AcousticSamples have been planning a horns project for awhile, (their first recordings were back in 2012) but many things prevented them from doing - namely the fact that they wanted to avoid the need for too many keyswitches, in favor of being able to just control the air flow.

Thanks to their recent work on a hybrid technology blending samples and modeling, they were able to overcome both of these problems and take advantage of having the best of both worlds: impeccable authentic sounding horns with a simple, powerful way of playing them.

Acoustic Samples found a way to combine both technologies by using samples as the sound source, while the rest utilises modeling techniques. This allows V Horns to weigh just around 90Mb per instrument (retina graphics and presets included), to truly sound like a real live Horn instrument being recorded with all of its imperfections, as well as having fully continuous response with incredible playability.

And they are confident in saying that to our ears, and hopefully yours too, VHorns is the most realistic and easy-to-use VST available today. Here are a few performances from real musicians and what Acoustic Samples recreated using VHorns (and used for their demos).

Acousticsamples products require you to register with the manufacturer at www.acousticsamples.net to activate your license. To use UVI Libraries you also need to register with www.uvi.net.

You can either "soft" activate on your computer without addditional hardware or transfer the license to an iLok USB dongle which has to be purchased separately. The iLok dongle can be used to run the protected software on different computers. Your licenses can be easily manged using the iLok Licence Manager. To protect your investment against theft or loss we recommend the iLok Zero Downtime protection with TLC.

The VHorns Baritone Saxophones are based on HAT (Acousticsample's proprietary Harmonic Alignment Technology). This technology allows us to accurately reproduce the timbre evolution from very soft to very loud playing.
