Session Horns Pro (Native Instruments) is another possibility. I have always used a Roland Integra-7 hardware synth until recently. If it seems like I'm ten years late asking about this, it's because I am slow getting into software MIDI sounds. I just need the standard trumpets, trombones, sax section and maybe flute and flugel. Note: I do NOT need rhythm section instruments. Just connect the instruments and let my dynamics and articulation in Notion 6 do the rest.ĭoes such a thing exist? I am happy to pay up to a thousand for it if it does.

I want a library that will sound better than the full bundle of Notion sounds, but interface with Notion 6 for Windows as a VST in a reasonably easy way. I want to compose and just create a quick listenable demo, not a finished background for a TV show.

What it is NOT easy to judge is, how much tweaking went into making those demos? When I listen to online demos of libraries such as Garritan, Chris Hein, Broadway Big Band, Straight Ahead, and Mojo Horn 2, it's easy to judge which sound OK and which are stronger on certain instruments. Most of my music is contemporary Latin jazz and Bossa Nova. I write for a college and a semi-pro jazz ensemble (big band).
