounds, while Polisher adds a final enhanced sparkle. All of these global controls can quickly be assigned to an external MIDI controller and are an integral part of the UI. Of course one of this would be complete without an easy way to access favorite sounds. While playing a key, pressing the heart button will earmark favorites within each construction kit. Doing so will make each sample’s key on the keymap light up red. The instrument will recall the sounds every time a new instance is loaded.
