Majestic Power
From symphonic masterpieces to blockbuster scores, these horns live up to their name, delivering an 'instant-epic' sound with remarkable flexibility. Their rich tone embodies bravery and adventure, dazzling with boldness and resonance. These eight double horns create an expansive sonic presence, perfectly capturing the grandeur of the oversized late Romantic orchestra and the iconic Hollywood-style orchestral sound, with a breathtaking Cinemascope-like breadth. With this massive ensemble, a truly monumental brass sound is just a click away.
Versatile & Expressive
The library features a full set of expressive and dynamic articulations, offering various short and long notes, legatos (including fast legatos), crescendos and diminuendos, sfz, sffz, pfp, flutter tongue, and half and whole tone trills. Recording the samples relatively dry at the Silent Stage makes it possible to place them on your virtual stage and in the stereo field wherever you like, but also enables you to integrate the ensemble with the Synchron Series by using the internal convolution reverb recreating Vienna’s own scoring stage, Vienna Synchron Stage.
