8Dio Claire English Horn Virtuoso [KONTAKT]

DARK. RESONANT. ENGLISH HORN The Claire Woodwind Series is a deep-sampled collection of the finest virtuoso woodwind soloists ever sampled. These are highly playable instruments soared with true emotion, effortless and equilibristic behavior. Our English Horn Virtuoso is the most expressive, playable, and lifelike English Horn ever sampled. The English Horn Virtuoso was recorded in a symphonic hall and contains three microphone positions (Close, Decca, Far). The core of the English Horn is its highly advanced legato system, which contains both slow and fast legato. The legato system allows you to play legato with passionate arcs, sustains, staccatissimo, expressive marcato, and more. We recorded arcs with both non-vibrato, medium and strong vibrato, so you can freely sculpt your performance from the subtle to vibrant. In addition, we also added trills, runs, staccatissimo and even non-tonal effects like breaths, valve sounds, and natural click noises. HIGH DEFINITION The Claire English Horn Virtuoso contains three microphone positions (Close, Decca, Wide). Everything was sampled at 96Khz, providing unprecedented detail in the sound and revealing details that would otherwise have been lost at lower resolutions. You can hear the warmth of the instrument, reflections of the room, the air and all the tiny, little details so often missed. ADVANCED LEGATO The Claire English Horn Virtuoso is based on a highly intuitive, playable and expressive legato system. We sampled a variety of different types of expressive sustains and arcs that are all connected to the legato system, so you can go between sustain types that are gentle (p-mp) to strong (f-ff) or sustain types with less or more vibrato. - Legato Articulation Types: + Legato Natural + Legato Medium 1 + Legato Medium 2 + Legato Strong 1 + Legato Strong 2 + Legato Sustain X-Fade + Legato Staccatissimo + Legato Marcato Expressive - Sustains MW/Crossfade Controlled - Staccatissimo - Marcato Expressive - 2nd Minor Trill - 2rd Major Trill - 1 Octave Runs Up/Down - 2 Octave Runs Up/Down - Arcs: + P-MP-P + P-MF-MP + MP-MF-MP + MP-MF-MP 2 + MP-F-MP + MP-F + F-FF-MP + MP-F SHRT - Bonus: 2nd Player Option - Bonus: Breath Samples - Bonus: Valve/Click Samples Full Retail Version Of Kontakt 5.8.1 Or Later Required!
