If you want a bizarre collection of brassy textures and sound design weirdness with the flavor of marching band brass, look no further than Fanfare. The unique qualities of this library make it fit comfortably into sound design or instrumental library categories. I include it in this article because although many of the presets are heavily processed, a large number have brass samples as part of their genesis. Many may argue that the graphic design of an interface is unrelated to the sonic capability or potential.
I disagree. Second, consider this scenario: A user is presented with two instruments that are functionally identical, but one has a stunning interface design and the other sucks. Not only will the user choose the former, but the graphics themselves may inspire the work in ways otherwise not possible. Four valve-like programmable sliders dominate the main GUI and can radically alter the effect of any given preset. They, of course, can be MIDI mapped and have varying functionality depending on the settings.
This instrument is not about traditional brass articulations or ensemble sounds, but more about brass-like textures and attitudes. If you already have a pure orchestral brass library, this one is the perfect compliment for when things need to get a little weird.

It truly is a matter of context and what particular sound you need at any given time.
It is not unusual for me to use three different DAWs for any given project, because every application has its strengths. Sample-based instruments and effects processing plugins are no different. In fact, if you find yourself using the same plugins or instruments on every project, it might be time for a change.
