Create Your Own Unique Combinations From 54 Stunning Solo instruments!

“Chris Hein Horns Compact V2” contains 4 Multi-Instruments and 54 Single-Instruments. The Multi-Instruments have an 8-channel mixer to instantly load different single instruments.

All instruments in a Multi-Instrument react on the same midi channel and act as one instrument, it’s really fun to build colorful sections by loading different instruments into the mixer.

However, the Multi-Instruments need quite a bit of computer performance, especially when using the “Velo-Mode“. If you only need one instrument, it’s recommended to use the Single-Instruments.

“Chris Hein Horns Compact V2” comes with a whole host of features designed to help you produce realistic performances with ease, including:

6 velocities for the sustained notes

velocities for the sustained notes 5 different articulations available via Hot-Keys

different articulations available via Hot-Keys 5 Velocity-Modes – Velocity Key, Velo Fade, Velo Key & Fade, Velo Auto Fade & Velo Key & Auto Fade

– Velocity Key, Velo Fade, Velo Key & Fade, Velo Auto Fade & Velo Key & Auto Fade ADSR – Control of the Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release

– Control of the Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release Dynamics Control – Adjust the Velocity Response of your midi keyboard.

No key-switching is required to access different articulations and playing-techniques.

Play Page / General Preset

After loading an instrument, the first screen you‘ll see is the Play-Page. This screen only contains some Info fields which show the actual loaded instruments and meters which indicate the level of Vibrato, Velocity-Fade and the Velocity of the last note played.

Keyboard Layout

The Keyboard-Layout Page lets you assign a specific keyboard range for each mixer channel. This enables you to play different combinations of instruments on different keyboard positions simultaneously.

This feature is fantastic for a live performance. For example, you can assign a low brass section at the bottom, a group of saxes in the middle and some trumpets at the top range of your midi keyboard.

Hot-Keys

The Hot-Keys are special keys which are used to trigger different effects and articulations. The position of the Hot-Keys can be set to any key, you can even assign two Hot-Keys to the same note, if you feel that makes sense.

The position of each Hot-Key is represented by a uniquely colored bar in the Keyboard Layout.

Micro Tuning

All samples in CHH are perfectly tuned to the standard chromatic scale with A at 440Hz. However, real brass players usually don‘t play perfectly in tune.

You can edit the tuning in precise detail, in the Micro-Tuning Page. You can create your own tuning scales by shifting the tuning of each note up or down, or you can use one of the pre-programmed tuning scales based on some of the most famous historical scales.

12 Micro-Tuning preset scales are available. You can build your own tuning scales or use the pre programmed scales and edit them in order to create your own scales. In addition to the Micro-Tuning scales you can fine tune each instrument in its channel strip in the Mixer Page.

“Chris Hein Horns Compact V2” makes it easy to create your own combinations of instruments, play them all together or build your own live-setup with separate sections in different keyboard zones. All in one single instrument!
