Big Fish Audio Vintage Horns 3 KONTAKT

Like its best-selling predecessors, Vintage Horns 3 wasn't created to be a flawless, ultra-clean virtual instrument. Instead, our goal was to craft a collection of brass and woodwind instruments that embody the raw, organic character of horn players from the '30s to the '70s - complete with the quirks and imperfections that made their performances so memorable.
This library draws inspiration from the distinctive playing styles of legendary musicians such as Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker, Fred Wesley, Eddie Harris, Wayne Shorter, David Sanborn, and Lenny Pickett, as well as the powerhouse horn sections of Motown, Tower of Power, the J.B.'s, and the Rebirth Brass Band.

We embraced the loose tuning and kept in the expressive details that other virtual instruments might have removed - like honking, squawking, warbling, cracked, and slurred notes - the kind of nuances real horn players used throughout the '40s, '50s, '60s, and '70s.
The result? A sampled horn collection with true character - a virtual instrument unlike anything else on the market. We think you'll agree, and we hope you enjoy Vintage Horns 3 as much as we enjoyed creating it.
