Sweet Acoustic Textures - Basset Horn

Sweet Acoustic Textures - Basset Horn offers you both a traditional virtual instrument and a random acoustic textures generator.

In addition to the usual techniques, you can work with bisbigliando, flatterzunge, subtone... using, according to your needs, keyswitches or note density, velocity range and spatialization controls.

The 3894 selected samples were recorded with Joséphine Besançon on a Buffet-Crampon Prestige basset horn, in short and neutral acoustics, without any concession choosing the gears, then treated with the greatest care in the respect of the instrument tone.

Sweet Acoustic Textures - Basset Horn is designed for composers who need the rare tone of this instrument for their compositions or for the ones who are looking to create unheard acoustic textures.
