Marching Band Horn - Kontakt 4 and soundfont

The exact name of this instrument is unknown. It uses a French horn mouthpiece and the range is a little lower than a trumpet and a little higher than a trombone. To make most of the instruments in this set I played single notes and RESYNTHESIZED them to create multi-samples. In all cases the resulting tone is still very brassy and close to the natural one. 

Moreover, some samples are time-stretched so this library is definitely not meant to perfectly emulate the real instrument. It's a simple library without velocity layers or alternate samples but it is great for adding a horn flavor and also providing a wider range of uses, a good way to add brassy sounds to your compositions. The sounds range from smooth and mellow to hard hitting and growling, from staccatos and stabs to sustained pads. 

The programs are in 2 main folders, "01 Natural" and "02 Transformed". The programs in the first folder play the samples as they are except for the added Kontakt reverb. The second folder contains instruments made with Kontakt's tone or time machines engines. The "01 Natural" folder contains 38 single instruments, 6 combis and 6 multis. The "02 Transformed" folder contains 13 single instruments and 7 multis. Two scripts are included.

Package includes various formats, see variants above.

- NI Kontakt 4 (full version, not the player)

- Soundfont

The soundfont version is simpler than the Kontakt 4 version as Kontakt offers many tools that cannot be duplicated in a soundfont. All the samples are the same in both versions, but the soundfont does not have any combis, multis, scripts and various playback engines.
