Description : After a long period of silence, Aria Sounds is very pleased to present LSB Solo French Horn for Kontakt 4 and above. This tool is another step forward Aria, with many features and careful sampling for a powerful and convincing sound.
The tool contains legato, sampled on three dynamic layers, with the possibility of crossfading via MIDI CC1 (mod wheel), as well as many other articulations …
Solo French Horn comes with a mixer that allows you to mix FOUR microphone positions; close mono, spot pair, stage (mid) and room (far) to create anything from a close, dry sound to a massive, distant, cinematic sound landscape.
Articulations :
– Polyphonic – play chords and other polyphonic passages (three dynamic layers)
– Legato – True legato (three dynamic layers)
– Trills Major 2
– Trills Minor 2
– Staccato (three dynamic layers with a 7RR repetitions)
– Flutter tongue
– Rips
Thanks for this opportunity to hear what’s out on the market…… I know there’s a “Tuba and French Horn” Kontakt library from over a decade ago, but a dedicated French Horn resource I’d no idea was ever produced. Strictly on the basis of a “purist” approach, I wonder why there’s such a market for (often heavily) processed samples……. kinda paints one into a corner if the library they’ve bought is processed TOO heavily or in ways that the purchaser has little use for.
Regardless, two go-to tones I use for a “base” is French Horn and also electric piano notes……. very smooth and focused in frequency spectrum, you get miles of “headroom” in which to process. Do appreciate this sample set.
You ever consider a forum for this site? I’ve run into quite a lot of dead-end links where the linked url comes up but instead of a countdown or pop-up, the destination link brings up a “Anonymous proxy detected…….” page. While I do use NoScript, I pretty much always grant permission to pages linked within your site but still, links seem to be dead-ends.
