I just demo'd the best sounding horns I have ever played, or heard. The developer has sent me a limited beta to play with.

But it is a VSTi from a Giga developer ?? That sounds like my app is getting long in the tooth ( Giga ) if they aren't releasing one 4 Gigastudio.
The product we be released in a couple of weeks, just think of Broadway, and the awesome live Orchestras that still perform there. This VSTi is monophonic like a real horn, but you build your sections up using multiple instances until you reach the desired effect.

All I can say is that it is very expensive, but I WILL be buying one. So in a couple of years everybody doing section horns, Orchestral, or Pop / Jazz, will be using this in their recordings. It is literally multiple instruments perfectly recorded, so it's up tp the artist to arrange and record his sections.

I use to think, well I need QL Brass for Orchestral, First Call for pop, Chronic Horns II for jazz, etc. etc. Those cost me 1000 USD. This will be 2.5 times that amount. But it is an instrument that will replace all reeds, and brass in one fell swoop. And all styles, Period.

This sounds very interesting, too bad its not going to be in giga format hope that isnt a bad sign. Will it be locked to a player like gvi or could something like Kontakt play it?

It currently runs on the Halion engine thanks to a small push by Yamaha.

The thing I like about this app is that it can do all styles. It is meant to be used by a good arranger. The endless amount of articulations per velocity level is what gives this so much flexability. I could imagine running 32 mono instances and blowing up a P3 Tualtin combo.

They simply knew if they would give me a taste, I would buy it. An effective " beta tester " technique. Theyv'e sucseeded. This is so expensive that it should be demo'd in a store. But they are well known developers whose client list follows them to hell and back. I have bought content from them since Gigasampler came out in the '90's.

I will be the best sounding broke keyboard player in town.

Halion :o , wow i almost forgot about that player with GS3 and Kontakt 2 being out. I wouldnt have expected a library as great as you described coming out on the halion player but if you think about it would bring them in the game in a big way not to say it is sub-standard but for me i always hear Kontakt/GS3/GVI first.

Is it going to be so expensive its going to be out of the reach of most project studio's, the price of a used car maybe :) .

I have a great affordable Virtual instrument which runs on GVI called Muse. It goes for 500 USD and has 38GB of content. It is an excellant value, and has some great pop sections. It is the best investment to date 4 the sheer amount of articulations and provided content.

I miss having a real section. Even one real horn player makes all sampled content being played live more realistic as the real horn is accompanied by the virtuals. But horn players here in Vegas get a good scale @ 1000 USD per week. Maybe @ the Playboy gig I can add one w/ promises of fine trim, and beer and food.

Wayne, if you came to Vegas to work, you would be surprised @ these spoiled players. They only use their horn. No extras like you have. The new crop of horn players must be punished in the non union lounges 4 a while b4 getting that union gig. Funny thing is that they have great samplers they MIDI up to, and good equipment they drag w/ them to the gig. But once they play a showroom, forgeddabowdit. Now they show up seconds before curtain call, and complain as they constantly look @ their watches.

Uncool. Yeah, good horns with good attitudes are hard to find.

One special horn player with a good sample lib would be best of both worlds, true.

That's right my Brotha' from another mother.

What do you use Scope 4 BTW ?

I think because you use pedals, you have the ability to play some FAT mono bottom end stuff right?

Inquiring minds would likw to know,

My Scope pro/A16 rig graces the home setup, mainly to multitrack stuff for shows, bands etc. It's dripping with juicy Spacef/Flexor/Bowen goodness :)

It is above all a place to teach oneself the expansive possibilities of the flexible DAW, and earn some coin too.

The pedals are a live thing when feeding the Noah, which has normally has Minimax with a dash of B2003 sub and softclip, in mono or octave mode. When playing in unison with the tuba this is a bass sound that settles arguments.

Not a dry seat in the house :wink:

I use it also for dropping the Fender Jazz, taking a golden handbrake solo and keeping the bass going in smaller ensembles.

Although the Noah is mighty and beautifully roadcased, one day i will rack my Scope for the road, as you have admirably done, and punish the antipodean weak in a more severe manner from below. They shall only feel it briefly through their trembling feet before it is upon them.

Peace to all, Sharcs on Every Stage, W

Sweet Jesus. Now that's what I call descriptive low end. I have no doubt of it's power w/ the Tuba,...and minimax. Even the mighty Spartans in their Phalanx during battle would be honored to die w/ sounds like that alongside of them. Very inspring.

I have recently heard my stuff w/ the Barbetta Stereo Sub and can honestly say there is nothing as pretty as Full low end controlled by MIDI LFO's and filters. I am adding my Sherman Filter Bank to the Scope routing window today 4 use w/ the SE-1x for that good ol' Joe Vanelli sound from Love Of My Life album.

The last few days have been extremely productive, and am adding new content , uncharted territory for Scope which swallows whatever I throw @ it and turms out some knee shaking shit 4 sure. I'm going to throw in the Tuba samples from Muse w/ a slow panning LFO for big giant hot Lava bubbles.

Just when I thought I would take a break, you seemed to have inspired me to find more unused methods of routing that Scope provides, an endless source of creation 4 FAT BASTARDS, 4 several more hours.
