There you will notice four slots in the center of the screen that include different horns that make up a section. When you first load Session Horns Pro, you’ll be taken to the main window. And finally there is Solo which is similar to Key Switch but only uses one instrument at a time. The second is Key Switch which lets you select up to 9 of 16 available articulations. The first is Performance which gives you real-time performance of the horn sections, allows for different articulation and velocity, and grants access to the phrases in the Animator. After you’ve installed it and open the Kontakt player, you’ll notice that there are three. Session Horns Pro plays on Kontakt 5 and the free Kontakt 5 player.

Session Horns Pro Main Window with Animator There are 38 pre-arranged section presets and the Animator feature has also been boosted. The instrument range is expanded to include three saxophones, two trombones, three trumpets, a tuba, and a flugelhorn. Its highly detailed 30GB sample library is ten times larger than the one in the original Session Horns and comes with additional velocity layers and true vibrato samples. We’ve received a copy for review a few weeks ago and have been enjoying it ever since.Īccording to Native Instruments, Session Horns Pro provides users with an extended and comprehensive sample library of horn sounds, customizable horn sections of up to six instruments, and intelligent play modes for increased playability.

More recently Native Instruments, in partnership with e-Instruments has released Session Horns Pro, a major upgrade to the above mentioned Session Horns, offering 10 times the power, flexibility, and detail of the original. Shortly after that I did a review of their new Session Keys Grand S/Y which has now become my go-to virtual piano instument. I first discovered e-Instruments when they gave away copies of their Session Horns Native Instruments library earlier this year.
