Horns E Tubas

• SWAM Horns and Tubas utilize Physical Modeling to replicate real-time articulations based on physical elements like pipe length and breath pressure.
• Features include modulation of sound with a hand inside the bell for French Horns and an additional-valve option for pedal notes.
• Compatible with macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) to 15 (Sequoia) and requires a minimum 1.6 GHz Core 2 Duo CPU for optimal performance.

Product Overview

Horns E Tubas features a collection of five low brass instruments, including bass tuba, tuba (Eb), euphonium, and French horns (F and Bb). Utilizing Physical Modeling technology, this library offers real-time control over articulations, allowing for expressive performances that capture the nuances of live playing.

Details

The instruments are designed to replicate all typical articulations by manipulating key physical elements such as pipe length, detail pressure, and lip tension. French horns can be further modulated with hand positioning inside the bell, while an additional-valve option enables pedal notes across the brass family. This flexibility makes the library suitable for a variety of scoring contexts, from orchestral arrangements to contemporary compositions.

Real-time controls include expression dynamics, note transitions (staccato, legato, portamento), vibrato depth and rate, as well as various performance techniques like growl and flutter tongue. The interface is designed for ease of use, ensuring that musicians can focus on creativity without technical barriers. This makes Horns E Tubas a valuable tool for composers seeking realistic brass sounds with a high degree of expressiveness.
