Product Overview

Natural Horns features a collection of natural horns, capturing the unique tonal qualities of these historical instruments. With no valves or finger holes, the library focuses on the harmonic series, offering a range of expressive articulations suitable for both classical and contemporary compositions.

Details

The library includes ten different tuning slides, allowing for flexibility across various keys. Articulations encompass short and long notes, legato, staccato, and flutter tonguing, with dynamic control for nuanced performances. The recordings were made in the Silent Stage, providing a dry and controlled environment that enhances the intimate timbre of the instruments.

Performance features include fast repetitions and a variety of dynamic options, such as crescendos and sforzatos. The mixer presets facilitate authentic placement, allowing for integration into different virtual acoustic environments. This instrument is well-suited for scoring contexts that require a rich, organic sound, particularly in orchestral settings or character-driven narratives.
