Vintage Horns is a horn section virtual instrument ReFill for Reason 6 that gives you every instrument you need to emulate the classic horn section sounds of R&B, Soul, and Funk bands from the 60’s and 70s.

As with its sister product, Vintage VI, the goal for Vintage Horns was not to create a shiny, perfect-sounding virtual instrument. Instead, we tried to capture the way horn sections sounded back in the 60s and 70s, including the minor imperfections that added character to those sections and made them sound so good.

Vintage Horns features nine multi-sampled brass and wood wind instruments:

• Baritone Sax
• Tenor Sax
• Alto Sax3
• Alto Flute
• Soprano Flute
• Trombone
• Flugel Horn
• Muted Trumpet
• Open Trumpet

With Vintage Horns you can re-create the most popular horn section sounds of the 60’s and 70s, including:

• The Memphis Soul horn section, which typically used a single trumpet  with one  tenor sax and occasionally a bari sax

• The famous horn section sound of the JBs, which featured trombone, trumpet, alto sax, tenor sax, and bari sax

• The classic big production sound of Detroit Soul

• The Philly Soul sound, with flutes and flugel horn

• And the powerful Oakland Soul sound, with bari sax, 2 tenor saxes, trombone, and two trumpet switching to flugel horns on ballads.

True Keys is a Piano Virtual Instrument. It was created by recording nearly 50,000 audio files using some of the best microphones and recording equipment available today. Then, the audio files are matched to their corresponding piano, note, microphone position and velocity to build an electronic version of the piano. Next, the audio files are loaded into a software playback device called an engine that runs on a sophisticated scripting language to mimic the natural sound and playability of a real piano.

Traditional keyboards that have piano sounds built-in are typically built from modeling or by using samples. Models are mathematical representations of sound much like a synthesizer. A modeled piano is essentially a very large math equation used to mimic the sound of a piano. Samples are based on real recordings of an instrument. True Keys is built using real audio samples in every aspect of the software. From the individual microphone positions to the samples sympathetic resonance. Everything you hear is real.
