EVERY DETAIL CAPTURED
The 30 GB sound library in SESSIONS HORNS PRO is ten times larger than the one in SESSION HORNS.
34 articulations, up to four round robins, up to four velocity layers, and true vibrato samples mean your horn arrangements sparkle.
ANIMATED PERFORMANCE
Jam on over 200 ready-to-play, expertly-arranged riffs with the Animator. Trigger up to six phrases at a time via keyswitch – always in perfect harmony.
Smart Voice Split makes sure that each note is handled by the right instrument and Legato Mode mimics real world performance technique for incredible realism.
MIXER AND EFFECTS
Set individual instrument levels and panning, compress and EQ each voice separately, and sweeten with reverb and delay.
Then add master effects including compression, EQ, tape saturation, and a lowpass filter. Finish off with the special ‘twang’ amp simulation for added mix glue.
